Alone now.
Same thing here I first noticed it at around 03:30 GMT Saturday. Sometimes I get a 503 and other times the page never loads. Curious.

Last night my phone wouldn't connect to the sight at all. Thought the site may be down?

I wasn't able to connect to the site on my PC at about 2am either.

One thing this problem does show is there were a load of bushcrafters wide awake in the small wee hours wanting their fix of BcUK :rolleyes::lmao:

I've reported it to Tony to see if there was a general problem. Hopefully a one off glitch. We need out BCUK fix afterall. :D

In the woods if possible.
I've only seen the "guru meditation" thing when Virtualbox gets in a mess with one of its virtual machines.

I don't know why Tony's service provider would need to give him his service from a virtual machine but I can imagine that it could offer the hosted sites better security from each other, especially if some of them use some of the more flaky content management systems.

If the provider is on the ball the fix should be simple and quick.
