Forum going down frequently?

Forum going down frequently?

Is it just me or is the forum (and reprap.org) going down frequently? Like more than 80% of the time I want to reference material or ask questions it seems to be down.

Maybe it's a plot by my wife to get me off the computer and to stop working on the "project" :-)

I'm sure it's volunteer administered and probably underfunded so let us know if there are things we can do (or stop doing) to help.
It also makes me aware of how much I value such web pages :-).
Thanks for maintaining and helping with so much information.

Its not just you. Ive been having the same problem the last few days. Rather frustrating but then we dont pay to use theses forums so cant really complain, but it would be nice if they worked reliably.

... it's being handled, but can take a while to solve eye rolling smiley

We're eventually porting the forums to another server and hosting software ...

Thanks for the update Viktor. We really do appreciate all you do for the community. Please do let us know if there are things we can do or particular things which trigger issues so we can avoid them.

Is there a donations page to help pay for the costs? I'm very willing to contribute my time or money to help.

Sorry, wasn't complaining VDX. Speaking at least for myself, I'm grateful for the work you guys put into reprap.org

Yes! On reprap.org's Main Page you will find a link to a Donation Page on SourceForge.
