I'm in the UK.  Site was down every morning last week until about 10am with error500.  Last time I got in was Friday evening. Been deaded all week-end  Has the guy whose job it is to turn the server on gone on holiday?  
If I recall correctly, the last time we had these protracted err500s was also around July 2024 which was the same time we Premium members stopped getting rewards for holding FUN.
