Hi, I rarely visit TC now, but I've been unable to connect to old FP forum for several days...
There were prior warnings about attachments which suggested the 'graphics' drive was very full, so this outage might be a 'housekeeping' purge aka 'Essential Maintenance'...
Faint possibility is that IMSI are porting FP/TC archive to TFP format: Don't laugh, EzBoard is moving all theirs to 'Yuku', despite kicking and screaming from the victims.
Yup, old format was mildly-enhanced text, was usually fast. New format provides a lot more pretties, script etc etc but is infuriatingly slow...
In fact, it can feel like a regression to 'dial-up'...
