I guess that everyone else will know this:  everything has been 'up the creek' today.

Apologies for this. We've been implementing a rolling series of upgrades across the server farm today to migrate us onto a new SQL 2005 database cluster and unfortunately a key piece of the database envirnoment wasn't moved onto the cluster (the MSDTC service).

This has now been corrected and the forums seem to be operational again.

We've got some more work to do over the course of tomorrow (and possibly next week), so unfortunately some more downtime may be unavoidable.

However, once complete you should start to see some further performance improvements across both this site, and all other Archant websites.

Kind regards

Thanks for the info and warning Tim - pity I barely understood it!!!!   [:)]

Not a problem :)

Tim, will there be any corresponding improvement to the quality of the posts?

... it's probably safer if I don't comment!

Regardless of quality, posting should be quicker now though...
