You can test, test, test, and then still implement and have unforseen issues, possibly out of your control. Not all changes are easy to back out.

All the best websites have experienced extended downtimes. Depends on loss of revenue on how much resources you put towards a fix.... in this case.... the loss of revenue isn't huge so I doubt FT would spend what someone like Amazon.com would spend to get things up and running again.

Don't just assume the guys behind FT are a bunch of cowboys with no testing or change control skills. They provide this site at no cost to you... so do you really want to badmouth them?
Well said

Speaking of which...other forums (provided as "freebies") have a mechanism for donations...is there one here?

All the best, James

Sorry - it appears there are problems of which I suspect you are fully aware of. In case it matters, as of 8:30 p.m. Pacific 12/20/05:

Only web1 is working for me, albeit slowly and most of the graphics don't download

TTT Dec 20, 2005 10:20 pm
I also am only able to pull up web1, but it loads normally with all graphics and rather quickly.

Web1 is working for me right now - isnt FT like a ghost town at the moment. Perhaps we should log off if it helps the techies fix the problem?

This explains why I thought I was all alone.

This is how I get in when the "www" approach is down. Thanks for the other options. :)

Flyertalk down for 14 hours?
 
I have the impression that FT was down for the last 14 hours - finally I can relax again!
