Hi folks.
As you may have noticed, there was a problem with the site this morning.
What happened was the site's clock set itself to 18th December 2002.
There is a (something like 20 second) layoff so you cannot post another message right after the last.
As the date was 18th Dec, most people had already posted messages since then so could not post a new message as you would be doing so BEFORE your last messages.That's why the time layoff kicked in.
The shoutbox was out of action as messages are only kept up for a very limited time and when you posted a message it was automaticlly a month old
The PM service was still available, but your messages would date from 18th December so would not be at the top of the page.
I was trying various ways to let everyone know what was happening but thankfully the site clock corrected itself (?)
Luckily we seem to be back in buisness now
.
Thanks to Chris who helped me identify the problem (well actually told me what the problem was while I sat there screaming what's happening
)
Thank God for MSN
