It's happened a lot over last few days

have you noticed the times of the posts too? yours says 11.39 and its only 10.49

SoupDragon · 16/05/2009 10:43

It's because you've neglected your housework/children/significant other. As part of the last revamp, a new feature was added to suspend access for those MNers who have been particularly lax with their Other Duties.

oops its changed back now!

poopscoop · 16/05/2009 10:46

and this isnt going to top of active convos because of all the posts which were supposed to be an hour later at 11 something iuswim lol

Oooh, time travel... do you think Dr Who will be along in a moment?

MerlinsBeard · 16/05/2009 10:49

There's been a problem with the data centre but we have tech on standby. If there are any problems he's getting to them as quick as possible.
Rather like the idea of Doctor Who appearing any moment though!

Mine has been dire too this week.
Is most annoying... every time I sit down to feed ds...I've resorted to reading The Times

I think the slattern detector must be broken as I am allowed on now and I only did minimal house work...please dont fix it though, I dont want to have to clean anymore

KingCanuteIAm · 16/05/2009 13:17

Yes the first post time stamp is wrong still (well it is for me!)

It is odd, HQ said the YetMoreTech was on it so, hopefully, it will be sorted, although I am getting the impression it is higher up the chain than MN so I don't know how much they can do.

policywonk · 17/05/2009 14:52

What's a data centre?

southeastastra · 17/05/2009 14:54

it just told me to go to bed and all would be well in the morning

tempting but it's only five to three

mamadiva · 17/05/2009 15:13

Ooh thank god! I thought my computer was broken

I can't click on any links either they are turning purple but not actually doing anything. Is anyone else having the same problem?

KingCanuteIAm · 17/05/2009 15:13

It wouldn't let me back on this morning

MNHQ, I am not sure if you know this, during all these periods of down time there is no MN "be back soon" page, it is just a standard cannot display page. Well, it is for me anyway!

NorbertDentressangle · 17/05/2009 15:16

I was trying to get onto MN between about 2-3pm but kept getting "oops. Link is broken" message (but not the MN version) -was it down for everyone then?

DesperateHousewifeToo · 17/05/2009 15:33

Was 'down' for me too. Message was Internet Explorer cannot connect.....

Had to go away and eat chocolate to cope with the withdrawal symptoms

StealthPolarBear · 17/05/2009 15:36

I haven't been sent to bed for at least 15 years

Tulia · 17/05/2009 15:41

i kept getting the 'oops link is broken' message too
glad its not just me, i couldnt get on on the laptop at all so am doing this on phone now
hence my rubbishy typing!

still glad its not just me, thought id been thrown out!

ClaireDeLoon · 17/05/2009 16:06

I got the 'go to bed' message too was very frustrating as I was trying find the cupcake recipe someone had given me earlier this week

EachPeachPearMum · 17/05/2009 21:02

MerlinsBeard · 17/05/2009 23:21

Hello - and sorry to everyone who's been forced into dusting this morning!

YetMoreTech is at the data centre as we speak, bodging a fix with sticky tape pulling together some whizzy way to sort out the problem.
