Big power problems in Central Auckland at the moment, wonder if they have been affected somehow

Isn't everything located in Wellington?

dont know to be honest. Could just be a coincidence. Im sure they'd have multiple datacentres across the country anyway so a single event in one location shouldnt be able to take them out I would have thought. Timing is odd though as our building has been out since about the same time as trademe has been down.

joker97: So what was it?

"We posted about some site issues earlier and these culminated in us taking the site down from 11:58am until 1pm today. We’re sorry for any hassles this caused our members.

At 11.58am we identified the root cause of the issues we’d seen earlier involved a problem with replication between our database servers. As a precautionary measure, we took the site down to enable us to resolve the issue.

We have extended all listings that were due to close between 11am and 1.30pm by five hours. For example, an auction set to close at 12pm will now close at 5pm."
