An upgrade to the system broke the authentication system which DearDiary.Net uses and unfortunately took a lot longer to trace down than usual due to a complete lack of any error logging, coupled with a reboot attempt (which sometimes works but rarely!) totally failing because the server would not restart.

Diary Notifications had stopped working again.
