Site outages: Sunday 28th Sept and Monday 30th Sept

[Syphon]

Hi all, I just discovered we had been down for a while today. Sorry about that.

All should be back up and running now. Hopefully, you didn't miss out too much on your SEAT / CUPRA Fix!

Thanks

The only alternative platform I know Scott uses was YouTube and I dropped a comment on the latest video there, hoping he might get a notification in YouTube app or as an e-mail

Cheers guys, well I have monitoring set up which failed to alert me and I'm normally on a couple of times a day at least but this time was busy and it was down for 16 hours which is rubbish!

Thankfully our new host (soon to be migrated) was in the process of setting up his own monitoring last night and noticed it was down so messaged me straight away.

Thankfully he tweaked what needed to be done to get it back up asap. It was a stupid security certificate error which could have been avoided, so sorry about that again.

OK we've just had another outage so that's the final straw for our previous host. We were holding fire on our migration to the new server until the work on staging had been done to the upgrade, but thanks to some swift short notice work from our new host and support we're on a shiny new dedicated more powerful server and I have to say it already feels a lot more snappy. Sorry for the outage again. Just some issues with the news and review part of the site at the moment but hopefully will be back soon.

Woop woop!!

All services should be back to normal now. Upgrade to the software still being worked on and tested with some new graphics, so watch this space.

 

[Seriously?]

Thanks for all your efforts with the back-office stuff.
Given that the forum is now remapped, with bigger turbo and intercooler, can we expect an addition of some go faster stripes and maybe a furry dice hanging from the RVM ?

Thanks, yeah that's good thinking!
