Is the story side of the site down right now?

I was just wondering the same. The boards are fine, but I can't get into the stories.

This happened quite a bit not too long ago

The only explanation for this is that we won't get an explanation.:)
 
For a while you could get to it sideways, by googling and selecting some part of the story site other than the home page. But it's all down now. 503 error, whatever the heck that means.

I'm sure the people who had new stories up today will be thrilled.

Many times in the past when this is happened it was learned it was do to updates. But seeing that is always the answer after the fact I always wonder.
 
It was up for a few minutes, and back down again. And I do have a new story out today. Oh well.
 
The story side will probably go in and out all night until Manu can address the problem. This happens occasionally.
 
Completely unrelated, but it seems there's been a change to the PM limits, and my guess is that it has to do with post count.

As Dark, I now have a limit of 750. As Les, it's 150. As RR, it's 250.

Or at the very least, I've never noticed it before LOL
 
All I got at 0645 GMT was:-

503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.
 
No LIT stories for hours and hours! I'm getting desperate! Nothing to read! Guess I'll have to write some more instead. Finish that rewrite of BRIDE OF KONG 03, yeah...
 
Manu just posted a note that they are doing upgrades and it's causing glitches.
