A strange activity, vaguely reminiscent of having to earn a salary. (http://bestsmileys.com/eek/11.gif)

Some forums have a "we are down for maintenance  back at...." message, that was what I meant Rik not the server offline FF generic one ;)

Thanks Inactive they are a pair of cuties and cuddle under the Duvet and lick my nose to wake me up for their breakfast, with my wife Justina away I would be lost for company without them  ;D

We do, Gary, but for it to be displayed, the server has to be up.

How come some site manage a server offline for work then Rik, I'm fuddled

Post by: Rik on Dec 21, 2007, 10:30:39
All I'm saying, Gary, is that if we take the forum down, we do display a message. If IDNet take the server down, it's up to them what is displayed.

That's exactly what they were doing, in computer terms, Ann. Cleaning up the server, making sure we had plenty of space etc. :)
