So, I haven't visited since 03 June and I was looking forward to seeing what's new, I always use the iPad as it 'stars' all threads created/added to since my last visit.

Well, 3 minutes and three posts read and I get this:

That's a database connection error on the server, nothing to do with your crappy apple product.

Go to the bottom of the home page and you can get new posts from the last 72 hours.

Martin? Stan? It just happened AGAIN. The site was basically offline for ten minutes a little after 2300 GMT. Then all is good again. Doesn't make for a nice, relaxing catch up on the posts. Does this site run off one of the computers in a P38?

The P38 had computers? ( I don't remember them, even though I know they were there, somewhere)

The forum does get its knickers in a twist every now and then and throws up the critical database error, not just for Apple products either.

I reckon I must visit @ 5 times a day, and reckon on only seeing the error @ 3 times a year?

Martin might be able to produce some stats about uptime, which must be in the high 90%'s .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember
