Calling all contributors! The contributor dashboard has now been restored. Uploads are working again but new image uploads are taking a little longer to come through at the moment.
We now have confirmation that we were affected by the major data centre outage in London, which caused our site to crash. Whilst the website is now back up and running, there are still some areas of the site that are not back to full recovery just yet.
