    Did we really have a "click here" how absurd - we have a standard outage page that obviously wasnt on. I wasnt in the office but will be ask about it

    It did have a message telling us that the forum was closed until 5:30 too Martin.

    The click here was just above the message, but took you straight back to original forum closed page.

    HTH :)

    Yup, just above the 'forum closed' message was something along the lines of "The forum will be closed from 4:30, click here for more info".

    Also there was initially no info about how long the outage would be in the main forum closed message until it over ran the planned half hour (not that you could find out it was only planned for half an hour with the only info being on the then closed forum). After 5pm it DID change to "...should reopen about 5:30"

    I don't mean to come across as over critical, just thought it was something that could be addressed for any future outages :)
