Forumotion white pages
Hello,
I just wanted to say that was crazy, you guys at forumotion need to fix your servers... Almost if not all forumotion sites were just down for nearly an Hour On Christmas EVE?
I would like some answers as I am sure plenty of other forum owners would as well.
Thanks Brandon
P.S you should check the forumotion Facebook page if you do not believe me.

Oh good, that means I am not losing my mind. I guess it was black out for everyone then.
Re: Forumotion white pages
Oh my god, I was going to panic with all the work I did.
Good thing I wasn't the only one having this problem.

Re: Forumotion white pages
Is it now working fine for everyone? I am hearing reports from various other support forums that members are getting access normally now.

Unfortunately we can't give any information as I'll be honest and say we don't actually know much more than you as we are volunteer staff and all I knew was it was being dealt with as our Pro Admin is out of office for the holidays and we therefore don't get any direct updates.
All I can do is apologize and hope that it doesn't go down again.

Re: Forumotion white pages
But derri this is getting scary... Say the servers did NOT come back up on their own, with forumotion Admins on vacation during the holidays, we would not be able to access the SUPPORT or OUR forum. It is very concerning to, as an admin our only duty is to keep our forum running smoothly on cylinders 24/7. This server issue is a big deal, We can not PREVENT it from happening, we CAN NOT FIX the issue, and if the server were to never come back up, their is not diddly squat we can do about it. I mean our forum users consider their admins the highest people in charge... if the site goes down becuase of something OUT OF our control then it reflects BAD ON US. This server problem could keep us administrators from doing our JOBS. We go from very powerful people, to very powerLESS people in the flick of a switch.@Derri wrote:@brandon_g wrote:Yes Derri all systems are go now... we just want some explanation for why on Christmas Eve their is the worst server crash ever?

The fact that we can not do anything about this is what concerns me the most. And it appears to just keep getting worse. Each time it happens it takes down more and more forums with it. Each time it takes the servers longer to recover. What are we to do to keep our forums safe?
I am tired of the cat and mouse games with the forumotion admins. When they get back from leave I want ANSWERS! I of course do not blame the volunteer staff at all once so ever! I hope you all have a great holiday and thank you for your service... as for the forumotion admins on the other hand... I do NOT wish them a happy holidays. I request 2 things from the admins when they get back
1. A FULL EXPLANATION!
2. I WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED 100%.
thanks and happy holidays to anyone who is not a PAID employee of forumotion.

Re: Forumotion white pages
Strange....some members had trouble getting in (including me) A white page is all we get. One member said she got an intrusive advert.
I can access my forum using Chrome but not my normal Firefox browser. I will try to clear casche to see if that works.

Re: Forumotion white pages
Mine was down for a couple hours today. I came over here, read this thread, went back and refreshed, and now we are back.
So, those of you that are wrestling fans, come say hi!

Re: Forumotion white pages
It was down for me for like 2 hours. I own 2 different forums and am a mod on another and non were working at all. All seems ok now.
Re: Forumotion white pages
See, Like everyone was affected, and forums are appearing on some browsers but not others, So in other words yes the server is back UP! but is still a guessing game on how to access our stuff.
Forumotion needs get their butts back in that office ASAP, WE WANT ANSWERs, everyone, even if your forum is back up please report it if at all went down. because it will show just how bad this problem is getting!
happy Holidays to everyone (except the forumotion admins)
Thanks- Brandon

Re: Forumotion white pages
@brandon_g Considering the time, they're probably out of office, except maybe for a skeleton crew. Regardless, even though they're paid employees they're still human. I made a stop by the French support, and a few members had a similar problem. However, there is no official word on what caused it, again, most likely because they're out of office.
Re: Forumotion white pages
@ Ange I understand they are still human, and they are all on vacation I believe, but this issue has been reported and they have not resolved it. I am not saying it is any body's fault even the admins, I am just saying to give us a full explanation and fix it. As soon as humanly possible. I am okay with bugs and errors, mistakes are part of life, but this should have at least have stablilized, and I just want it fixed is all.
Thanks brandon and happy Holidays

Re: Forumotion white pages
As i posted on another similar topic, i found by refreshing your forum if you get the white page seems to fix it, but telling your members to do that is awkward.
Re: Forumotion white pages
i don't think it had to do with formulation it probably had something to do with the tornado's that touched down it probably took something down somewhere and cause some forums to not show in the usa
Re: Forumotion white pages
forum is still down it has been down for almost 12 hours!

Re: Forumotion white pages
steven,musket,mario ..all of your site loads fine for me try to clear your cache
Re: Forumotion white pages
I've also got the same problem. Bizarrely, I can view the admin control panel and can see that members are coming into the forum, though all I can obtain is a blank page when I click on the board pages.
Hopefully, this will be resolved quickly, it's been 24 hours now.
Merry Christmas guys.

Re: Forumotion white pages
Both my forums are down
. Is this related to the problem I opened a thread about some time ago but which has now been moved to "Garbage" before it was resolved: http://help.forumotion.com/t136962-my-site-is-blank?nid=9#926074 
This is REALLY disappointing.

Re: Forumotion white pages
My forum southwalestrailriderforumotion.net
Is still down.
Going on for 16 hours now.
I thought it maybe something to do with my PC but I'm not the only person that can view the site, just a white page.

I do not believe this 1 bit, From what I have read their were forums in many other countries besides the USA that went out last night, I also would not bleive even that were not so... I live New Jersey, I have hard to believing that a tornado like 5 or 6 states away could spread that far and wide. I am glad to see everything functioning great now though.
