What happened yesterday?

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I can't find any explanation of why mn was down. With the odd redirect and the history of the site over the summer, it would be rather good to have an explanation please.

When I try to post I get this

thanks for the screenshot moab; forwarding this one to tech

OK - looks like the key issues are with Threads I'm On and AIBU not appearing; I'm asking Tech to look at these now and will report back as soon as they've had a dig. Thanks for flagging, folks - and sorry again for the inconvenience

@moab

When I try to post I get this

Hi moab - could you possibly mail [email protected] to tell us where you were were trying to post, and what it was you were posting, when the error message came up?

Now I'm on my tablet-can't get on on my laptop!

@Egosumquisum

I love the redirect though.

mmsnet - goes to M&Ms - simple typo !!!

- yes, we spotted that one ego. Tech are aware and hopefully adding in a 'u' as we speak

@diddl

Now I'm on my tablet-can't get on on my laptop!

diddl, not to sound like a stuck record, but can I double check that you've cleared your cache, closed the windows you have open, opened a new window and tried to get on to the site through that? If that doesn't work, I'll get tech to take a look. Thanks for your patience.

Haven't cleared cache, but have tried with a new window. As long as I can get on somehow I'm ok!

OK, the clearing thing worked!

@diddl

OK, the clearing thing worked!

hooray! and

@Scobberlotcher

It amuses me that your page asking us to vote for mn as website of the year looks like this

Hope you sort the site issues out soon. I know it's a total ballache when techy stuff is buggered up.

Omg can you imagine the horror at realising you've just deleted the database

SHIIIIITT Ctrl+z Ctrl+z Ctrl+z

Well that was interesting, everything I just typed was in white, so I couldn't read it!

I can only access on iPhone via active conversation, every time I try to access AIBU I get the tech message

Have you deleted your cache?

Not having a problem today - but been doing stuff in Rl today
I got the same thing as moab - that was the layout of the error I was trying to describe in my post at Tue 22-Sep-15 12:03:53 (E/X/I what's the difference) - and it was trying to access the page through my bookmark (in Firefox) which is 'threads I'm on'.
Definitely something funky going on yesterday - I also had a blue screen on my laptop (didn't notice the error as it auto reboots) when I tried to go to sleep mode (might be a coincidence but not had one for a year) and Firefox crashed on my tablet...when I was looking at MN...

This is probably the wrong thread - because it is related to JeffHackergate:

People have de-registered and re-registered again, are their previous user names now available

if so, a search on that name won't show the history or indicate the authenticity of that poster. I have seen one that I believe is being 're-used' by someone else. I have reported to MNHQ.

MN I still cant access from google search. It just goes to the page that says its temporarily down. I am having to log on through the link provided by MN yesterday in the facebook link
