Apologies for the lack of working forums - we have had a database issue that meant no queries were being returned. We have cleared up the blockage and are monitoring it at the moment to see what the cause was.

Couldn't access it for most of the day, that was a painful experience.
At last, it appears to be up and running properly.

Who do I pester for a refund? hehe
