You may have noticed this week the forums have been down occasionally. @malemhas identified the issue in the SQL database and plans to apply a fix tonight. Hopefully that resolves the issues we have been seeing this week. 

Thanks for your patients as we identify the problem and apply the fix.

Just FYI the issue is still happening.

We are hoping to be good now. Thanks to @malem he found the SQL issue last night and upgraded the forums to the current version while he was at it.

I didn't give anyone any of my patients.  But I thank you for your patience as I quote your grammatical error that gave me a HUGE  chuckle as a medical professional this afternoon.  (I make many errors too, I'm not being the grammar police, I just took this mishap as hilarious!)

Thanks @malem!

Was there an outage this morning? I couldn't access the forum at all.

Cloudfare was down, so this site was probably a victim.

Yeah, server was tired. Took a nap today.

Did the website go down yesterday? I wasn't able to reach it, but that might be due to some of the quirks of my Wi-Fi system and I'd like to make sure which issue it might've been.

Yeah, it went down yesterday, most of the day I think until around 10 is when I got back on and noticed it was up. 

Yes, @malem was able to find the cause on the back end and get that fixed. After applying updates, instead of rebooting and coming back up it was just shutting off. 

We are going to work on getting the forums and database updated in the coming days.

Is the site made by Intamin or something?...jk it just feels like every couple of days the site crashes lol

@malem is working on it. We are now sure why the server keeps doing this. 

Why was the site down all day yesterday?

There is an issue with the server freezing and we have to restart it and seems to happen randomly. The server was down for about 3 hours yesterday. I am waiting on Malem to address it, but there is also a new version of the forums that @Dane purchased so we need to build a new server anyway. My plan is to migrate over to the new server once it is built and setup. Hopefully that will take care of the outages we have been seeing. We are subject to Malem's availability to get it ready for us.  

Thank you all for working on it!
