    UCP has been dodgy lately

    The past week or so UCP will not load at times....giving the usual 'site is unavailable' messages.

    Unique to my area?

    no it's not unique to you. I still get txt messages when there's server issues, and since I know Wouter is currently on the road, I reset the server about 20min ago. The longest delay should only be 5-10max, as long as I'm near a computer when errors occur as well.

    sorry for the inconvenience...........

    No, it's not you either. That's okay, I spend more time here than I should anyway.

    Are you suggesting that you would rather spend your excess time somewhere else?

    This site was out for me all morning today. Happened a few times before, but then almost all other websites I've been to have their downtimes... so this doesn't bother me much.

    Apologies for the inconvenience. The server seems to react quite fiercely to my absence. Every time I go away, it seems to start acting up. I'm back now and will keep a close eye on things.

    A big thanks to Rob also for bringing it back!
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    I am working on it. It looks like someone is sending a ridiculous amount of requests to the server ...

    I'm not having any problems. But I have come across this issue a couple of times.
