Increase in Answers forum "unexpected downtime" events?

Hi @jogihara @kristen
Can you find out why the Answers Forum is experiencing so many “ifixit unexpected downtime” events lately, (since the start of the new year at least)? - Is it the devs testing perhaps?
It’s getting a bit frustrating writing answers to questions only to lose it when posting the answer and having to rewrite the entire answer again and post it again due to this problem.
As it is random as far as a particular time goes, it’s getting to the stage where I’m having to copy my answers before posting, just in case it is lost when I post it. At least I can then paste and repost it and it usually gets through.
I suspect that it probably doesn’t affect where you are as much (if at all) given the +16 hours time difference between us, as it mainly occurs between 7.00 p.m and 12.00 a.m PST in the USA. or if the ifixit servers are somewhere else between 11.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. AWST Perth Australia.
It has never happened after 5.00 a.m PST USA (9.00 p.m AWST Aust) or maybe I’ve just been lucky ;-)
Cheers
UPDATE:
Hi @kyle,
As luck would have it since I reported the problem it didn’t happen again for a while but now it is happening more frequently again

Can you find out why the Answers Forum is experiencing so many “ifixit unexpected downtime” episodes lately? (since the start of the new year at least)

It’s getting a bit frustrating answering questions only to lose them and having to redo the whole answer again when posting due to this problem.

As it is random as far as a particular time goes, it’s getting to the stage where I’m having to copy my answers before posting, just in case it is lost when I post it. At least I can then paste and repost it and it usually gets through.

I realize that it probably doesn’t affect you where you are as much (if at all) given the +16 hours time difference between us, as it mainly occurs between 7.00 p.m and 12.00 a.m PST in the USA. or if the ifixit servers are somewhere else 11.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. WST Perth Australia.
