So Gransnet has been down again since early morning again
No explanation that I can see this seems to be happening a lot lately what’s going on ?

Hi all, apologies for the outages this week. We are going to do an update tomorrow which should put a stop to them we hope.

The errors you see are from "Cloudflare" telling you that they can't reach Gransnet. In general, when you request a page the request goes you -> Cloudflare -> us. If our site is unreachable they show that error message.

Again, apologies for this. We are working on fixing it.

Can I ask, are you not aware of problems, until GNetters report them?
I had always assumed that things showed up your end, in some way.

Yes we are usually made aware automatically. I got texts from a monitoring system this morning for example.

Probably doing maintenance. All websites have to be cleaned up for security and performance.

Yes, I did realise they've probably been busy cobwebbing with a feather duster.

When checking if Gransnet is down a message comes up saying it's not just me, it's down for everyone.
There must be a lot of cobwebs around lately.

Gransnet used to come through into my emails regularly which I really enjoyed. For some reason this has stopped and now I have to go hunting for it through Google. Would anybody know why this has happened?

I use Chrome on a PC and when GN goes down I just can't get in, no error messages.
