has the forums been down lately - Page 2

Hard core Rikki · 2 Weeks Ago

Yes, pretty annoying indeed... I was under the impression members were exempt of this message, in the past? (as an advantage of registration, iirc)

SCHUMI-4-EVA · 2 Weeks Ago

0_o no...I have often gotten that message...

been getting it A LOT more these past few days though...I can hardly access the site these past 3 days aside from the rare period where I can access a few pages in succession.

For instance just now I loaded 5 pages...and the only 4 loaded...and then the whole forum hung for like 2 minutes...

and it stops mid edits, mid everything.

then again it could very easily be my ISP.....

...and then my sig vanishes...as you can see below...

....is show your signature ticked under the post box?

SCHUMI-4-EVA · 2 Weeks Ago

You know it is squall as you have seen in most other places on the forum and providing I don't have issues making this post on this post aswell.

Squall-Leonhart · 2 Weeks Ago

must be them damn nargles.

Hard core Rikki · 2 Weeks Ago

I beleive the 'sig deattached' thing is a hiccup in the 3.7 branch apparently, that was still not fixed yet, as of rc3 (and is unrelated to the server moves and tinkering). it seems it mainly happens after a post edit.

I reattach my sig manually with an advanced edit (pretty much all my recently edited posts had that issue, in case anyone wanted a look at that)

SCHUMI-4-EVA · 2 Weeks Ago

It's only happened to me since the server move and the strange loading though...before that I could edit a post 10 times and nothing would change, my sig would remain as it should be...

**Bobbi** · 2 Weeks Ago

Rikki is right here, this is a known bug in the forum software ... a bug fix should be available soon.
About the speed issues, I'm really wondering a bit ... we have times when 300 people are on and the server crawls, and times when 600 people are on and it's real fast. Most likely something to do with mail floods, I'm working on this right now.

SCHUMI-4-EVA · 2 Weeks Ago

Thanks for taking a look Bobbi. On my end things have greatly improved so it was probably as Ref said that it was linked to our ISPs and mine has probably now finally almost completely sorted itself out so it should be smooth sailing from now onwards again.

**spdude** · 2 Weeks Ago

I called the host up and disabled daily backups (which now happen by default on new servers), also disabled all stats.

There's another bug related to some links when clicked taking users to different threads. It has something to do with the incapatability between vb 3.7 and vbseo 3.0... looks like vbseo needs to be upgraded.

Squall-Leonhart · 1 Week Ago

yeah, we removed vbseo from techzone until a proper fix has been made.

TheCloudOfSmoke · 1 Week Ago

Since the big guys of the forum is posting here, anyone have word on the new stars?

**Bobbi** · 1 Week Ago

Which new stars?

I was having a problem accessing the forum until I deleted the ngemu section from my hosts file. I had added the section the last time the forums went down as it was the only way to access the site.

RF · 1 Week Ago

My recent faceplam was having the old ngemu servers in my hosts file from when they last moved. School takes up a lot of time, so after returning to lurk I was worried to see Currently Active Users: 1 (1 members and 0 guests).

i had to tell bositman to put in the new ip address for the forums as he was posting and closing threads on the old server ;p

Yeah, due to not checking the forums because of my holiday I ended up in a ghost town when I came back. Next time put up a message for your old regulars, will you

Thankfully krissgjeng helped me out by pointing me to the correct file to edit.

Carmofin · 6 Days Ago

just wanted to point out that these days im rarely able to access the site at all, every few days for a few hours... im pretty sure its a DNS problem.

BeelzemontZero · 6 Days Ago

Hard core Rikki · 6 Days Ago

Some are still encountering an issue with the forum being unaccessible... (aka not getting redirected to the new ips)
