Default Forum outage

I believe there was a brief problem with the server and thus this forum between 14:35 and 14:50 approx. I am checking with the hosting company to find out what happened, although everything seems fine again now.

I thought it started a little earlier around 1430.

I thought that might have been the case, as I was getting timeouts trying to access the second page of unread posts, but it seems fine now from this end as well.

It may well have started a bit earlier. My times are based on the Pingdom reports so only accurate to within 5 minutes.

The hosting company said:

Quote:
The server on which your service is located suffered from a hardware failure.

This failure had the unfortunate effect of crashing the server.

We have replaced the faulty component and the server is up and operational once more.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.
Replacing a hardware component and getting it back up and running within 15-20 mins is good going!
