Apologies for the site being off

[Mike]

An error in a configuration file effectively hid the site.. oops! Not my fault - honest.

Looks like a bug in the setup of part of the server control panel which the hosting provider is now looking at.

It still isn't working for everyone @Mike , Cortrasna tried a few minutes ago and couldn't get on.

Very odd, I can't get on from my laptop but can on my phone (which I'm avoiding using as it's stopped taking charge)

 

[carthorse]

I'm on a laptop.

I've just literally tried on my tablet and still can't get on. Couldn't at about 3pm. Thought it might be me so I've just tried from my phone no probs and I didn't have to log in but I might not have logged out yesterday from my phone to be honest.
Strange I'll try clearing cookies on the tablet if I cant get on shortly.

It may take a while for the fixed information to propagate around the internet.

 

[chunky monkey]

Its ok for me now on the tablet. Thankyou

 

[Jessey]

I'm in on my laptop now, thanks @Mike

I dont have any details of other members to contact if the sites down. Ironically i was thinking how can i find out if its just me.
You know your addicted when you stress about not getting on to the site.

I'm the other way round. Glad it's the site though as my BT emails have stopped working on my phone too, I thought there was something wrong with it.

I had withdrawal symptoms, I’m not kidding, I kept thinking, ‘ oh no, how can I go to the coffee shop for a chat and catch up with everyone and make sure everyone is doing ok today’ glad it’s sorted now, thanks @Mike im not sure what I’d do without NR just now.

 

[diplomaticandtactful]

got on now thank you

 

[Trewsers]

Yaye back on today!! Thanks mike.

 

[horseandgoatmom]

I missed it too...
So glad its back.

I've finally got back in! I coud log in but not post and a message at the top said my email was invalid. I tried to reset it but couldn't because it said a password wasn't set, and it wouldn't send me a password reset because my email was invalid (it wasn't). I log in via FB which I think complicated things further. I had to logout, change my FB password and that seemed to kick it into life. I then had to retyoe my email into NR and set up a NR password and then reactivate my account

Mine was just something about an insecure connection.

newrider.com was pointing to somewhere other than the server it runs on. The SSL license check would then see a different destination to what is was expecting and throw the insecure warning. There was nothing fishy going on but a program that should set up a cache to speed up some aspects of the site only did half a job and moved some parts of the site settings without the other half.
