Apparently, there was a server error that made the forum inaccessible to some users for a few hours between 16:00 (GMT -6) 10-JULY-2010 and 02:00 (GMT -6) 11-JULY-2010.
Some users may have been greeted by any number of 403.xx errors (various Resource Forbidden errors), a 404 error (Not Found), a 408 error (Request Timed Out) or any number of 5xx errors, especially 504 (Gateway Time Out ) and 505 (HTTP Version Not Supported) errors.
Anyway, the upshot here is that the forum was down for a short period for some but completely unaffected for others. This was caused by a strange and ugly argument between two different parts of the server software that were trying to one-up one another.
However, while I don't know who started the fight, they have both been summarily flogged and chastised for their misdeeds, have been grounded for a week each and must, together, write a 1000 word essay (with two cited sources) on the merits of teamwork. They are now behaving nicely and promised never to do it again. They also wanted me to extend their sincere apologies to the members.
For my part, I apologize for the inconvenience and for any delays that may have occurred as a result.
