Hi all,
You may have noticed that over the past 36 hours, the site was occasionally running a bit slow - and timing out periodically.
This issue should now be fixed! :)
It was a slight (ahem) bottleneck in the database systems that has now been resolved. I'm going to be monitoring things closely over the next 24 hours, and have set up some alert systems so that I'm notified very quickly when a similar situation begins to occur again.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused,
James
