    Default When you switch the forums off...

    ... could we have an suitable message page instead of a blank one, please? Two moments to code it and then you could divert to there if it happens again. It doesn't have to be smart. Just a one line message.

    and
    Lotzabitz -anything that doesn't belong in one of the other shops.

    I don't think they were 'turned off' as such.

    Almost every bit of forum software that I know of has an "off" switch, which results in a message being displayed when they're unavailable. For example: My test forums

    This to me seemed more like a corruption problem.

    You may be right but that's not what it says under announcements.

    A site announcements page would be good to let us know whats going on with a link at the bottom of each page.

    True! But they probably don't want to admit that they screwed up!
