lol just save the info and make a note of the time/date/page/error etc. Also useful is the "Page generated in x seconds" part from the bottom of each page.
Either keep hold of the info until the site is running right again, or email it to me if you have my email address.
If the site is totally down, any of the staff have my mobile number and can get in touch with me.

Not this member of staff, I can't afford to phone a mobile.
If the site works, albeit slowly, I will gladly pass on any info to Matt, via email.
the server actually failed totally earlier today for 45 minutes, the hosts say IPSEC was responsible (for the techies). Server rebooted and was fine.
It is running slow though, and I still don't know why. It's up and down. All pages loading in <1 second now, but sometimes it really slows down. And when it goes slow - there doesn't appear to be any problem on the server which is weird.
back to normal now.
THe new advert system was recording every view of each advert (For reporting purposes to advertisers who pay). I'm just trialing the system but i think all the recording was bogging down the server.
But now i've changed it to just a counter that updates and the site is back to its good old ways again.
What you think?
ok i give up! Site is dead again and I can't figure out why.
I get the new server's fibre connections installed on 15th April, at which point we'll be running at light speed (Literally - it's glass fibre lol).
