Tsikot.com Unexpected Partial Outage

Tsikot.com experienced an unexpected partial outage between 24-26th February.
The issue was to do with a bug.
We have applied 2 fixes and are waiting to see if it's fully resolved.
I'll have to do some scheduled maintenance later at 2 am 27th February. So expect another down time for around a couple of minutes to an hour.

Thanks for the heads up and the all the effort.

Hope it's not the same bug that's going around.

For Members reporting that they cannot post in some threads: Owner Timothy said it might be a vbulletin issue as admin changed something. It should be okay soon.

I am not restricting anyone

VBulletin has been upgraded to Version 5, which helped stability a lot
The issue is to due with forums, when someone performs a specific action, it can use up a lot of CPU usage
We also applied some other fixes and haven't experienced downtime in 3 weeks.
