Recent Site Problem - July 21 2008

Sorry about the recent site problem! One of our servers crashed hard and we have to restart it. Apologies to those who were affected.

Erik & team

I thought it was just happening to me, thanks for the update.

No problem, I couldn't connect and I just thought I had forgotten my password lol

Thanks for letting us know.

These things happen in the computer world!  That's life! 

It was as if my heart had stopped!

haha ... i signed out 4 a few mins... then i kept tryin 2 sign in and i was thinkin i had gone mad and 4gotten my password after a few mins lol... thnks for the update... glad 2 know i wasnt goin mentally insane!:)

I thought it was the end of the world as we knew it (actually, I didn't notice it, but I just wanted to post this).

Thank goodness, I spent about 5 minutes repeatedly trying to log in, and began concerning myself with the possibility of having become a victim of somekind of chess.com identity theft, lol.

lol same as bob... i think everyone was thinkin the same thing ... oh well ... at least it only lasted a few mins... if lasted longer many people may have gone insane until they found out the reason lol

This isn't a specifically a chess.com comment but something that can be useful when you don't know whether a site has crashed, or whether the problem is with your own connection.

Visit this page  http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and enter the url  you're trying to reach and they'll test it and advise.

Interesting, useful web site thanks.

thanx dozy

Ahhhhh, once again, the apocalypse has been avoided.

I love these spamfests in daily puzzles and news.
