[MOD: The issue is known and a fix forthcoming]

For the second day in a row this forum hasn't been able to open. Tried both my laptop and my iPad. Is it just me?

Nope not just you. I noticed it too.
Yesterday I figured it was being updated, but two days in a row seems odd.

The last two day in the morning the forum website won't load. Tried on my laptop and my iPad and it's like the site doesn't exist. Then late in the morning it comes back on. Anyone else notice this?

I don’t get any insight into the development of the site, but have been told a couple times that downtime is usually when something’s being updated. There’s also a possibility that some new code added caused errors and it wasn’t immediately caught. Several times, I’ve had something work on a development instance and it didn’t work on production. Lastly, the server and/or VM that hosts this site could have went down (I doubt it was maintenance at that time of day).

First thing in the morning seems like a particularly bad time to shut down a popular forum for updates. I'm surprised there isn't anything in the Forum News section. None of the mods know what happened?

I’ve been having trouble too. Who’s the web admin around here?

Just speculating but could be any number of things, upgrade, DDOS, instability of the OS if hosted on windows :)

Either way definitely appreciate the mods, site manager(s) and sponsors who keep this a fantastic free resource for the community.

It’s the new Disinformation board or whatever it’s called….. shut it down to review all the long lead time reports to deliver trucks.
Did you see the crazy a$$ b!tc& in charge of this? What a psycho. Yikes…….😬
