    Apologies for the extended outage today - we've had some ongoing networking and performance issues which escalated this evening to the point where I was unable to recover.

    I've moved PropertyChat to a new server, so hopefully things will improve now!

    There may be some quirks and things not quite working as expected yet - so please do let me know if you come across anything which is not quite right.

    I will need a few days to properly tune the database server, so there may be some minor performance issues in the short term.

    Whew, thanks Simon, I was getting a few PC withdrawal symptoms!
    I hadn’t resorted to reality tv though :)

    Thank you for your efforts on our behalf, @Simon Hampel

    Posting at 3.16am seems to be going above and beyond!

    Yeah, I ended up getting around 2 hours of sleep before I had to get up and get some more work done before heading out to kid's school athletics carnival for the day. Fortunately it's been a lovely day in Sydney today, so was quite pleasant.

    Next challenge: to stay awake until bed time so I can get some EOFY stuff done.

    @Simon Hampel - Sheeeesh! Don't these servers of yours have KPIs? :eek:

    We barely noticed it was off the air. :rolleyes:

    Thank you for all the effort you put in @Simon Hampel. It is very much appreciated.

    Still, I'm curious if you ran out of 30c pieces to put in the meter or whether the mouse running the wheel escaped.

    That's the answer. Super impossible to get 30c pieces, so there's the problem....

    Well thank you, but to be fair - it's my job to keep the sites running. I don't get paid if the sites don't run.
