    Seems OK for me now, but had probably half an hour of not being able to get on the site at all just now.

    It's been slow for the last few hours and appeared to be down for a good portion of half an hour. Possible server overload issues?

    Not something that I can answer; we'll need admin for that. I notified them but haven't received a response; I expect that we'll hear something in the morning or failing that, on Monday. You're correct that the site was completely down (you can check at a site such as http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.c...dentroom.co.uk). By my reckoning, the downtime was from 23:48 to 00:16.

    Yeah, me too. I've been trying for a while to get on here. It made me realise how much I depend on this website.

    Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for reporting the issues last night.

    Hope it was too much of an inconvenience for you.

    I was completely fast asleep whilst the issus were happening, but other people were looking in to it. The good news is, is that it seems it was not a problem with the site itself, but beyond that I'm still to sure exactly what the issue was.

    Hopefully all will be OK now and you won't have any interruptions using the site today, but do post up here if you do
