I agree DM!
Do you know why the server/database goes down usually every 24hrs? It's bloody annoying.
Lets hope it fixes things

I think they bring them down early in the AM (eastern time) to run a cleanup job otherwise they run out of space. They were down all weekend because of some power upgrade at the university. They have been up since then.

If you are running MW, check your invalids. Since the last outage the invalids are about 8-10%. I have set the project to "no new tasks" until they resolve it.

EDIT: Also they received their new server today so expect some downtime over the next few days.
