Hi folks,
I apologise profusely for the down time experienced last night (night at least in European timezones). It appears that a database query was allowed to run away and make excessive use of server resources.
I noticed the problem immediately but didn't have access to kill the query myself and had to wait for someone who did to come along to resolve the issue. During that time the database was unavailable, having a knock-on effect on the site itself.
Again, sorry for the down time!
Regards
Salathe
