Screwfix Forum down ?

[D_Hailsham]

Checking if it's just me, but I have been unable to access the Screwfix Forum for several days. I get:

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Same result.

you should be ashamed to admit you even go on the screwfix forum.

Don't you ever go slumming?

Probably SF have got fed up with the nonsense posts on Just Talk, and the trolls who detract from genuine posts.

Of course, they could have decided to shut it down permanently, but can't be bothered to post the info in a meaningful form?

That would be par for the course with SF.

Still down!!

I can't see them closing it permanently as the forums bring a lot of traffic to the site and is a valuable marketing tool.

If however it does get the chop. this site will have a lot of rabble heading our way!

There is a more profesional message now stating they are undergoing maintenance.

I wonder if this means the many bug fixes and lack of features are being addressed!

You can always try this:

down for everyone or just me?

Just type or paste the url in the box and check if it is you or them.

It's up for me. Not that I ever go there, I just wanted to try the link.

Unfortunately that only checks the main Screwfix address not the Forum, which is still "unavailable due to essential maintenance".
