Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I got home from work and wanted to check the forum and AARRGGHHHH!!! it was down. Don't do that to me...I was about to suffer withdrawals.

LOL Debby---hoping it's back up and running properly now---it's been hit and miss most of the day

Ditto and likewise.

Me too !!

I'm hoping it stays back up too.

It seems we had some issues with the site overloading the hosting - the site just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

I think we should have it fixed and working now.

It wasn't working for me this morning!

I P/M'D Zookz and now it is! Funny thing was although I couldn't bring up the pages, I could see the 'New Posts' AND send Zookz a message!
Weird!

for Zookz! Thank you!!

Yep. I will 7th that . I have to have my "daily, pondering of what new questions, ideas or tips, that I might use or respond to," like our "stitchers own morning or evening newspaper, while I am having my morning, mid-day or evening .

HAPPY STITCHING IN STITCHING LAND.

Same thing for me and what was also weird was that the pm's still worked. I pm'd Alex also last night but didn't get the quick fix you did.

to Alex for taking care of us!!

We all think that, I think. At least I used to. Getting that error message isn't as bad as the one that used to say you were forbidden access to the website. Couldn't imagine what I had done. I also think it had a "Tabu" on it. Really scary. Should that occur unless you have done something which is a capital offense, I wouldn't worry. (losing a stitchy bug may feel like a capital offense but it isn't. Nor is wanting to smash a persistent with a hammer)

I promise to be good cross my heart. Got withdrawal reyt bad needed to share my update lol

Glad it wasn't just me

Almost had a panic attack last night when I loged on and got the error message. I thought it was my computer playing up again, it has been behaving this week. Glad we are back

I tried to have a lurk yesterday...not been on for aaages as I've been busy with my degree. Imagine my horror when I couldn't get on...I thought I'd been booted for not participating enough!
Luckily I'm still allowed to ogle everyones work....phew!!

I only had a problem logging on for a while on Monday morning but was ok all yesterday (Tuesday) which is just as well, I really really miss it when I can't get on.

Thanks Alex you are a

As if we'd do something like that!!

Glad it all seems sorted (mine, too!).

I am so glad we are back! I felt really put out yesterday not having my forum fix

Apologies if anyone did send PMs - I don't believe they were received, at least none came to this account. The Forums hosting company 'froze' the forum rather than removing it as they had before, so while it was still showing for most people, any new posts and PMs generally wouldn't go through. We got it worked out with them in the end.

Thanks for your patience.

Thank you for taking care of us!
