Downtime report: April 17, 20 Put an end to popups!

If you didnt notice we were off the air for almost 4 hours.

The reason was that Settler suffered a hardware failure. The problem was indentified and corrected (with a replacement) by our server provider.

No loss of data occured.

Apologies for the lack of service during this downtime.

--

April 20:

Settler was offline for a bit over 2 hours. Source not determined, no loss of data

--

April 21:

At around 12:30 Apolyton time you might have noticed a slowdown that lasted for over 20 minutes. it was caused by tests running on our server to determine possible hardware failure


thank you for your patience

Hehe last time 'Poly was down I had just finished reinstalling Windows, and was still setting up my network. Everything was correctly configured, but the site didn't work. It was about 30 minutes of head-scratching before I thought to check another site.

Could this crash have anything to do with my not getting some thread updated e-mails?

I just don't understand why I've missed some.

It's just tracking down the various threads that I may not look at until I realize I miss them... and then be too late to really add anything to the conversation.

Well 'my threads' still works even when the emails stop being sent. That is my fall-back.

I usually use them... but with as many threads as I sub to, I think I can have a second, maybe third page of unread threads sometimes... I know I get around 45 new messages in my inbox just dedicated to 'poly of unique threads through a weekend.
