202027 2003-12-22 09:41:00 Laura, I am so glad I wasn't the only one who really missed her fix. LOL This is how I learn to fix things on my puter, by reading about everyone elses headaches, then when it comes up on my puter, then I know, well sometimes, how to fix it. supergran (108)

And I suspect there were a few "fixers" cursing their junk?

i think it may have got the Christmas bug and gone shopping.....

like me i actually started the xmas shop today, and also finished it today...... :D as had time up my sleeve due to pf1 being down,
spare time is not usuall round here lately.

and realise how much i hate shopping for xmas.....put it off as long as possible....

and yes its a major pain when PF1 is down, tis as bad as having the phone cut off or something, you just cant talk or hear from anybody family wise, the PF family i mean.....

there will be an answer, we just may not want to hear it, or beleive it...
but i am glad it is back on air.

202030 2003-12-22 10:08:00 Well folks, the IDG office is closed till Jan 7, so I'm not there, I'm on holiday. The IT folks are there doing work on infrastructure stuff while eveyone is away so they aren't exactly keeping an eye on site status. I didn't see that F1 was down till after 4pm an alerted them then. Jim's succinct reply was that it "ran outta space".

Problem sorted now. Apologies for the outage.

202031 2003-12-22 10:10:00 Probably the usual "someone tripped over the network cable" story :p

And what with a Xmas party, no one at IDG would've noticed ;) :D

202032 2003-12-22 10:12:00 Nope, there's the real reason.

*Hopes everyone knew my post was a joke and that, AFAIK, there was no Xmas party*

202033 2003-12-22 10:13:00 Well thanks anyway bruce for getting it up as soon as possible. hazza (2704)
202034 2003-12-22 10:17:00 Since my last post, I've done some research. As a newb, it seemed only fair....
It shows me that PF1 has not only gone down before on occasions, accompanied by moans & groans (Yes, stu140103 I took your advice) but other people have mentioned " fixes" also. Supergran & I are not alone.

It's even been suggested that some may have turned to drink when it happened last Easter....

As to that, my lips are sealed. Only a search of the archives will tell the truth....

My immediate question isn't WHAT happened (The rest of you will nag for that answer) but more curiosity about how some people did manage to post in what seems to be a window of opportunity between 12.27pm (Greg S) and 1.29p.m. (Peter H).

All I noticed today was the screen had changed from a basic black/white error message notice to a bigger one with a pretty blue background. Thought something must be happening then, but what...?

Yes, an explanation would be nice.

202035 2003-12-22 10:26:00 Bruce replied while I was typing. That is the official explanation, it seems. Laura (43)
202036 2003-12-22 10:26:00 I was too busy making the Xmas Haggis to notice that it was out.

Oh and enjoying the tantastic Dunedin weather
