What a surprise they've messed up again and websites are only working intermittently

Definitely need a hobby mate. Replying to your own whinges with more whinges now.

Last week they backed out the changes that broke websites. They've done extensive testing and today attempted the upgrade again with if anything worse consequences than last time!

Thanks to Matt Taylor (orbrey) of Digital Care the a problem was raised and the affected servers have apparently been taken out of the load balancers.

Website pages now appear to be being served correctly.

Hi all,

There'll be a service status posted shortly but this afternoon we'll be putting those servers back into the loop (they're tested and fixed now) and finishing off the upgrades. We'll be keeping an eye out for any issues both internally and out here.
