testingReflections recent outage

this.site
To all testingReflections loyal users, first let me say that I cannot apologise enough for the extended down time that you've experienced.

I cannot reveal all the details to this at this time but will do so in the near future. Suffice to say that the cause of the problems was due to a lack of available time to take the best care of testingReflections. The problem was exacerbated by a server move that happened before I'd had a chance to do what was necessary to make TR compatible with the new environment.

Over the last few days I've had to make time (at the expense of sleep or much rest over the bank holiday). The work is not yet complete but I am testing the next stage and will notify you of any further down-time well in advance (save any other unexpected events happening).

Thank you for your patience and I hope you continue to gain value from testingReflections.com

Best Regards

Antony Marcano
