“Service Temporarily unavailable …

… The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.”

So says the link on the Crossword Club site that normally displays today’s Times crossword. Judging by e-mail from today’s planned blogger, it’s been saying it for about 4 hours. Presumably the problem is the same one that means no archived puzzles are currently available – the Crossword Search page and similar ones for particular puzzles display with a large white space where the search parameters or list of puzzles should be.

I’ve e-mailed the usual support addresses at the Times (and a couple of (un)lucky Times staff), so we may get service back in an hour or two if it’s something that’s easy to fix.

There will be some delay in putting up a report but we should have something up by lunchtime.

Update (10:00 BST)Inevitably, now that I’ve gone out and bought the paper, the online version is back in action.

      1. unaware of problems at 10.30. Shouldn’t get too excited. It’s a rufus day.
