It's not your fault - boy, I was surprised when I got the message:
The DNA Service Is Temporarily Unavailable
We're sorry, but DNA is temporarily unavailable because we're performing some routine maintenance. If you would like to try again later, please do. We expect to be finished by around 7:00pm BST.
I REALLY had thought you had been joking

I seem to have missed it all; it's like missing an eclipse!

I pressed back once and got thrown out, I am thinking maybe its not all fixed yet?
This is the only website I know where it can't cope with being pressed. Normally though its how I navigate all websites and I really can't get out of the habit just for h2g2.
