So we were down for a bit this morning?

I'm not sure what's going on with our server - I'm hoping they're working on an update or something. Our forum software alerts me via email every time it can't connect to our server. Generally that's been few and far between. Recently however, it's been happening more and more frequently. Luckily it only lasts a few minutes each time.

I noticed that, too. Definitely an SMF issue, given the error messages that I got when tinkering with the different redirects.

Yeah--I noticed it down for at least an hour, but by the posting time stamp I'd say we were down an hour and a half.
And the. Again after I posted this for just a few minutes.

I've noticed it down a few times in the last few weeks.

It's not an SMF issue - that's our forum software - but a server issue (OLI). I contacted customer support at OLI and they responded within minutes. We've been emailing back and forth for the last 30 minutes or so. Here's the latest:

We pinpointed the site on the server that was under attack and causing the high traffic, and are working on a solution now so the server should go back to normal.
:heart: :heart: :heart: OLI!

Awesome!!
I wondered if it might have been a server attack-- the off-and-on thing, and seemed to be slow even when it was "on" there for quite a bit.
Wasn't sure if it was OLI or SMF-based, though-- hard to say from error messages (which were also intermittent).
Glad to know that wasn't software!!

I've had issues with the board being really slow today. Other sites have been working fine.

I got an IOS update, and since downloading the site is working fine.

The site was down for me for a while today.

Yes, was down at least an hour.

The site was down at the server level, so we suspect they may have been making sure there weren't any OpenSSL vulnerabilities.

^ I have been seeing the exact same thing for minutes-to-an-hour elsewhere on the web, so I suspect this is true-- it's SSL testing and patching.
