Just rebooting, another glitch hopefully only 5-10 mins. Apologies again. There is a plan in place to resolve this, this coming week.

We'll be adding more time to supporters passes to make good.

OK it's back for now.

Apologies again. We're doing everything we can to resolve these image problems permanently and quickly.

Images were offline for 10 minutes or so. We'll be adding a full hour to all supporter passes.

Grappling with issues like this is part of running a super busy website. This is not a simple server upgrade but a re-work of some of our software systems. For the geeks out there we're doing around 60m photo serves each day, at peak times it is thousands of requests to the image server each second.

We've made a change today that we hope will resolve this issue. We'll continue to monitor. We also have further plans if this initial change doesn't work as hoped.

We're also moving to a new server first thing tomorrow morning so image uploads will be off for 1-2 hours between 7am and 9am.

Nice... that's an impressive figure.

I'm afraid I think it might have gone again this morning....
