Hi all,

As you can see, the site is back online. In order to keep it that way, please be patient while pages load. When many people are trying to access the site at the same time, pages may take longer than usual to load. Please do *not* keep refreshing the page; it will load eventually! Constant refreshing by so many people causes undue stress on the site (not to mention the site admin!) so please be patient. There's plenty of time to finish the
contest. Smile

Thanks for your patience,
xyphic

Hi all,

With the imminent release of Paul Trigger's latest case, I would again like to ask that you be patient with the site at the time of launch. In particular, please do not keep refreshing the page - that was the cause of all our problems last time, and I'm sure none of us would like the site to disappear again!

The contest will be made live at 9pm - if you refresh the content page a few minutes after the launch, you'll be guaranteed to see the contest and we'll (hopefully) have a trouble-free launch.

Thanks for listening,
xyphic

Hi all

I understand that the site was down for a while yesterday (although I wasn't around to witness it, I'm afraid). Many apologies for any frustration this caused. It looks as though our service provider was having problems and that we were a knock on effect of this.

All

I'm afraid I've just had to do perform a database restoration. This means that any changes made to the forum or contest progress between 3:48am UTC on March 18th and just now (~10:40am UTC March 19th) will have been lost. My sincere apologies for this. I'm only aware of one forum post from janet (which I have copied and will PM to you, janet) but I don't know about PMs or answers entered.

Once again, many apologies. Embarassed
