Hi

Unfortunately this weeks test has been cancelled due to unforeseen and unexpected server maintenance :frowning:

Yeah; really sorry about that, PsychoRomeo - it was unexpected. Basically, because we’re still in development, we don’t have full redundancy set up on the dev boxes - which we would (ofc) have in a live production environment.

Many thanks for your last video; really useful for us to make sure that other people are seeing the same thing’s we’re seeing.

Best,

SC
