I think it's the BBC boards in general, Bryn.  The same message comes up with all the R4 boards I've tried to look at in the last 15 mins or so.

Obviously a rush of Valentine messages on the boards over there has swamped the server. 
And I think "Ecudorion" was trying to send me one, too Wink

Just got a very brief look-in at Platform 3. Last post was 52 minutes beforehand. When I tried to look at the CD Review board I eventually got "The following error occurred: An unknown error has occurred". Great error message, eh? Wink

The BBC Radio 3 boards seem to be available again, but no posts for the past hour, except on The Choir board, which has two, fairly equally placed, over that hour.

I know!  I bet the service was provided to the black-tie brigade, though...   (etc ad nauseum...)

iSquint gives two buttons when something hasn't worked. They're marked 'Denial' and 'Acceptance'. Of course neither has any effect beyond dismissing the error window.

Silly of course, but not much sillier than the good old choice between 'OK' and 'Cancel'...

isquit seems a pretty decent app.  Admittedly I think I've not watched more than 1 hour of video footage on the ipod.
