Apologies for the site being down the past 40 minutes - just a server error, but now fixed.

Will keep a closer eye on the issue over the next couple of hours, in case it comes up again.

lol same. Too much traffic Brian? or just a random server glitch?

Just a server glitch - being nothing more than a jazzed-up PC, servers need to restart eventually just like a home PC, or they eventually crash. A restart and they're fine again.

That's all that happened here, and is really quite common.

There shouldn't be any general reason not to be able to access the forums - so if anyone is experiencing periodic problems you're welcome to PM me about it and I'll see if I can find out why.

Apologies, just had to reboot the server which took TW offline for 2 mins - another site on the server is having problems so I'm just getting that straightened out.

I may have to reboot again in a few minutes, so if TW goes down don't worry as it'll only be for a very short time.
