Same for me. They are either updating the site and things went wrong, or there is a problem with their hosting supplier.

It is up again.

I have raised a call with the hosting company. I would have done so sooner, but have been away this weekend.

They have just done some migration work, so it's possible that's behind the inability to connect to the database, but I'll wait for their reply before jumping to any conclusions. In the meantime, rest assured that everything is backed up securely.

Blimey - that was quick! I only raised the call a few minutes ago... I'll wait for them to update the call before assuming it's properly back, but hopefully it was a very simple fix for them.

Apparently "The issue was identified as being related to PHP inheritance behavior."

Honestly not sure what this means in this context, but both the forum and separate gallery software are now working again.

Thanks all,
