My ISP at work told me it was due to "overloading" but it was still out when I left work 8hrs after it went down.

Glad I've got cable at home *;D

--edit--
cloverm: Just out of interest, is the LJR home page house seperatly to the cgi stuff? It's just I could get to a current homepage but forums etc timed out.

No, the home page and the scripts are hosted on the same server. Actually, parts of the home page are generated by cgi scripts. Occasionally, I have noticed timeouts on the website, I don't really know what's causing it.

[Compunuts]

Home page loads only the static stuff on the server.

The forum needs to read from the MySQL database and that's why it takes a little while to read and sometime will time out. That also happen whenever I have busy network such as my ISP links are down and only a few of them are working......
