Initially, just boring diagnostic stuff, like checked my ISP & broadband was working.
Then checked that I could use other Vb Forums like PPrunes OK.
Then found that I hadn't bookmarked IRC, so I couldn't find out what was happening.
(Armedcats wasn't working either.)
So checked FB & TW instead, knew it was a problem, at least six hours old by then.
Thanks to all the team who got the site running again, it must have been a PITA, since it took so long.
.. and everything data-wise is back to where it should be, I think. With no wierd errors popping up.
Well done, recovery team.
