    Yes same for me. I thought it was my internet! I have tried all sorts; clearing cookies, and rebooting etc, but no. :(

    It's getting so annoying now, that I will probably sign off for the night soon.
    cooeeeeeeeee :j :wave:

    Looks like we've upset some spammers again.

    We had this with the DDOS 'thing'.

    The website might be being targeted by villains.

    An odd night on the site. 'Kicked out' more than once. Then unable to access the site at all for a couple of hours. I wonder if this post will even work...






    Edited to add - it worked! But the site 'whirred and whirled' for a while before it let me edit the post to say that!

    site offline for about two and a half hours, judging by the new posts search

    and some of the time it is in its old habit of serving blank pages, which has been happening for 2 or 3 days

    Glad it wasn't just me.
    When people ask stupid questions, I feel obliged to give sarcastic answers.

    Feels like we are in that episode from Cheers where Joey upset the writers and they kicked him down a lift shaft.

    Who was ragging the Tech guys yesterday?
    They may have put a glitch in the system and gone home for the weekend.
