Yes, unfortunately the web-site went down again yesterday (Friday 23).  Apparently the server had 'issues' again (which were supposed to be fixed last time)

Consequently, it looks like we've lost anything that was posted on Thursday 22nd (which includes all that gold stuff in the YouTube thread).  BUMMER!!

Discussions with Alex have determined that we will move to another server to (hopefully) avoid this in the future.  As the announcement says, the site may go off-line while this happens, so we'll try and do this at a less incovenient time and have a message telling people what's going on.

in the mean time, on behalf of AMTRA, can I just say sorry for any inconvenience caused by yesterday's outage.  For those who had to seek therapy, please bring your receipts to the meeting on Wednesday and offer them to the Committ for re-imbursement!

Well, we're back up and running and running FAST!  The server swap has added a bonus of blistering speed (which was un-expected) so enjoy that!

Thanks to Alex for sorting this out over the weekend and to Mark for changing the DNS settings so quickly.

We have lost some posts, so if you think something is missing, please re-post it.  

Hopefully, ly, this is the last time we'll need to contend with this issue.  It's not unusual for servers to crash, but not twice in three weeks!
