Board Load Error

by Jemma Tiquelle 8/8/2009, 05:19

When I type in the URL for my forum, comes up with 'page load error' (firefox) 'oops! this link is broken' (google chrome), basically an error message. It's not loading for me or any members (the ones I've spoken to).
Link is in my profile (don't know if I'm allowed to post it here or not). I've tried our domain name & our original .forumotion.com domain name and neither is working.
Is there any general forumotion work going on which could explain it or is there another reason it's not working?
I know that we could have been hacked...just hoping there could be another reason, I guess.
Thanks in advance for any help!

(If this is in the wrong section, sorry, I wasn't really sure where it should go. Tell me where it should go if not here.)

Edit: Happened around 3.30am 8th August GMT.
URL: http://www.pottersarmy.net (before we got the domain, http://www.pottersarmy.forumotion.com)
The forum is still somewhere, as I tried to sign up again with the same domain and it said name taken. Good sign, I s'pose.

Any help greatly appreciated. Message me on here/email me (under msn on profile) if you have anything that could help. Thanks!

Edit2: FIXED!! I kept getting a variety of messages, but now it's working. Hope it stays like this. Topic can be locked now ^_^.

Hi,

this is in the right place Wink

This is forumotion as well - it cannot be hacked Wink

So, could you please inform us of your forum's URL/S please.

You may PM me if you wish to keep it a secret...that's your discretion

Hmm.

I'm not getting a forum either .....

Can you tell us how long this has been happening for, if it has been inexcess of 12-24hrs please?

by Jemma Tiquelle 8/8/2009, 05:51

No longer than two hours, I'd guess an hour-hour and a half. Not too long.

Hmm....ok.....

This might just be a temporary error in the DB ( DataBase ), so we may just have to sit on it until it works again.

by Jemma Tiquelle 8/8/2009, 05:59

Do you have any idea how long that could be?
I wish I had a list of everyone's emails on my harddrive. Sigh. I'll have to spread the message via word of mouth, I guess.

Can anyone else help in any way?

I'm sorry, but I don't know how long this will take.

I am doing some research, but because of time differences, there's no information flowing through until 2-3hrs time, for me.

Ok, no worries. I just don't want to loose all my members due to downtime. I'm just wondering if it would be worth sending out a mass email to the email addresses that I have or not. Hm.

It's been like this for an hour and a half. Ony of my members just told me.
