This is very disappointing......

New server #4 going to be the answer to my problems?

"Service Unavailable"

If it was not so darn much work to set up another forum I would do it.

This is just getting a bit old.

I have some suggestions for everyone having problems:

1.  Please be calm and understand that the problem will be resolved.

2.  Remember that the forums are free.

3.  Think positively!

4.  Do something else for a while and when you come back it will probably be up and running!

5.  Smile

 ;)

Guys,I really think we should stop posting about this and wait for a moderator to handle this or for the owner to get on and fix the problem.
Don't post anymore,we're posting about the same thing and it's becoming spam.

Good attitude Reality!

Another thing to consider is creating a board specifically addressing that from time to time SMF has problems, just like any other site on the net and that more than likely it is a temporary thing and for members to understand the problem will soon be resolved.

That way they don't think the site it just gone and head for parts unknown. LOL

Also....I have a feeling there is going to be another upgrade soon to resolve these problems so what I'm going to do, since my site is customized, is make sure I copy and save all my customization on the style so I can just copy and paste it back in if I have to create another one.

Does that seem like a good idea?

I have images again on server 2.  I am not sure what the problem was but I am sure we will find out later today.  Now I can get back to chasing the gremlins in my computer.

I believe we may have exhausted this subject if everyone is back up and running.

We are having some problems this afternoon and are trying to resolve them as soon as possible.  Just hang in there with us and we will try to get you back up and running.

I am merging this with the other thread.

Every little bit helps, hun.  We are doing our darndest to resolve the problems.  I want to relate something that happened to me last week and maybe it will help your stress.

I have regular websites hosted elsewhere and my forum host is here.  Last week they had a tremendous fire and power outage in Canada where my websites are hosted.  Because their support forum was down, I had no way to find out what was going on for over seven hours.  At least here you are able to come and talk to us and perhaps get some information.

Here, have a cuppa tea and a cookie.  It won't fix anything but maybe it will make you smile.
