Don't mean to hijack your thread, but I've been seeing this a lot lately:
Service Temporarily Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Is this routine, or is FR under some kind of attack?

I suspect it’s just the server having hiccups. I’m sure JohnRob will fix it when he wakes up.

“I’ve been seeing this a lot lately”

I’ve seen it too, from multiple ISPs. I’m also getting occasional server timeouts.

Jim said they are *denial of service* attacks similar to what Facebook and Twitter had last week.

I couldn’t get on FR yesterday afternoon.
