About 12ish to 1ish last night. The homepage would load but everything else was giving the 'oops' message. Also there's currently a weird gap at the top of main sub forums.

What he said - it was briefly down altogether according to that "down for me or everybody?" site, but just the forums were giving an oops from midnight until I gave up and went to bed at 1ish.

Our hosting company had a short maintenance window starting at 00:30 but the work took longer than expected, resulting in about an hour of downtime. Sorry frown

What do you mean about the gap though? Just a period of time with no posts, or something more sinister?

This is what I'm seeing and wasn't like this before:



Notice the gap between the main banner and the 'Start Topic' button.

It's only in General Gassing and Trackdays. If you turn your ad-blocker off you'll see that there is supposed to be an advert there smile

Ah I thought it may be something to do with that! Was just curious because the gap's never been there before. New adverts?

First time in GG, but they have been used in a lot of the other forums before.

Posting twice isn't the same as frequenting other forums/fora. wink
