One of the two servers that provide the Coffee Shop website and forum failed in some way at around 22:30 last night (29th August 2025). I have been investigating and in touch with our web space (hosting) provider, and the server is up and running again (writing just after 06:00 on 30th August.
I am now into a learning and checking phase - I don't yet know what went wrong or whether the fix is a permanent one. This post is something of a test in itself and I will update you all soon - need a cup of coffee first.

It would appear that no data / posts have been lost, and the server appears to be running normally at present. I would recommend members to cut-and-paste and keep a local copy of anything they submit over coming hours while I come to understand what happened and take any steps needed to keep the Coffee Shop open as normal.
I do NOT have any concerns with regards data security though (of course) I keep an eye open for any worries in that area. I am concerned (until I know what went wrong) that it might happen again. I await a ticket update from our web space provider; first concern had been to restore service.
