Hi guys
Site went down earlier today because a service password had expired and killed some things. The password should never have expired.
I need to restart the servers to make sure they're all healthy again, but I'm going to take the opportunity to also install updates and patches.

This will result in the site going offline sometimes for maybe a few seconds to a few minutes.

Please just copy any message BEFORE you post it. If posting fails, you can always paste your message again when the site comes back up.

I will remove the red warning at the top of the site ONLY when EVERYTHING has finished updating. Until that message stops popping up (on every page change) you should assume the site could go down momentarily at any time of the day.

Thanks for your understanding
-Matt

Hi mate
You highlight your text (CTRL+A) and copy (CTRL+C).
Then if it doesn't post, refresh your screen after a few seconds and make sure the site is working.
If it is, paste the text back into the box and repost it (CTRL+V).

Keys for phones, Apple Macs etc you'll have to find out yourself, sorry. These are the standard keys for PCs

Matt, for phone users they just press on the text box (the one I'm typing this in) and the words cut, copy, paste,and select all, should appear.

Choose 'select all' and then choose 'copy' and then refresh the page or close it and reopen it , then press 'paste' into the text box.

Once you've copied the text it will be there until you copy something else.

Hope that helps.

Yea that's what I also do but I dunno if it's the same for all phones. Apple always do things differently lol
