Yes I'm sorry about this - completely my fault. The site was unavailable for about 12 hours. I quickly remedied the problem but was out for most of that time myself so only discovered the situation when I got back at midnight

Apologies again!
Ian
I think it's your fault that it's running again, thanks for burning the midnight oil in putting it right - along with all the other work you do that keeps the forum running as an interesting distraction!
Re John Heating etc comment, I could not read the warnings as the forum was down, and when it returned there was no advanced warning of yesterdays outage 'cos it was not planned.
No one has commented on the slow down in activity in the other forums I mentioned.
Oh and Thanks to Ian for putting it all back together again.
No need for an apology Ian, we all leave things unplugged occasionally
John
That reminds me of an event in our old (very old) datacentre where things were not hard wired in and in specific cabinets with their own duplicate power supplies
As the calls flooded in our manager looked around to see the sight of a cleaner just plugging back in a critical component of the server (external disks) which had been put into a spare 13 Amp 3 pin socket.
The next weekend the facilities guys fitted much a more appropriate solution
Oh.. and the cleaners were banned when not supervised

Andy

That's a familiar enough story. In years past our cleaners had learnt to NEVER unplug anything, but they still managed to cause issues by plugging into smoothed UPS sockets rather than straight mains ones. Electrical noise from a vacuum cleaner could cause havoc with some of our instruments. Now the cleaners don't vacuum the lab at all - just sweep the floors, we do our own vacuuming (on a rather infrequent basis).
I'd like to do away with the 13A plugs on most of our kit, instead having hardwired spurs to an IEC plug (like many kettles have). This would do away with the need for annual PAT testing of kit that isn't moved around!
I could not access the forum yesterday - was this just me or was it out for all users.
While hunting around for clues I looked at the Four Thirds User forum and it did not appear to be very active and DPNow seemed very quiet as well.
Is it a time of the year issue or am just out of touch?
DPNow has a new magazine look which is, under the skin, much more modern than before. It's now fully compliant with small screen devices and is much easier to compile and publish articles with. Today's first article is here, for example:
So I'm steadily ramping up again. The finishing touch will be more unique articles rather then plain news. Like here, the forum needs a radical update. On FTU the magazine section will be modernised like DPNow, and of course the forum too.
Once the magazine sections are running optimally we can start drawing in interested readers and revitalise activity on the forums.
No lasting problems Ian, thank you for restoring it when you did. Wasn't it BA that had some problems recently with someone turing some things off and on in the wrong order?
