Update: Main Site NOT Down
Well, for some reason the main page is now sporting an Error 500 message after I updated to the newest version of Wordpress. I have no idea what went wrong, but at least the forums are still up.
I have no idea how to fix it, but I'll try my best...

Re: Main Site Down
Error 403 for me.
Hopefully you'll manage to fix this but take your time to spend most of it with your family so close to Xmas.

Re: Main Site Down
I'm not sure what is going on right now but somehow it changed into a 403 error. I'm in the middle of setting up a new installation and transplanting all the old files, might take me a while.

Re: Main Site Down
Okay. Things are utterly wrecked and I don't know what to do except tearing down the whole Wordpress installation and starting from scratch, with faint hopes of reuploading the old files. This will take a while, I hope I can get this sorted out over the holidays.
Thanks for your understanding. Happy Holidays, everyone!

Re: Main Site Down
Don't stress Philipp. Enjoy Christmas with your friends and family. The site can wait. I'm sure there will be a solution once you speak with the customer service people.
Cheers,
Vincent

Re: Main Site Down
Thank you Vincent!
It's a relly weird problem to be sure. A new fresh Wordpress installation has the same 403 error... I suppose there are some server-side permission settings gone wrong.

Re: Main Site Down
Okay, five minutes with tech support restored the website as it was. It appears at the moment there's still some minor issues, but it seems we're on the way back to life.
Edit: Five more minutes with Tech support restored full functionality. I hope it stays that way, poor lad on the phone made no guarantees.

Re: Update: Main Site NOT Down
Thanks for enduring the downtime
I'm glad things have been sorted out without me having to rebuild everything from scratch, for a while I was certainly fearing it.
