Hi everyone,
Things are being worked on as fast as possible, but it will take time I'm afraid. Some parts of the database appear to have been damaged during the outage the other day, and so everything needs to be checked and double checked, then fixed and checked again...not something that you want us to rush, I assure you!
Some members have reported that it is easier to connect with a VPN, set to a EU server. I am not sure why this would be the case, but certainly those in the EU are experiencing less disruption that those elsewhere in the world, so it is worth a try.
If you are able to connect, then please be aware that the site is very very slow, so if your page won't load, just go and make the tea, whilst it does it's circle of doom for a while.
There is no need to report any of these issues to us...we know!

Site Issues

As many of you will be aware, the site has had some issues over the past several days.

Repairs to the database are ongoing, but these things do take time. At times you may find it difficult to access the site, and at others it may be much slower than normal. RSS feeds are also likely to be affected.

We will update you as and when there is anything to tell, but until things are back to normal, please just be patient. We are aware of all the issues, so there is no need to contact us about them.

Regular updates are posted on the FaceBook page, as well as in our Discord chat room. If you have not yet joined the Discord chat, now would be a good time to do so!
