Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences

Has anyone else had major weirdness for the last hour? I couldnt log in, just went round and round in circles being told to tick the T&Cs box, and every personal space I went to just said "welcome to the personal space of reseacher..." etc. Plus 'who's online sadi none was logged in.,...

I just had it too!

Scary, because I can't remember what my login name/password is.

Damn that convenient "Always remember me on this computer" button.

Shall amend that immediately.

Even if you can remember your login & password it bounces you back and says you haven't registered!
I've had this before and was most perplexed, but this time I just assumed someone had kicked the plug out again and tried again later!

Amy: ear-deep in novels, poetics, and historical documents.

The servers are just being testy like they always are... this happens all the time. Nothing is forgotten, you just have to wait it out.

I'm assuming Jim's a-fixin' whatever's wrong.
