Thread Name: Tech: Error 503 Service Unavailable
Subject: RE: Tech: Error 503 Service Unavailable
Most of the recent messages I've gotten have said "the server has been placed offline by the operator." The offline incidents have been very brief, and would be consistent with what I'd expect if "the operator" just needed to copy a new (edited?) file to the server drive(s) or extract one to work on offline.

I just assumed somebody was doing maintenance and/or working at fixing some of the remaining bugs from the last big 'n.

In a couple of incidents when I did NOT get an error message, the front page failed to load all the little bits and pieces, but after the next interruption everything was back to normal.

Of course, the "incidents" always seem to happen when I hit "Submit;" and of course "Back" doesn't work when the server is shut down; but I try to avoid taking it personally....
