We had a very slow site today with 3 hours of downtime.
This is the culmination of a couple of problematic days with bad server performance - which some of you might have noticed. I want to apologize not only for the downtime but also for the lack of information. Videos didn't work for the last hour and we should have told you about it - instead of letting you click around the site and wonder what was going on. However it currently looks like all issues are solved and like we have a responsive website, just like it should be! Please let us know if you still should encounter any problems. I will return with more news about this tomorrow - but all members can expect to get at least one extra day of access added to their accounts. -------------------- I do not have any natural talent at all - you can beat me with hard work.

As unbelievable as it may seem, the one who pointed out that the site was acting strange about 2 days ago, was my girlfriend
 and I was thinking 'nah, couldn't be...'

Yes, me too. I just thought it was my internet connection. It still seems to "waiting for.." in my status bar, not fully loading.

No worries, these things happen
 I think it's just that the server is having to re adjust to the extra levels of awesome-ness that has come to GMC lately, with new members, special instructor courses, super cool REC takes etc.. In a way, all us instructors and members can all blame ourselves for making such a cool site !

You're right, servers aren't nearly as awesome as people. That's pretty obvious to me after today! -------------------- I do not have any natural talent at all - you can beat me with hard work.

Things like this happens, they are resolved afterwards.
I deal with this day after day because that's my job (I am a developer/architect mostly web) It takes time. (or just the professionals relax themselves with this at least  )Ohh, server's like pet's, claims the care.  anyway, I was pretty happy about having seen the side again. Thanx! Jeff -------------------- All the best!

I actually complained to my ISP and blamed them. I'm sure it was their fault somehow!

We will keep looking at how we can improve the site's performance - to avoid these kind of incidents in the future.
All member will be given 2 days extra access. -------------------- I do not have any natural talent at all - you can beat me with hard work.
