    There have been several times in the past few days for long periods of time that the forum has been down. Any idea what is going on?

    Yea .............. were back!

    Good thing Barrett Jackson was on so I had something car related to do. :)

    Stefan will, I'm sure, let us know what happened - some type of server problem it looked like.

    Looks like the server is running low on resources. Will probably need to reduce the image cache retention period to free up some space.

    Ill change a setting to reduce how long temporary images are kept. The only downside is that image heavy threads that have not been viewed in a while will take slightly longer to load.
