Earlier today, a global Microsoft Azure outage caused our servers to go offline for 5+ hours...Microsoft Azure is the cloud platform that hosts our servers and keeps the site running. The problem originated with Azure’s network infrastructure and affected many sites and apps across the web. Services are gradually being restored. We appreciate your patience and understanding...and I fully apologize if you actually had to work today.

Note: I can't access the site via my home's wifi network but it works when I use my phone's cellular network...this means that my ISP is using an outdated DNS and it may take some time to refresh....others may have the same issue.

As I said in its own thread...

No doubt the reason for the outage is 3I/ATLAS.

Scientist have been saying for days 10/29 was the date it would do it.

I knew something was up because I couldn't access a few sites earlier, not just TD.

Hard for redundancy to work when your H1B hire fricks something up on the networking side. Good job Microshaft.
