Yes. Around 0700 GMT yesterday (7th) I found I couldn't check in results, 
then when I tried to check my personal account I was getting a Couldn't load 
DLL problem. Later in the day this changed into Insufficent resources.

The general status reports still work but seem to be frozen at 0500 GMT 
yesterday.

My guess would be that some clown has successfully executed a DoS attack but 
an underlying problem, like a memory leak or disk space exhaustion, could 
possibly lead to similar problems.

Guess we have to live with it until Brad gets in to work tomorrow.

I'm not certain I got the same but yes, I too received errors
trying to upload status today.
