The outage on 3/5

FortWilder

Gave me heart palpitations.  Anyone else?  It forced me to look at what would happen if i couldnt get all my patterns.  I almost cried!! There needs to be a fan group or somewhere we can go to check status of the site so we can be reassured it isnt gone forever!

I hate it when stuff like that happens, I feel so helpless!

I was scared too! I did a Google search to see if there was anything there but nothing about an outage. I thought PinDIY was gone forever. What a panic. Today I thought Id try again just on the off chance it came back...AND it did. Yay. Im very happy to still be here with all of you and the patterns I have yet to download, of course.

I too was scared witless.  I dont think Im going to wait as long to gather up my wish list just in case its more than a server problem some day.

I must admit I was freaking out quite a bit myself!

craftysasha

Yes! I kept thinking of all the patterns on my wish list that I havent gotten yet!

I have belonged to so many places that have just poofed.  Scared me as well!

have you considered backing up your pattern downloads on a flash drive?

Theyre on a portable drive.  I was worried about not getting new ones

So how many of us went on a download spree once everything came back up?

My patterns are saved on a flash drive and to my computer. The flash drive does need to be updated though
