    Hi all,

    Looks like the site was down for 3 hours last night. Normally I get an alert SMS / text message when it goes down but I forgot to configure it properly so didn't receive one.

    Looking into the cause. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Frank... with all the work and effort you put into this site... no apologies needed!
    However... I was starting to go through withdrawals!
    :D

    Don't you ever sleep Frank? We'll wait for you to wake up. Just don't take too long at it. We get impatient if we can't get on here for long periods. Thanks for getting it back for us.

    Glad to see the site is up and running Frank. You keep everything running so smoothly when the site is down it catches us by surprise. Like Cheryl says, we start to have withdrawal symptoms. Thank you for keeping the gremlins at bay.

    It must have been during my down time and I was asleep, but glad it is fixed. I am on here a lot, but never noticed it. :stew1:

    Frank, What you are really doing is giving us all equal time to do some outside work without worrying over missing something here on the stew :-D Not to worry! we appreciate all the work you do on here.

    Frank, after reading the above posts you may get the feeling that you are appreciated! You are, and so is the Stew. Keep it running for us or we will not be responsible for the consequences!
    This is the least "buggy" and down-time site I've ever been on. The occasional glitch just reminds us how much we enjoy the Stew.

    I noticed it was down when I got back from the grocery store, checked on it a few times during the evening and could just picture our fearless gnome pounding on the keyboard with sweat pouring down his face, maybe swearing a few choice words now and then, until at last he had beaten the bug that infested and caused the problem.

    Glad to have it back and THANKS MUCH FEARLESS GNOME

    Thanks all, I do sweat when it goes down because I know how it is part of your daily coffee / tea / relaxation routine. I liked the above comment about "least buggy". It's like a garden, one strives to have it "least weedy" :)
