When I tried to look at it last night (PST wise), it was offline. When I opened a thread just now I got a 502 error but it came back once I refreshed the page. So SOMETHING is going on but it seems to be inconsistent.

I'm having those issues too. And when I can get into a thread, the format is suddenly different.

I'm guessing someone forgot to feed the IT gnomes. It happens...
If you want to help feeding them, give them a glass of milk. There's usually a useful slot in the side / back of your computer or in the bottom of your phone you can use for this. If you don't see one, remove a mouse or USB drive from your computer. There is usually a symbol with a dot and an arrow going out of it near the appropriate slot (which indicates moving the milk to the IT gnome).
Of course, you can feed them something more substantial as well, but that's usualy a bit trickier, since CD-rom drives are become more rare these days. But if you have one, they're ideal for slices of bread or other assorted soft food-stuffs.

So who's going to sacrifice their computer to feed the IT gnomes?
I mean, IT gnomes might like milk and slices of bread, but computers get digestive issues from that sort of thing. You know how computers have lactose intolerance and celiac disease....

If you really want to get on their good side, feed them chocolate chip cookies. (I found a short documentary on it here: People who know nothing about computers - Clearing Cookies - YouTube)
Well, this is the "Ask the staff" forum. Maybe we should ask them to take one for the team
(though they're probably already annoyed at us for clogging up this forum and all the email notifications they get when someone posts here. Sorry...).
Hey all. I don't really know what happened as Black Dragon is Administrator and handles these issues. But based on how inconsistent it was, my guess is that it was a server issue coming from our forum software provider. I think it's safe for the time being to assume that it's been resolved.

Told you computers have celiac disease! Those obviously were not gluten free cookies. That's why they were rejected.

Good point.
I do have a gluten free orange cake recipe somewhere. Do you think that will work? It's a lot softer than cookies, which probably makes it easier to stuff it into a computer as well.

Why don't you try it and find out?
