I seem to be having a very regular problem with access to this site.

I log on and manage to get 3 or 4 mysteries completed and then the server goes down and i get a 'page cannot be displayed' messgae.

This is now starting to affect both mine and my agencies score. is there anything that can be done about this?

I am having the same problem.

The site ends up letting me back in after about an hour. It seems to be doing it more and more often.

Yes, I'm sorry about that. The server load is increasing with the higher traffic. The eventual fix is to get a better server, which will be the first investment I will make with the proceeds from subscriptions. My guess is it will be another month or so before enough money has come in to pay for that. In the meantime, I'll be trying tweaks to allevieate the problem.

As Dr Watson said, it usually takes no more than an hour for the server to correct itself. I am very sorry about this situation.
