My Proz email and control panel unaccessible for 36 hrs. Support assigned my ticket request only 24 hrs after my request was submitted. By now no response and no results.
I also submitted a complaint about inadequacy of WEB term search last October. Support said they had referred it to developers and promised to fix it. It did not happen.

Coming up for 48 hours for me now. Lost two jobs and god knows how many emails. I was thanked for my patience after 3 hours, since then nothing.

Email is a difficult service to provide reliably (with web sites, you can just set up multiple copies: mine is on two separate servers, so as long as one of them is working, the site is still available to everyone) - Gmail do a fairly good job for free, Fastmail do an excellent job quite cheaply.

(Yes, it costs money, but they take reliability really seriously: all the mail replicated across multiple sets of servers, bought from different manufacturers, running different operating systems, in different buildings in NYC - with backup systems in Amsterdam and LA to keep things going if both NYC sites are affected by anything.)
Once you regain access, you might find it useful to set up an auto-forward rule, to send a copy of all new mail off to something like a Gmail account. That way, if the Proz webmail is offline again, you still have Gmail's copy, so you can access everything that way instead. (Also, if you were expecting an urgent email from a client, you can just let them know "ProZ is ill, please copy anything urgent to blah @gmail.com in the mean time").
