NGRM-Online Down!

[MickT]

Withdrawal symptoms today! Is it just me, or is anyone else suffering from a login error message that has come up saying that NGRM is not accessible at present? If so, does anyone know what is up?

This is the message that comes up when attempting to access:

"We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now.

Access denied for user 'ngrmecom_invis'@'localhost' to database 'ngrmecom_invisionpb'"

Same for me Mick,

Yes, same here. Interrupted my early morning coffee routine this morning!

[MickT]

I alerted Matt Chivers and he has just replied - the hosting company are transferring servers.

No need to join the queue at the Samaritans - yet!

Well at least that is 3 of us (4 including Matt) who are aware, the rest of the 2½ thousand members will just have to find out for themselves!

Ah - I should have logged in here first!
I may have to go and do some real stuff.....
Or maybe just put the kettle on.

[David Weber]

Glad to hear it's a server-side problem as I've been having a lot of trouble with my internet connection lately so thought the issue might have been at my end..........

It went down at 1.35am this morning.

Being a night owl you can guess how I know the exact time. There I was reading a posting when the screen changed to the message others have seen.

Didn't get my usual evening browse, at least I know I can catch up later. Wasn't too concerned as internet here is erratic, though I could access other places. Will just possess my soul in patience.

Still down...

Might actually get some model making done! ;)

[Graeme Dunbar]

Curtailing time spent on it is one thing but going cold turkey like this is something else! I've sunk to looking to see if there are any 009 postings on the AnyRail forum!

[Melanie Lewis]

I just had to create a new password for here because I couldn't remember my old one and I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. I had to go out in the real world yesterday!

[Kevin Martin]

So this is where you're all hiding :)

It seems from the tone of some of the posts there that other people who frequent NGRM Online are suffering and it is making them tetchy.  ;D

More helpfully, someone there posted a link to a post by Matt Chivers himself on the NGRM Offline Facebook page:

"Sorry that you can't access the forum, the hosting company has been merged into another company and they have changed servers. I'm currently sat in a field, having a holiday far away from my laptop, so I can't see what's going on."

Not only has the NGRM site been down over the weekend but the Dorset Libraries website has been suffering from overload and has gone down, too. I'd hoped to catch up with the Railway Magazine and ComputerActive. Double frustration!
