1. The unscheduled maintenance is now complete. Thank you for your patience whilst this was done.

    Please note, we are NOT expecting this to resolve all of the issues with slow loading pages, as we believe this is due to issues with the host servers. This situation will continue to be monitored and escalated where we are able to do so.

    Merry Christmas to one and all!
