Xdrivers website yesterday

Post by graemeX5 » Mon Feb 27, 2017 9:16 pm

Hi

Did anyone else have problems accessing the xdrivers website and do we know what happened?  as it was so unlike the site not to be available.

I did check my internet and that and the rest of the website I use were ok.

Me too - I asked the bosses and they were on it straight away. AW8 was a bit lacking though - bet he gives us some BS about being at work!  ;)  :))

Hi

Thank goodness nothing major as I did think for a minute or two our site had been hacked by some nasty people.

It shows how little I know about websites. :))

Backend database issue - too many posts by X5Sport I think  :))

Sanj - think AW8 did not get your text as it was an iMessage and his phone was not accepting that, I had to reply via an old fashioned SMS to him  :))
