Folksy Status

Hi — we’ll be performing some more backend upgrades at half three this afternoon.
These will require the site to be in maintenance mode for around 2 minutes.
Thanks for bearing with us,
Doug.

Hi — we think we’ve fixed the issues with the Folksy subdomains, so the forums and Frankly magazine should be coming back online in the next couple of hours for everyone. Some people are already seeing them, so it’s just a matter of when your DNS updates.
Happily, the main site has been unaffected by this issue, only subdomains.
Thanks again for bearing with us,
Doug.

Hi — we’ve recently updated our DNS, and are having some issues that are affecting a couple of our subdomains, like the forums and the Frankly magazine. We’re currently looking into fixing these, and will keep you posted.

Cheers,
