Problems this morning

Written by Trade Me staff at 8:04am, Thu 11 Jan 2007

Trade Me's auction site suffered a database failure at 3:50 am this morning, and was unavailable between 3:50 am and 8:05 am this morning.

All auctions closing between 3:50 am and 9 am have been extended by 24 hours. Eg. an auction scheduled to close at 6 am this morning will now close at 6 am tomorrow.

We also had some data problems between 11:55 pm last night and 3:50 am this morning. We are continuing to investigate this issue.

We sincerely apologise to all the Trade Me community for the disruption and inconvenience this outage has caused. We will post further updates here if other relevant information comes to hand.
