    And we're back.... I was getting very twitchy.

    As the failing URL was an install PHP page, I'm going to assume there was a PHP failure of some sort.

    I can only assume that my Rolex stats (on another thread) broke the server. Thank goodness it's back, my manager was starting to be impressed.

    Thanks Eddie. Thought it was probably a mysql problem.

    Just echoing the scary times and, importantly, the grateful thanks to Eddie for keeping things running.

    I had paid for a watch from SC in the morning and then everything went dark.

    Lesson learnt on my part to request contact details from seller before I pay up next time!

    I was fearing the end of TZ when it was down…got me wondering, where would most of us congregate if it did go? (Hopefully around for another 12 years I’ve been a member).
    Had me panicked that’s for sure!

    I had the same thought also. Slim pickings.

    Glad this it's back up and running, and long may it continue.

    I would imagine someone would setup a TZ group on Facebook or something along those lines.

    So what just happened?

    Imagine having been mid purchase on an item & not having exchanged phone numbers!

    Glad we are all back!

    Feel I need to play catchup as not been on, but then neither has anyone else.

    I dare say a few employers saw their productivity rise when workers actually do some work.

    This is true but you’re describing about 60% of middle and senior management.

    I nearly went on WUS but didn't. I don't think I'd have been able to live with the shame...

    I mostly lurk here but have been at it for several years, and like others was a bit rattled by thought that the TZ-UK may have come to an end. I am a Yank to boot, so being a member is a special privilege.

    This has reminded me to chip in to the fundraiser. I believe this is the link, if you’d like to join me:

    https://www.justgiving.com/team/tz-uk

    Thanks, Eddie.

    I did have other distractions while TZ was down as we are staying in Murcia at our friends, it’s nice and warm and enjoying a few beers around the pool, should I have been at home it would have been a different story.

    Indeed....but sometimes needs must.

    You can setup a private invitation only group on that platform "in case of emergency" ;-)

    What bit about Facebook do you think is private? It's a data-harvesting company.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Ah, the old SQL/ DBA problem. Not as bad and the FGU and JMZ problem, of course. And don’t get me started on the TJU and PTS problem.

    It was a bit disconcerting.
    Cheers,
