Downtime reason not yet known, save posts to notepad

Sorry for the frustrating news, but our host suffered an outage today and they don't know why, and it's still affecting the back-end stuff apparently so if it's attack it may still be ongoing. Right now our files are serving beautifully fast, but until they tell me for sure what's going on, I would suggest any significant posts you write should be saved to your computer before you attempt to post them so as not to lose them.

I will update this announcement when I learn more.

Looks like everything's been ok since my announcement, so I'm downgrading it to a conversation.

I actually usually type posts in Notepad!

Also, this place has been reasonably good about saving my posts in a cache if I hit Back.

Good choice.

Yeah, I decided I didn't want to use an active WYSIWYG plugin for the response boxes in part because they make it harder to salvage posts from the cache.
