Ditto BT.

I'm sure Kreuzy will be aware of this if he looks at the logs, but in the small hours of this morning I couldn't actually get on to Mailwatched: I received a notice of a general error advising there were too many connections to the SQL database.

The database is being cleaned out at 02:30 each day as it bloats with over a gig of residual shite from the bots which are targeting us. It is both unusual and a royal pain in the arse.

That explains everything, because that was about the time I tried to look at the forum.

OK, I have shifted tat to 03:45.

I've experienced that too, also daytime non-availability with a different error message - I wish I could recall what it said, I'll make a note next time it happens.

Thanks, K - but in reality, I shouldn't be doomscrolling at that time in the morning anyway!
