Woo-Hoo - PF is back! Whew!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Whew! Though I was going to have to do work or something there in the meantime...:biggrin:

Thanks Greg!
 
I was waiting almost 8 hours for that moment ;)
 
Some threads still can't be read, but it's mostly back. Not that I am addicted. :rolleyes:

I can quit anytime I want.
 
I only checked in about five or six times through out the night and only PMed three people to ask if they were having the same problem.
I'm obviously not an addict.
 
How long was the outage?
 
Anybody mind explaining what happened?

I think I found it out at about 11 (PTS/our time) last night. I hadn't been on for a few hours by that point though.

Yay! PF works now!
I checked in this morning, and was a little cross, after refreshing didn't work.

Oh I'm not addicted as well but I can continue doing this => http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/46/typerhappydi6.gif

When I switched my computer on latest posts were from 8:03 or something like that - my time. And the next one was around 17:50 my time, so it was about 10 hours.

Although I see there were several posts added in the meantime. Could be it was possible to post, but not possible to read. Whenever I tried to visit some thread there were no posts listed, but Quick reply windows was there - could be it was working.

No, I tried to post something in the Feedback forum about this and it didn't go through.
I received a message that said that I could not post something within 30 min of each other. The message is not there.

I didn't think of trying that. PMs worked. I was wondering what other features might be working.

Some weird, ghost-like threads went through...with only the quick reply windows showing up. Check out, for example, the thread in Feedback started by neodevin.

I know, I have contacted the only Mentor online to check if it is just me or not.
