What happened to TRF this Friday and Saturday?

I got some 404 error, and could not log on to our site at all. Are the nasty Russians up to their tricks again????

Me, too - the site either wouldn't load, or came up with 404 error, on Thursday, Friday and most of Saturday.

Seems OK now, if a little slow, but comes up occasionally with a page saying 'Database Error' and to refresh the page

The technical guys at TRF have been working hard to resolve everything for us

I also couldn't get to the site since Wednesday 05/19 and am now glad that everything is back to normal. Perhaps the mods should put a 'sticky' up stating what happened?

Cheers,

Jonathan.

So sorry to hear that. I couldn't log on for days, either. After a couple of days of that I also feared that it was an attack. Great work to all of the site administrators!

I was unable to access the site as it would time out trying to load. It seems that they must have the issues resolved. Thanks TRF!!!
