Forum Glitches

[articuno75]

Has anyone else besides me been experiencing glitches with the forum here lately?

I've noticed that I'm having trouble posting pics.

Also I sometimes get this "Data Error" of death widow stating that the site is not responding and the owners have been notified.

Then there is the actual forum itself. I check to see who's all online, and it's just me. BUT I know better cause there are posts going up. So when I click a name, their online button is lit. (I know their online, they just posted.)

Is the site being worked on or fixed or am I imagining everything and/or fell into some weird nightmare? Hopefully the prior.

Not complaining but have had the same problems as well.

[articuno75]

See right now I'm only showing 4 people online. You, me and 2 guests. I know better. Kevin is online for a fact....He just posted.

[articuno75]

Now it's only showing Kevin. And I know you're still online.

They are swapping to a new hosting service shortly due to the inconsistencies of the present host.

Also they have had a large number of security breaches since being with this host, that's what has caused the outages.

Hopefully once the database is transferred to the new host everything should be honk dory.........hopefully.

It is all being worked on at the moment
I have made a note of each glitch and passed that information on

Jenny how long have you been see guests that arent there?

[Sharyn]

LOL - "guests who aren't there."

I too have experienced trouble for several days, a number of different things. I'm sure once the new server is in place, we'll all be back to normal. Did I just say that? Normal?

[jbigio]

[Sharyn]

I too have occassionally seen guests who weren't really there - and I'm not talking about the forum! You done good jbigio -

[Anton]

Sharyn............ you've been through too many "winter rations" me thinks.

[Tony]

Heck, I bet we have all had guests we wish we couldn't see. Then there are the guests who come and never leave. LOL Tony

No disrespect to the likes of Fred and Dave, who I'm sure are endlessly frustrated by such security breaches, but I do find some humour in the pathetic nature of hacking a gardening forum. Reminds me of the OSCOV forum that was hacked a while back with the main page replaced with a "YOU HAVE BEEN HACKED" banner.
Stick it to the man, Buddy!

database error is what I just got again while accessing the site. if I hit refresh it fixes it.

I too have had the "database error" on several occasions recently, but have mnaged to get onto the site after a couple of tries.

I thought I was doing something wrong when I was trying to upload my pictures and it did not work. Guess it was not me after all....lol. Will upload them as soon as I can.
