The site is down. Of course it happened during a gap when no was working on the site or had access to a phone, hence the late response. Frimble is now looking into the issue, thanks for your patience!

Update to why site was down: Turns out it was a problem when updating ssl certificates and no one was near an actual computer at the time, so it was matter of getting home to fix it. There's a thread on MetaTalk about all this: metatalk.metafilter.com/26660/Note-a...
Note about site being down for about an hour.
Yes it happened, will share details when we know more. Reminder about our BlueSky account for checking for news about site being down, it's located at https://bsky.app/profile/metafilter.bsky....

Will post when we have a better understanding of why things went down.
