Lookout Tool seems to be offline?

Yup, you're right. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do because that one is hosted on Vicky's server, so she'll have to investigate it.

Thanks for the heads up.

They did maintenance on my server on Oct 3 (no notice to me) and everytime they do it, they break my site.

Its up and running now.

Just out of curiosity, what do they do that breaks it and what do you have to do to fix it?

They move me to a new server where they are running the latest and greatest version of PHP.

1. If the old PHP version is available, I have them roll me back to the old version,. Takes them about an hour.

2. If they drop the old PHP version, I rewrite the code in the latest and greatest version of PHP, and then I just wait until they break it, and follow step 1 again each time they break it, until that doesn't work.

None of the cool tools I had purchased for my job work any more, and this is a pain in the neck to do by hand.

It appears to be down again.

Vicky fixed it, so should be back online now.

Has the lookout tool changed?

I let Vicky know, but she won't have access to fix it for at least a week. I'll let you know what it's back up.

Sorry about that. Of course this happened during my migration to Florida, so I didn't have access to a real computer! It should be up and running now.
