lemonfool.co.uk seems to have been unavailable for the last day or so. Has anyone else experienced this? I've tried from a couple of ISPs (BT and giffgaff/o2) in case it's ISP related, but no different. Hope it's not permanenant. Posting here on uk.finance (which has pretty much had no posting for ages) on the off chance that others may see this, and comment, and I haven't been able to find an associated lemonfool facebook or twitter update.

Something is definitely up. Sometimes it pings, sometimes it doesn't:

I've been unable to access lemonfool.co.uk for a few days now. Tried deleting cookies but no difference. I haven't tried emailing snipped-for-privacy@lemonfool.co.uk as I would hope he is well aware of the problem and won't need the distraction. I have seen posts from Clariman on moneysavingexpert.com if that's any use. This post came up when I entered 'ping lemonfool.co.uk into my browser (Edge on Windows 10). I don't know why. Adrian
It appears to be back (as of 5 May 2025),
Due to problems with their hosting site apparently.
The problems mentioned were solved, but sadly only on a temporary basis, as they've returned with bells on over the past couple of days, as a result of which the site is now closed for a "large upgrade" -
