If we had no updates, then we would be back to the very beginning of forumation.

They are well aware of the problems. Complaining that this sucks is of no use to anyone.

I guess I don't drink the brainwashing kool-aid that you're apparently drinking.

I managed to get a short statement into the homepage message of my two boards before I lost access to the ACP. Thank goodness for that, because we are ALL going to have a lot of work to do once forumotion completes yet another botched "update".

I already noticed that ALL the links of gallery images have been changed, no doubt due to the server change that forumotion never warned us about. Guess what? When this "update" is complete, if forumotion doesn't fix the links, we will all need to manually change these links for every gallery image displayed on our boards! Yippee!!!

At this point I'm waiting to see how badly my boards will be broken after this (apparently non-beta-tested) "update". This sucks.

aaa how long it will be like this?!!
i lose my patiance :||

All forums I went to were down and it took restarting my router to get them to show up but even now they keep going offline and online. This morning pms were not working for everyone and I also noticed that some members can't get on the forum but others can. It keeps saying link broken! When will this be over and fixed? I am disappointed by this updating not warning us before hand so members of forums don't freak out.

Just how would a forwarning have helped you, with unforeseen problem? Beyond, being able to warn your members of a server update, it would it would not have help at all.

It is hardly brainwashing, telling others they need to chill. But, I don't really expect you to understand. Apparently you prefer personal attacks above common sense.

A forewarning that gallery image links would be broken would have helped a lot. I could have told my members to not upload any images or avatars until after the server change was complete. And I could prepare myself for the hours of work I must do to manually change all the links.

My first post was not a personal attack. Maybe it's just a difference of my being a realist and your being an optimist. Don't know, don't care...except to note that your reply WAS a personal attack.

You mean to tell me, you actually agree with forumotion not providing advance warning of something big like gallery image links being broken? WOW.

but i still Getting The error Page !!

thank you for the new server master Typlo

-more power for forumotion...

Yes I am, the forwarning would not have taken care of the unforseen problems.

I don't believe in constant badgering forumation, when they know there are some problems, and are apparently working on them. Complaining does not fix the problem.

Can't access http://acodegeassrpg.forumotion.com/forum.htm

o.o says work or whatever tat word is is going on and its a server error...

How many hours do i need to wait??!

My forum is like this https://2img.net/h/oi33.tinypic.com/hwmhbq.png from 3.12 pm ,now is 10.34 pm
How long will be like that? :|

What are we improving and when will it be done?

Broken gallery image links was an unforseen problem?

WOW.

Doesn't matter to me now...I just made the necessary changes to my boards to reflect the new gallery image links, then saved the themes. Things are working fine now, and if forumotion reverts to the original links, I can restore the themes I had saved a few days ago when I first heard about the "update".

Oh. Complaining CAN fix problems if there are enough complaints. That's been demonstrated for countless generations. More kool-aid for you, sir?

my members with a MAC are having trouble accessing my forums is this due to the updates or another reason

til when will this be? we have something going in the fourm next weekend...

Yay! Now my forum is Super quick! Thanks forumotion!.

Same problem on Linux (with Firefox 3.5 or Konqueror). Just get a 'server not found' error. Works on Windows machines OK though, although it keeps logging people out and running slow.

it's about time we all had an update now from the admin team
not much good just locking topics and telling us to come here if there is no update

my site has been down for long enough now

my forum is dead too!!

Sorry to break it to you but , You wont get that update till next week now , as Typlo wont be here over the weekend to announce it.

My forum is now super slow and all my new emoticons have disappeared. Just reporting in. Lots of ppl use forumotion and deserve it to be working properly. I got no update so how about at least an email letting us know what is happening so we aren't inundated by members' compaints?

I don't drink Kool aid.

I will add that now that many members cannot get one altho I can. Is this a wait it out game? I would really like to report back to them
Thank you

Most of our members cant access the site either. I hope it is fixed soon.

Cant get on my forum, for those members that can get it on, it is very slow, and PM's are not being delivered.

It would have been really helpful if forumotion had sent an email or even a newsletter from the forum, advising us of the change in servers, as from experience, a change in servers will always cause problems.

I would also like to know when it will be fixed.

I totally agree Blofeld, always happens, topics locked and no update. I have been waiting 18 months now for an ap error, but dont even get the courtesy of a response, but that is another matter. Now admin are not here to help sort out the mess with a change of servers. Typical, my members would be up in arms.

My forum is quiet hard to access but i'll take it if this is for the better of our forum. So hanks Typlo and hope you'll Finish it as soon as possible so it wouldn't be hard for me to enter my site.

Haven't been able to access any forumotion forum in many hours now, i'm being forced to use proxy's which I stand against..

Any news as to when all this will be sorted?

Mine is on and off, I just can't access the Admin panel, but I think we will all have to be patient and wait guys it's a big job they are doing and they will need to get it right, I know what you are all saying here and I do feel the same in some ways but we are in the hands of the GODS

I'm reasonably confident that Forumotion will sort things out fairly soon. I do wish that they'd change the 'harmless to your forums' message though.

I understand that - what must be done, must be done, but still I would've appreciated a mass mail to all forum admins with a notification of what will be done.
That way we would be able to inform our members to expect problems and avoid the massive paranoia that's going on now.
Quite a few of my members cannot access forum and I cannot access them to tell them it's only temporary and nothing to worry about.

Well, hope it'll be done soon.
