Temporary Site Outage

Post by DrSpooky »

To anyone who has tried to log on in the last 12 hours or so, we experienced an ice storm here in Huntsville and we have just now received power again. We're all trying to get warm here as the temperature in the house dropped considerably.

The site should now be back to normal. No worries. :)

I will just reuse this thread. :)

There is an update to phpbb2 and I want to get it installed ASAP. I will be taking the site up and down until the upgrade is finished.

Well that was definitely pretty temporary. I wish all upgrades were that easy. :)

If anyone sees a problem or any oddity, please ping me or MrsS.

Of course, within 12 hours of Spooky and I being alone in Michigan, Huntsville had just enough of a storm to knock power off long enough to turn off the site.

Our daughter rebooted this morning and all should be OK. Hopefully no one will notice much other than the downtime.

We had a temporary power outage this morning in our neighborhood and, as you guys know, when we don't have power, there's no site.

Anyhoo, all is back to normal now. :)

Just letting you guys know that we are experiencing one tough storm here in little old Huntsville right now, so remember - the hosting computer is in our home so if we lose power, the site goes down. Just reminding you guys so you don't worry if it isn't there for a short time. :)

Sorry about that last outage, guys. If you can believe this, we had a cable guy come out to change a cord on our DVR and he messed up the internet. He freaked out and left and called his supervisor to come fix it for him.

He had left two different things unplugged. That was all.

Anyhow, sorry for the down time.

Didn't even notice. I have a Dieter or Horst or something who is about to take his typically German six weeks off at Christmas and needed a press release yesterday. Thanks for the notice pal - not like anyone else has things going on this time of year.
