Kerry: we thought we had the problem of the CFC website crashing licked, however after two weeks of consecutive up-time it suffered a server shutdown over the weekend, due to heavy use on the database.

The Resolution people are working this week to rewrite all of the database programming and interface, so that this won't happen any more. While this is happening I think we are going to experience ups and downs every day.

Those needing the ratings should make a copy of the new tdlist.txt once it's posted later today or tomorrow (when we're up).

It's 11am ET and the web site is up with the new ratings for this week. Anyone absolutely needing these between now and the end of the weekend should make a copy now of tdlist.txt or the SwissSys mde file.

I expect Resolution will be now working on this "site outage" problem until it's finally resolved.

The website is now up again - TD's should download what they need while it is still up. It may still be periodically down during the major rework which is going to take place imminently.
