I don't know whether you guys noticed or not but approx 8 hours ago it was almost impossible to post anything in this archive. Now that I get to post a story, it won't show in my challenge slot.

Help?

Thankies!

No - we've not noticed, and no errors have been reported by the system.

We noticed that you managed to post the story four times in total, deleting the first three. Can you describe your problem in more detail as it appeared to work four times for you as far as we can tell.

I added it as a challenge entry for you - you need to lodge it as a challenge entry when adding the story, you can't add an already posted story as a challenge entry. Or is it this bit you think isn't working?

Well, it's working fine now thankies. ^_^ I did add the Challenge slot but it didn't seem to cooperate then.

At the particular time it refused to load. It worked, then the screen would hang, as in blank black screen in my IE.

Maybe the lib com's ridden with virus or something but I tried it on two seperate PCs.

It's around that time that a nightly (US time) backup happens. It unfortuntely slows the site down to a crawl for a period which the database is copied, unfortunately.

There is not much I can do about it - although I've been speaking to the server admins about it to see what can be done.

Although I do have one idea that I need to dodge if possible, but if desparate measures are required, then so be it...
