Downtime Today (2024-08-19)

Hi all - apologies for the downtime today.

I was moving the forum to another server with higher specifications (including more storage) and things ended up taking just slightly longer than anticipated...

The good news is that we’re now running the forum using Docker. This should significantly improve stability and make it much easier to move between physical servers in the future with minimal downtime. It also means that, as the forum is isolated from the host system, things like system updates shouldn't affect the forum going forward (we've had this a couple of times in the past), and it also improves security as it's effectively sandboxed. Hopefully, this means we won’t run into similar issues again.

As always, if you encounter any problems or notice anything unusual, please do let me know and I'll get on it as soon as possible.

Indeed - it appears to be intermittent.

I've just made a change now that attempts to address this but as it's intermittent I am relying to an extent on user reports to find out if it's still affecting anyone, so as always do let me know.
 
I have had trouble previously but the site message was that they were too large so I retook them at a great distance and cropped. I was then able to post them. I was not aware of members problems until today.
