Lost posts, site down etc.
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 1:21 pm
Following the recent Where are my posts? complaint, which turned out to be an error on our side, both mods and users have reported posts going astray. This is a separate issue and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. If you have experienced this, it would be helpful if you would report it here.
In particular, I'd like to know whether the post appeared online but then disappeared or just failed to appear.
I noticed earlier today, the website was inaccessible. This was caused by the host servers experiencing massive denial-of-service attacks. To counteract this, two new name servers have been added which should help resolve this issue over the next 48 hours. It seems likely that this may also have caused the failed postings.
