SDMB Down?

At around 1210 PST, I repeatedly got:
ERROR

The request could not be satisfied.

CloudFront attempted to establish a connection with the origin, but either the attempt failed or the origin closed the connection.

It is now 1217 and I can connect. Was it down, or was it a local problem?

When I check new posts there is a gap between 1211 and 1217 hrs.

I posted with a link, and when I hit the link to verify it, it was down. So I guess I busted it. Sorry bout that.

Because you fixed it so quickly, all is forgiven.

efore they’re pushed out by newer posts, here is the gap between 1211 and 1217 hrs PST. I include links to the posts.

**jtur88, it looks like you got your post in just in time.
BTW, I enjoyed those Shinkansen commercials.

From the ATMB mod, engineer_comp_geek:

[QUOTE=engineer_comp_geek]
The CloudFront error means that the problem was on the server (SDMB) side. Other than that, I don’t have any information about exactly what happened. I would assume it was some sort of temporary glitch. Maybe they had to reboot the server for some reason.
