Problem sorted, for now

Good news.

Six weeks ago I reported that I was experiencing technical problems with this blog:

It doesn’t stop me posting but it takes a bit longer because when I try to log in and post copy I frequently get the message, ‘Whoops, something went wrong’.

It was also happening when I just wanted to access the site by like any other user. In addition I occasionally got the message, ‘500 Internal Server Error’:

It’s overcome easily enough. You just have to refresh the page and most of the time that reboots it, although edits have to be done again which is a nuisance if I haven’t copied them.

Despite several attempts to get the issue fixed the issue has been ongoing and getting worse … until today when it magically resolved itself.

Whatever the problem was it appears to be sorted, for now, which is a relief because it was becoming more than a little annoying.

What I don’t know is whether it was impacting on you, the reader.

What I do know is that I can no longer put off the inevitable. It’s time to upgrade this ageing platform to the latest version.

My fear is that, in the process, I could lose hundreds of posts and images. Watch this space!
