Yay!! iNat is back!

alexis_orion · January 25, 2020, 8:46am

I was too fast - were down again :(

The site has been up and down the entire morning. Last night already I got messages that the queue is full, please try again later. Maybe the site is extremely busy at the moment?

Yes, down in Victoria, Australia

Was down an hour ago, when I came back now still down. :( Affiliates are down too but that’s what you’d expect with that type of server error. Only problem is its currently in the middle of the night for California so it might be a while before the tech iNat’s wake up. :(

Yes @reiner that’s my experience but interesting that none of the iNat staff or moderators of this forum (which is working) have responded to this problem (@bouteloua @loarie )

I thought it was working at 08:00 Greenwich time (about 09:00 Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam time). Well, lets read the newspaper…

oneanttofew · January 25, 2020, 10:05am

I don’t know what what you mean???

lisa_bennett · January 25, 2020, 10:10am

Down here for us in New Zealand as well.

alexis_orion · January 25, 2020, 10:23am

it was working for me then too.

alexis_orion · January 25, 2020, 10:25am

as @reiner said, it’s still night there , so we might have to wait a bit for them to respond.

as to the forum working, the forum isn’t hosted on the main iNat server, so it wouldn’t be affected.

down here too in Italy. I wouldn’t expect much on them, not for lack of skills of course, but for the fact that their responsabilities do not span on server administration.
I bet the managers of the server already have some web monitoring service which is alerting them that the website is down.

Been down for me here in Western Australia for at least 12 hours.
