Alex knows about it

And It's fixed

Hooray .

I am back at work tomorrow and was concerned that I would have nothing to do.

And It's fixed

Yessssss :icon_biggrin:

Are we allowed to know what the problem was and how it was fixed and by whom? (presumably Alex)

Yipeeeeeee

Yipee! my seering loneliness has been solved

I was so worried i wouldnt see any of you again... and then i was relieved, and then i remember my beloved bippo and sacha and was slightly worried again

Well done whoever fixed it, was thinking I might have to make new friends elsewhere !!!

Hi guys, happy new year to you all, hope you had a good break.

Trust this to happen when I was on holiday, I even made sure every patch and update was setup before going away

Sorry it took a while to fix, I only got back from NZ yesterday, and I couldn't work out what the problem was and had to rely on external support.

We pay for a CDN service which speeds up the site by making pages load faster no matter where a user is. The site is cached on local servers around the world and when you request content the content is served from the nearest server so the data doesn't have to travel as far.

The CDN service keep copies of the static files, e.g. the CSS style sheets which are needed for the page styling.

But this service was suspended, the company providing it are no longer operating the product, which is why the pages were loading without styling as they couldn't be found.

Annoyingly I didn't get any emails to tell me in advance that their service would be abandoned, so I need to find a new service which is compatible.

I'm hoping for the majority of us that the page load time increase will be negligible, but let me know if you have any issues.

Cheers

Alex

Hmm is it still doing it? It's working fine here. I can only think this is a caching issue left over from the CDN.

Only thing I lost was my av picture,,sure its not to do with the server being downed by the storms or did they just drop service to this site?

You shouldn't have lost your av picture, I'll run a recache of all the images now and hopefully that'll fix it.

I've rebuilt all profile images, and yours still doesn't appear I"m afraid. You'll need to upload it again, I'm not sure what has caused this. Sorry.

Hurrah, all is working again!!

Many thanks Alex
