Title: forum access issues
Post by: icystorm on Dec 23, 2025, 09:49 PM
@Boydie and @tone — Greetings to you both! For several days, the forum has been largely inaccessible, with only spotty access. Others have reported the same experience to me via messages outside the forum.

Attempts to access https://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/ from Firefox result in:

---

The connection has timed out

The server at www.songwriterforum.co.uk is taking too long to respond.

    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

Update: It seems the forum's accessibility issues of the past few days may have been resolved. For the past six hours or so, as of this writing, access to the forum seems normal to me.

Thanks Joseph @icystorm

I check every day and did notice an additional "one off" captcha thing to prove I am not a bot - and things then settled down, so I presume @tone and his elves were working some Christmas magic behind the scenes!

I want to remove my lyrics ideas that my friends and I put together, but I can't even log out. Could you please remove and close my account
