You guys are probably aware of this but the site appears to not be available after midnight for the last 2 nights.

I have had "site not replying" notifications up until about 8:30AM the last two days - I need my H&V fix in a morning!!!!

Same here.

My normal morning routine after arriving in the office is.....

Check my personal email
Check ESPN.com
Check Wikipedia death notices
Check H&V
Maybe think about doing some work

I've been swearing a blue streak at the iPad. Time to apologise, apparently.

On a positive note I have caught up with Twitter.

It's not the same, though.

Martin, what is the URL for the second (back-up) site we have for times like this so I can stick it on our FB Page?

I will need to shut down the forum a while probably after 10pm tonight for a few minutes. l will also need to shut everything down a couple of times during the night.

I will then need to monitor the server after midnight just to see if all is okay, so you night owls will have some disruption.

With respect to all members; I think this problem highlights the need for those that can afford to do so, donate to the upkeep of the site.  I obtain a great deal of pleasure (and annoyance  ;)) from it and have learned from other peoples' opinions that there are alternatives to my thinking that had never occurred to me before. 

Well done to all concerned and, thank you.

Agreed Dave.  Without this site I am sure the mental health bill of the NHS would go sky high!

Yes, well said Dave, and Fred, and many thanks to Martin for all your work 'behind the scenes'.
