I was getting this all last night and again this morning after a period of access.

Hi Roger, this is probably a DNS IP address issue on your local machine.

it does help if you can clear the old ip addresses from your computer. Last night I had the forum on two computers at the same time. One showed 'server temporarily unavailable' and the other showed the forum working just fine.
I had a look at the server log and pages were loading just fine (well at least some people were getting pages)


To clear your computer you need to get the command line up. In the search box, bottom left (if you are on windows 10), type 'cmd'

A little black box that you can type in appears. copy and paste this just where the cursor id flashing:

ipconfig /flushdns

then press 'enter'

It does get the forum back for me instantly but I still get the odd recurrence now and again


If you don't want to do that I expect the issue will clear itself soon anyway.
