Looks like we might have been down for around 12 to 15 hours. Can't be sure as I haven't been to the site since earlier on Thursday. We have been experiencing some odd problems with the server lately and I have no explanation at this time. In particular our email server has been acting up which means notifications and new member messages might have been delayed or even completely skipped. I am working with tech support and hope to have a resolution soon. We may be rebooting frequently over the next few days.

Nothing has been changed on the server so this is definitely a mystery and could be the result of a malicious user or someone outside the community. Both have been the case in the past.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused anyone. This is not related to the 'missing login box' issue from a few days back. That was purely an article formatting problem.

Thanks for your support and patience.

Todd

You know, besides N Scale itself, it wouldn't surprise me if this is one other thing we all have in common! Wink

Talking about down time..

   Down time now happens to be a fact of life regardless of what type of job / position you're in. I think the best example now would be the rising prices and it's not just $ of gasoline , to fuel our hobby...

Good response

Problems will always come up, nobody can avoid encountering some, what is really important is how you handle and overcome, congratulations on a job well done.

P.S. Just trash the culprits, if you can ever find them
