Just fyi – if you tried to come online this morning, there were/are some issues and the website showed “account suspended”. The software Marketmontage.com runs on has a group of plug-ins running in the background. These plug-ins allow for things like “mos read posts of the week”, subscribe to the blog, etc etc and one of them was acting up and hogging a ton of the 3rd party host’s server capacity. The issue was so severe the 3rd party host cut off access to Marketmontage.com this morning (“account suspended”) so that the other websites they service on that server would not be slowed down by MM. No warning, just a cut off of service as the website was hogging so many resources.
On a temporary basis, we’ve disabled all the plug-ins, until we figure out which one is the culprit. Once we can figure that out, we will kick that plug-in to the curb. Hence the website is going to look a bit off, format wise, for the next few hours or days while we figure out what the exact issue is.
All in the day of the life!
