entire site down?
 

Was the entire FT site down this am, 11/14/05 from about 00:00 to 06:30 PST?

I couldn't access from anywhere, europe, US, multiple internet providors.

Yes, been down for a day or so.

Is my imagination or are weekends more prone to the site being down?

And boy am I glad that its back up :) I hate going through withdrawl ;)

I was suffering withdrawal!

Why did the site go down, and for so long? I thought hosting services typically monitor for trouble, and dispatch crews around the clock to fix problems?

Perhaps the forum maintenance slated for 11/12 turned up new issues that required the entire site to be taken down?

Could be! If it was, let's hope yesterday was the last of it, I hadn't realized how addicted I was to FT until then :D

Hopefully there will soon be a description of what happened :)

By the way: The search tool seems to be timing out on me when I search within the "Credit Card" forum :confused:
Follow-up: Seems to be back up now, just really slow :(

Tells you how addicted all of us are ! :D

The database seems to have been repaired, as posts since Oct 17th are now searchable, so it's all for a good cause!

I sort of liked FT-Free Sunday. I read all of the NY Times (including last week's Book Review section) LA Times, finished reading new Scott Thurow novel and cooked a proper Sunday dinner.

FT seems rather slow right now

:confused:

Don't get used to the time off ;)

I'm not having any problems with speed right now...and I noticed that my search seemed to return results much faster since the 'fix' happened!

Speed just improved, but it was dragging earlier on for me
