Hi Ivo
Perhaps you can give me some advice. Normally when designing a new website I set the site to offline and work away on the website behind the scenes. However for some strange reason over the past week my server is showing Error 503 page when a page is offline - works perfectly fine when the page is not offline - see example http://kathleens.forandesign.com/.
I contacted the server who said it was a cPanel update and it would fix itself but this has not happened. I thought I read somewhere that the Joomla offline page was 200 not 503 but I'm no expert here.
Is there a way I can get the offline page to show for the 503 error?
thanks in advance.
