Carnt remember the last time it was down for this long,
must be something serious.

[Captain Sensible]

They had some 'upgrade' or other this morning and the site always seems to crash a little after they do an upgrade. You'd think they'd stress test them in advance but seems they prefer us to do the testing

[U.F.O]

The site is back now,
but still carnt log in with gruss , It's stuck on the fetching Aus markets.
On rety 98 at the moment ha,

I guess Api is still fecked ?.

[U.F.O]

OK Actually scratch that,
the site not even working yet, carnt place bets Grrr

[Steve Voltage]

Man this sucks. I recently only got back into Betfair after a 3-4 year absence. I carnt belive that the site still has these issues.

Same here, hopefully the new version of Gruss will have a limit to how many times Gruss tries to retrieve the AUS markets, it's been a pain for years and should be a simple fix putting a limit on the tries it does.

[U.F.O]

API back working now arcording to others,

but still getting Fetching Aus markets with Gruss,

is there a way around it ???.

[Captain Sensible]

No simple way other than going to options->preferences->quick pick list and unticking Include Australian markets whilst it's trying to retrieve them. Might take a few goes to hit the right time to pull up the options menu
