We know the reason and are on the case.

Normal service will resume soon.

Thanks to Mark for the prompt reply thru email about this problem although still not working on my side after several force reload, I guess I just have to wait.

Mine’s down, too. I have a Mac, and tried several times. It’s totally mangled.
Glad to hear you’re on the problem, Mark. Hopefully it’ll all be back to normal soon. Thanks.

Gosh, how Very cool! I came here to find out which wrong button I pushed after “edit” –“refresh” –blocking cookies to check, etc., etc. –cuz the header and the font went –well, you know –and now I know that you know! I’ll wait quietly, till you’re done. That is AH-mazing service. Thanks!

As an afterthought, I wanted to ask, would it be possible for WordPress to put up a temporary “OOPS!” message–or whatever that one is that is used whenever something isn’t functioning right here? At least visitors from outside WordPress would then know that it’s a WordPress problem and not a poorly designed blog. Even though it might not take long to fix, in the meantime, people are finding our sites totally messed up. What say ye?

I’ve noticed people asking for that somewhat often. The responses that I’ve read from WP staff to this suggestion have been less than welcoming.

i know with this particular issue, it doesn’t seem to be particularly consistent, so the effort of putting up an Oops message might take just as long as fixing the problem. :)

disembedded – asking for what?

Judy, you’re probably right. By the time the “OOPS!” gets posted, the problem may be fixed. If the problem goes on for hours, though, I hope they’ll consider that.

Shock! And i thought i did something wrong. Also one of my threads is not there anymore.
I wanted to post it at 24.03. I wrote it in advance in reason not to forget it. Now there is another Thread marked on 24.03. Hope you may fix it quickly.
Best regards
Peter

Look at it this way. Gives you something to blog about. Tell your visitors to do a forced reload of the page to get it to display correctly. :)

@mark, he’s talking about a sitewide status banner.

@DrMike – the forced reload isn’t working for all of us. Just FYI :-)
