Sorry to all those who couldn't get into the website earlier this evening.

The problem turned out to be with our main server being overloaded which caused the webserver to crash.  As our servers are housed in a high-speed data centre in Germany, it took a couple of hours and a lot of frantic phone calls before managing to get a technician to physically press the 'Restart' switch on the affected server.

All systems are now back to normal.
