For about 8 hours I was unable to open the club website at all yesterday, on various machines and phones. This from mid afternoon until finally opening it up just gone 10 pm

I notice that other members made posts during that time. Did anyone else experience this "lockout"?

All machines able to access it today and I had no problems at all with other sites or internet connection.

Yes good to read that, but why has I taken numerous and frequent complaints on here before Ro, or someone else at HO has had the decency to supply we members with at least the prospect of notification of closure of the website, especially as the maintenance is planned?

Does it matter? I’m just pleased that we have a positive reaction. 👍🏻

But it does matter, TW. Had this issue not been raised by WN initially, and the discussion that followed, then nothing would have been done, if it come to fruition, that is. We would still be no further forward in  finding out when the site was going to be down. As you yourself posted it is not just at the end of the day that it happens but occasionally during times when many are trying to look at and book sites, which is most frustrating for many I suspect.

….and now it’s been addressed so I see no point in holding an inquest. Life's too short to get worked up about what’s gone before.

If in the main if it is regular scheduled maintenance, as stated, it should be possible to publish down times, perhaps in News and Events, well in advance. The NatWest usually give me at least a weeks notice. An annoying pop up would be better but that might be to much to hope for.

Hi everyone,

As it stands, the Club has regular scheduled maintenance across the website to keep updating various system and business requirements.

Following your feedback we will do our best to advise in advance where we can of any future planned work on the Club website where you will be unable to access the website or forum.

 but nothing seems any different afterwards .... it's still the slow clunky site is was beforehand.

Sadly internal server errors don't dimish despite all the maintenance.

I wonder just what is being 'maintained' during the hours the site is offline? Everything seems as slow, clunky and far from intuitive........

But it hasn't as of yet been addressed. All we have is a statement that they will try to advise in advance where we can of any future planned work on the Club website where you will be unable to access the website or forum, to quote Ro. There have been similar promises of informing members about aspects of the club but which seldom see the light of day. I guess for the time being it is just a case of wait and see if that information is forthcoming.

Seems as if persistence pay off. Had this discussion not taken place then I am sure there would not have been that posting. However thankfully it's there today, and hopefully in all the further occasions of "outage".laughing
