    I think it is possible that posts are not currently reaching the group, whether or not they were from whitelisted posters.

    The moderation server, chiark, has been very unstable for many days now;
    it has been hard at times to process posts. But now I agree they seem to
    have stopped going through altogether.

    It looks like the last post that actually made it through to the group
    was JNugent's of yesterday at 19:03, which was approved at 20:2x.

    Fourteen posts have been approved since then and none of them have
    arrived at the group.

    Posts still reach the moderation queue but after being accepted by the
    mods those posts still don't reach ULM. Currently the queue is empty.

    Do you need a post or two for test purposes?

    empty.

    My missing post (made at 27th Dec at 21.3X hrs) appeared today (29th Dec around midday) showing the original timestamp.

    Although it wasn't in time to stop me reposting it at 11.15 hrs today.

    I think those posts have now propagated correctly. Chiark had an issue
    over the weekend, which (inter alia) left the news server in a slightly
    odd state; and I've been away myself.

    Thank you, Matthew.

    Thank you also to all the Mods, and I promise to be nice for the rest of
    the year :-).

    Could you perhaps take a look at the web server as well, or chiark in
    general? It's been very unreliable for weeks now. (e.g. frequently
    getting "connection timed out" on https requests.)

    I think like many web-servers, it sometimes gets abusively scraped; but
    I've not encountered problems with its web interfaces for a while now...

    Nevertheless, it is having problems and has been for some weeks. It must
    be affecting all the web services it provides because of course at the 'connection timed out' stage the browser won't yet have identified what
    site it's trying to access.

    Before saying anything else, may I take this opportunity to thank you, Matthew, for the work you do behind the scenes to keep things running
    for us all.

    I can confirm that I could not access the moderation queue for large
    periods of Monday evening this week.

    As per Jon's description, be connection was timing out.

    However, since then, things seem to have been better and I haven't
    experienced any timeouts when attempting to access / process the
    moderation queue

    Thanks
