    Hello all,

    I have been quite happily visiting the "Paradata" website for a few years now but today when I tried to I got the following page (see pic 1). I then clicked on the "installation page" link and got this message (see pic 2).

    Any ideas???????

    All the best :)

    PS I'm not sure if it's relevant but I'm using Google Chrome...........

    Paul, I've been unable to connect to Paradata in the last few days and just got the same Drupal notification as you. Drupal I thought was a content management framework used to create web sites. In other words it's handled at their end and not something a visitor or user of the site has to install. Hopefully one of our more knowledgeable techie types will clear this up.

    My thought is they are either having problems at the site or perhaps making changes ... ?

    Oh, and I'm on Firefox ...

    Cee, that's exactly what it is. Looks like there is a problem with their database server. It may not be running, has crashed, become corrupted, been hacked, or many other possible problems.
    Until someone fixes it your out of luck for visiting the site.
    The messages you are seeing are generated from the server end, not from your local machine. Browser your using is irrelevant.

    Cee, Wayne,

    Thanks for your replies fellas. At least I can rest easy that it's not "my end" as it were. Hopefully it will get sorted soon.

    All the best............ :)
