The techs and I have no idea why - I was sleeping in today - it's a public holiday here in Australia (Queen's Birthday) so I had no idea the site was down.

We are using the latest versions of all software so there is a suspicion that it's software, possible OS, related. The techs are investigating.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I will be swapping one of our main web servers with 4 new dual Opteron web servers to increase redundancy and scalability of CF. This will occur in the next couple of weeks I anticipate, and should address downtime/speed issues (I pray!)

Hey that'd be cool but I honestly have not experienced any speed issues recently. I understand that some people have though and hopefully this will benefit them.

so this would mean that if one server crashed, the other 3 would continue to function?

Yes. Well, we used to have this, but we went to a main quad opteron with separate minor servers for images, attachments, DNS, mail etc. - this is mainly for php caching purposes - having 1 main web server is easier to code for when it comes to using APC to cache datastore for the forum software - but best to also diversify the main web server to many like we had before - we'll just have to do a workaround like we did before - annoying but can be done.

I'm starting to get a complex! The last three unexpected, unexplained down-times have all gone like this:

I log into CF.
I go to my UserCP.
I see new posts in my subscribed threads.
I click each thread to open in successive tabs in my browser.
...
...
...
Still waiting...
...
...
...
Each new tab results in a time-out / page load error.
I try to refresh my UserCP and get the same time-out / page load error.
A few hours later, CF is back up and a thread like this appears.

I'm starting to think I'm causing the crashes!
