Grading Database offline?

Post by Adam Raoof » Sat Feb 16, 2019 3:30 pm

Just trying to do some grading but unable to connect - is that a general problem?

The ecfgrading site can be reached, but there's nothing there.

No database available at the back end I assume.

Presumably routine maintenance without a notice to that effect.

I reported it by e-mail to the relevant ECF unpaid volunteers just after 13:00. When someone will be able to act I have no reason to know.

The ECF league management system is in a very similar state, so presumably related. Sure it'll be fixed soon :)

I think ECF webmail might also be down, so the relevant ECF unpaid volunteers might not have received it. I reported it by text too.

One Director couldn't access their webmail earlier, but Wufoo forms came through to me. A very strange email from Julian Clissold arrived earlier; strange in that he clearly sent it days ago, but it only arrived late this morning. I wonder if that is related somehow.

I have also been unable to log into my ECF email account since yesterday, so it does seem that something has gone wrong within the ECF office systems. No doubt Andrew will be on top of it on Monday.

Tuesday. The website says that the ECF office is closed on Monday 18th February.

The online grading database is functioning once more.

… and I can get into my email account again.

If it was indeed Andrew who picked up on this, or whoever it was, and sorted it on a Sunday, a big thank you.
