Any one have any idea how long shellac takes to dry?

Nope. It's just gone again for me. Now says "Can't access the server". Perhaps it's finally been taken down for repair.....
I can still get on and see New Content.
My other pen is a Montblanc.
And my other blog is a tumblr!
And my latest ebook, for spooky wintery reading:

Down at work too. Slightly inconvenient but no biggie. Incidentally, FPN is the only website that I frequent that has these outages.
The person who suggested the problem is with the ads may have a point. I just enabled Adblock plus on FPN and got this, a welcome change from the internal server error messages.
The Fountain Pen Network database is currently in maintenance mode.
Dearest Members and Visitors
of the Fountain Pen Nuthouse,
We appear to have a problem with our database, and are busy with some database maintenance as a result.
While this takes place, the site will out of necessity be offline.
Once the database is working properly again, you will be directed back to the Fountain Pen Network instead of to this message.
In case of questions, do please email us (see below), and in the mean time, why don't you play with some pens and inks?
See you later!
Warm regards,
The FPN Admin Team

Nothing to do with Adblock. I have had it turned on from the start and it has never caused issues on the page as far as I can tell. I too am getting the above message now, which appears to be a response from the Admin team rather than simply an automated message.
FPN expects to be back up in about an hour.
It knocked me off in the middle of a post. That'll teach me to say 'nanner-nanner.'

My message has now also changed to 'The Fountain Pen Network database is currently in maintenance mode' message.
I'll just give up until tomorrow
It's offline they are having some problems (with their data base). Maybe the Chinese are hacking their data base, beware.
We have met the enemy and he is us.

I can, once again, see some of the inane threads I took part in.
"When Men differ in Opinion, both Sides ought equally to have the Advantage of being heard by the Publick;
and that when Truth and Error have fair Play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter."
~ Benjamin Franklin
The salutation "Warm regards..." gives me the creeps.

Me too, mainly because it sounds like it's missing the word 'luke'. Now that wouldn't be very nice, would it?
