Sorry for the interruption to service. There was a failure at FutureQuest which meant everything was down everywhere on their sites/domains. Hope this is all now secured.

All's well, and with no time for withdrawal symptoms to take hold. Strange that r3ok chose the same time to fall over for a while.Originally posted by french frank View PostComment

It looks as if people were also mailing to the default link to the 'administrators' which was given on the error page. Unfortunately, this just went through Mark's for3.org email address, which was down with everything else - I had notification of 328 error messages this morning - so no doubt Mark will also have them when he gets up in California (I don't think there were 328 people trying to make contact, but the system kept trying to deliver the same ones.
Fingers crossed, all should be well now.
Facebook posts should have been fine. Unfortunately, as it was fairly late and I'd received no notification of the post because … blah blah, I went to bed without checking Facebook

Yep, I tried Admin as well and was given a Mailer-Daemon shut out.
Thx to all for speedy restoration.Last edited by DracoM; 14-11-18, 13:44.Comment

I think this was a major event which affected the entire domain and which attracted multiple notifications to FutureQuest, our web hosting service. In the circumstances, they probably worked very hard to locate the source of the error.Originally posted by DracoM View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

I had just installed an OS update on my laptop then tried to look at the forum and got the "database error" message so I assumed it was something to do with the software update!Comment

Bad luck!Originally posted by hmvman View Post Hope everything is working normally now. I have three for3 email addresses and they weren't working straight away. Everything back to normal this morning, though.

Isn’t ‘outage’ another of those ‘orrible 21st century words? Is it followed by an ‘inage’ after it has been sorted?Comment

Would you prefer 'downtime', the opposite of which is 'uptime'?Originally posted by cloughie View Post
