Was it just me or was the site down all afternoon?

Yea, I'm in Santa Fe, working in a basement room without windows on a network project. When I had a moment to check the site I saw it down and worked to get it back up. There is one time-bomb issue (vsession table not getting automatically purged and if it fills the site stops - I manually clear it every odd month - but it's an issue I need to get resolved).

Sorry for it being down before a nice holiday weekend...

EDIT: The FASTEST way to notify me of an outage is to pull out your Rescue List and VOICE CALL me (leave message if I can't answer). Perhaps I'll see about an automated monitoring / response system for up-time...

Not a big deal Jim, stuff happens. Have you looked in to a cron job to clear the vsession table?

I recall only a few times this happened to me but with all the new members it fills much faster.

Figured it didn't warrant a phone call. Sites go down all the time. Not convenient but certainly survivable.

Obtw I use https://www.siteuptime.com to monitor my website.

Thanks for the clarification. And thanks for the quick fix! Really just wanted to make sure my computer wasn't acting up.
