Over the past few days I have sometimes found myself being directed to mosttriumphant and asked for a password, my old one seemingly no longer working.

Anyone know why this is? It's .......... irritating. :)

The past few days the site has not been there when I came to it, wait a few minutes and it turns up again.

I wonder if it all related. It only started after the new Dr Who was shown...

Er... I have no idea. You have to visit MT manually, there are no forwards. To make sure I've got it straight in my head, you type http://www.beex.co.uk (or beteo, or whatever) and end up at mosttriumphant.co.uk?
As for your password changing? Unless you're getting high and doing it yourself, then I can only presume someone else has access to your account, and you should change your password to a stronger one as a matter of priority.

The server sometimes gets sad. It usually notices and fixes itself within a few minutes, but in theory it could take up to half an hour.

What's happening is that I receive an email for a thread that I'm watching, saying that it's been updated/has a new message, but sometimes am taken to the login screen at mostriumphant instead of beexcellent and the password doesn't work - I get a new password sent to me and that then works (for a while at least). I don't think that anything 'dodgy' is going on, I'm pretty sure it's a server issue as the same thing has happened to people on YakYak before.

No, I've never used that feature either.
Thinking about it, both instances of the server will be sending you an email, or at least trying to. This will be what's causing the problem.
I should fix that.

Could you forward a couple of the emails to me? One that sends you to beex.co.uk and one that sends you to mt.co.uk.

ekk_the_server_is_caned at hsmx dawt corm.

Thinking about it harder, both servers should be trying to send you (and everyone else) PM notification emails, too.

Hmm.

Will send you some when I next get a notification from mosttriumphant as I usually delete them by default.

Okay, I've found the bit on Bill that notifies you of replies and made it stop, so now (hopefully) only Ted will tell you about topic updates.
Keep me posted.

If it helps, I noticed I'd stopped receiving notifications about PMs.

It probably doesn't help.
