    So did I but I think Neil or Steven has posted before that the Forum is backed up at 6am each morning which cause that message to appear. I might be wrong though as I have been before.

    From Neil,

    There is major backup of the forums at around 6:00 am each day and again in the wee small hours, there are also small backups run at intivals throughout the day. Most of the backups run without a problem. The 6:00 am one does shut things down a little for up to 5 minutes

    22 & 33 seem a little longer than 5 minutes.

    Back up used to run at around 6:00 am in actual fact now runs closer to 6:20 am and can slow things down or cause a busy server problem anywhere between 06:17 to 06:23.

    There is also a heap of mail-outs, updates, etc at midnight, that sometimes slows things down for a few minutes and a full server backup at somewhere around 03:00 and another at somewhere around 05:00 not 100% sure of the exact times of the last 2.

    There is a heap of stuff on here and our servers and backups need to be done on a regular basis. We have tried to make it so they won't be too disruptive to members/users but in all honesty it doesn't matter what time we do them there will always be at least a small number of users or guests who will have a problem.

    The average downtime we've had in the last 12 mths is 3 minutes, occasionally if the servers are really busy it could balloon out to 5 minutes and if it is any more than that you can bet your life there is a major problem that needs a fix or the hard-drives at the server have died.

    Hope this explanation sheds a little more light on the problem.

    Easiest fix for this is.... So stay in bed for an extra 5 minutes or get up an hour earlier.

    Cheers - Neil

    I'm in the UK at present so 6:20am in Oz is 9:20pm here in Little Plumstead, Norfolk.

    It only happened the once & I went away & did something else & came back 10 minutes later.
