Scary... well if it's scary I guess I'm not so used to having Server Errors that often.  ::)
Maybe you should contact a Staff member here. They could know the answer to your problem.

I'm sure they know there is a problem since it is affecting Servers 2, 3 and 4 that I know of.  SMFFF mentioned trying something new/testing on the servers but not sure when he was planning on it.

I have three forums, two of our three are experiencing the "blank" screen thing. I have a feeling this is an SMF thing and not just one server. One of my forums is on 2, one on 3, and one on 4. Server 2 is working, but very very super slow. Server 3 and 4 are coming up blank when URL's are entered. I really do believe that it'll be back up as soon as SMF is able to. No worries from this end.

Hmm. Well if he's planning some testings we should just wait and be happy. :D Because all we know he'll be adding some features that the members here have really wanted! :)

I don't think he is adding anything, rather researching and fixing the numerous access errors the servers have been having.

Oh.. Like that one error that always happens to me. It's like "404 Error" blah blah blah. Wow if he fixes that I'll be happy for sure because that was happening to me a lot.

I don't really know. Maybe not. It could be possible that they're too busy doing other things. I'll check to see if any Staff are online at the moment. :)

I'm online at the moment, but my guess is as good as yours guys. Obviously it is confirmed there are issues with the service right now.

Remember, we're just moderators. But the servers..our knowledge is far limited on the statuses of.

Oh.. so the mods don't really know what's happening with the Servers and when.... that's too bad. But thanks for checking in with us on our Forum Error Problem. Also do you think that any Admins would know the answers to all our Server Errors?

Yeah, the Admin would be the man that knows exactly what is going on. It is confirmed that he has been trying to use a new system the past couple of days. But as a mod, we're just here to help.

He changed over all of the forums to this new system, and it went seamlessly. Now I am wondering if the change has affected our forums.

Looks like fixing one problem has created another, again.

Well. Hopefully the new system works out fine and stuff. Also the new problem is even worse than the 404 Error that I used to get. At least with that one after 5 minutes I could get back on. This New Error has been going for about 30 minutes straight. Oh well. At least we can hope the best.  :

The moderators are just like you, as the "moderator/Admin" of your own forum. When the members see something beyond your control going on, they look to you, expecting you to know how to fix it. The best thing you can do is come here and put in a word about the problem. Therefore, the best thing the moderators here can do is tell you whatever they hear, when they are told (much like when you get a reply on when your problem might be fixed and tell your members what you were told). It's not fair to expect the moderators to know everything, when they aren't paying for, or holding the hosting account of SMF Forums. One person, and only one person, foots that bill. That's SMF Admin. And you have to be realistic and understand the he has a life as well. So this may not be resolved until tomorrow, or next week even.

I am not trying to be ugly when I say this, but honestly, if people have problems with things not always working and having to wait on a fix - you can easily buy a website and hosting service of your own and set up your own forum. All it takes is a little reading and learning (and money). For people like me, who don't have that money, and don't find it necessary to pay for such a service when you can get it free someplace like this, we're willing to wait it out. So please don't be upset at the moderators for not knowing. They are here to help with what they can. Somethings are out of their hands though.  :-\ I totally understand being annoyed though with the problems.

As for the access errors that were being spoken of, I believe those are the Access Violation PH------- errors that pop up from time to time that is being referred to. I get those sometimes, but never longer than 20 minutes in my case.
