Apologies for the downtime - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Terribly sorry about that everyone - I didn't even realise Techwatch had gone down yesterday.

I almost stopped by yesterday and could have dealt with it much faster, but had a huge workload on - anyway, TW has my full attention at the moment.

The trouble seems to have been caused by a piece of code that called up ads - no idea why that should have caused an issue, but because of this, I've now disabled the ads on the right of the forum.

Anyway, it looks as though the issue is fixed - will keep an eye out on further issues, though.
