Website Disruption
Apologies for website disruption today. The site started producing errors this morning and I contacted support from our hosting provider. They diagnosed a corrupt file and rebuilt the site for us. After further issues with the rebuild which meant the site wasn’t working correctly, it should now be stable and working as normal for Admin, Editors, Authors and Commenters.
