Why was MSFN down yesterday and why is it still slow? Loading the pages takes over 1 minute for me.

Database issues. Tried to update test database and went wrong. Still slow? Loading fast here.

Loading fast here also. Many thanks.

ok, thanks. Now it is fast again.

Fast here too.

Cheers and Regards

Is there an offsite board or place that status is noted?

I did look at the MSFN Twitter account but there were no new entries for a couple of weeks.

Just wondering. Some sites keep a thread running at other places like Yahoo or whatever. I suppose Twitter is a better fit though for something like this.

I've had SQL Server issues all day here. Why does it randomly go out like that?

Yes, all day today I kept getting SQL Error screens that looked like this:

I was starting to wonder if MSFN may have been hacked because of the critique some of us have made of Windows 8...

No, I don't think it's related (although anything is possible). But MSFN was out for me, too, for something under 24h.

That's exactly the same screen I've been receiving as well. But it wasn't just yesterday, it's been happening for at least 2 weeks now but yesterday it was out for the longest.

Huh, it took me hours and hours to fix crashed tables. I hope everything is fine now.

And of course, thanks very much for all the work you put it to keep MSFN going.
