More weirdness has broken out. :dontpanic:

It seems to be very erratic today. After disappearing this morning, now it only lets people post intermittently. Given how many hours this strangeness has been going on for, I fear this may be the dread end for the world's greatest forum. See the comments section for further updates as and when they occur.

It would appear to also be afflicting other Informe forums as well. I shall report it to Informe at once and have no doubt that their team of experts will leap into action to fix it.

TCOTW said...

I have informed Informe. Can they possibly save it?

Fangirl 3 said...

Yes, I can read the forum but I get 'File not found' when I try and post :bawl:

TCOTW said...

It seems to be allowing the occasional post to appear.

Fangirl 3 said...

I shall communicate with you via these comments instead of tweeting, then :happyhedgehog:

TCOTW said...

It's best not to tweet at me, as I've totally forgotten my log-in details again, so have no way of knowing if anyone's tweeted at me or of responding to them.

TCOTW said...

It seems to be allowing posting, provided you leave a big gap between posts.

TCOTW said...

It's starting to look like, if you use the big, "Post Reply," box to post, you can post. But if you use the, "Quick Reply," box, you can't.

Fangirl 3 said...

Yes I've managed to do that now :cheer:

What is it? What's happened?

It's back but taking a long time for pages to load.

When I go the the NHOTW I get a spinning graphic and the cryptic message '102503'

Call of the Wendigo said...

I'm getting that too now, although it was fine earlier. I shall wait for an hour to see if it sorts itself out. If it doesn't, I shall contact Forumotion to see if they can fix it.

I have noticed the little favicon thing in the top left-hand side of the browser has changed. I wonder if they're doing some sort of upgrade work on their forums?

Call of the Wendigo said...

The Anorakzone would appear to be similarly afflicted.

Call of the Wendigo said...

I have just checked Forumotion's support page.

That is similarly afflicted, which means I can't report it.

Is this the end for the feisty forum hosts? :scared:

Call of the Wendigo said...

I've just checked their Twitter feed. They say they're working on it.

This is where one can find their Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/Forumotion

Call of the Wendigo said...

I have now added a Twitter feed to the right-hand sidebar, which features all the latest news from Forumotion, so visitors can see at once what the state of play is.

Fangirl Three said...

Good work Wendi :cheer:

Fangirl Three said...

I can't get on this morning - Other Brand Forumotion Forum is out of service too :(

The Call of the Wendigo said...

How is it now? It's working for me.

Fangirl Three said...

Yay! it's back

The Call of the Wendigo said...

It's not loading for me this morning - and neither are other Forumotion forums. :dontpanic:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

It's still down. Is this the end for our plucky forum? :scared:

And am I the only one who's noticed? :terrorat20000feet:

Fangirl Three said...

We all seem to be fine. We are sadly discussing your absence on the NHOTW :bawl:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

Don't forget you can all still communicate with me via the Hall of the Wendigo Refugees Thread on the old Informe forum: http://hallofthewendigo.informe.com/forum/about-the-forum-f12/new-hall-of-the-wendigo-refugee-thread-t8176.html

Fangirl Three said...

Yes, that shall be my chosen channel for Wendicomms until otherwise stated

Fangirl Three said...

forumotion is giving me 'server not found' today

The Call of the Wendigo said...

Sorry I ignored your comment, Fangy. I forgot to check the email account that this site sends comment notifications to. :bawl:

Fangirl 'Fangy' Three said...

'down for maintenance' :scared:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

Yes, it's still down. Is it the end for the plucky forum? :llama:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

Pages not currently loading. Don't forget you can still use the Old Hall of the Wendigo in times of such crisis.

'Your website will be back online soon,

The Call of the Wendigo said...

It has just come back for me. Will it stay up? :scared:

Fangirl Three said...

I've been getting the '102403' spinny gif all afternoon. But have remembered to go to the old forum refugees thread this time.

The Call of the Wendigo said...

:cheer:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

It's declaring, "Too many active requests," at me. :dontpanic:

Fangirl Three said...

"Maintenance

:scared:

And no old forum refugees thread to use now :bawl:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

:bawl:

Fangirl Three said...

The NHOTW is timing out when I try to go there :bawl:

Fangirl Three said...

It's OK now :happy:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

:happy:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

The site's down! :dontpanic:

This is what Forumotion have to say about it on Twitter:


@Forumotion

General access problem for a few minutes on the #Forumotion forums. The tech team is working on the problem. This comes from the OVH failure because no access to their service (we use them for a service against computer attacks).

The Call of the Wendigo said...

The site's down. There's nothing about it on their Twitter feed. :scared:

Fangirl Three said...

It's down again! And so is Other Brand Forum.

The Call of the Wendigo said...

I hope it's not a cyber-attack. :bawl:

Fangirl Three said...

:scared:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

It'd be quite nice if Forumotion would condescend to make a comment about it on Twitter.

The Call of the Wendigo said...

It's back! :cheer:

Fangirl Three said...

:dance:
I'll be back in tomorrow cos I never post on the NHOTW when I'm dr*nk

The Call of the Wendigo said...

None of the site's posts are currently accessible! They're all showing as not existing! :dontpanic:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

For some reason, changing browser has sorted it out for me.

Shallow said...

'Maintenance in progress...' :scared:

Shallow said...

Ooh it's working again

Shallow said...

I keep getting timeouts. The same with the Other Place which is also on informe.

Shallow said...

It's back!

Shallow said...

It's gone again!

Call of the Wendigo said...

It sounds like total chaos. :dontpanic:

Call of the Wendigo said...

It's still down, for me.

Call of the Wendigo said...

On their Twitter feed, Forumotion say they're working on it.

Call of the Wendigo said...

It's back! :cheer:

Call of the Wendigo said...

It's down again. It's a veritable roller coaster ride.

The Call of the Wendigo said...

It's not currently loading, for me. :scared:

Call of the Wendigo said...

It's gone down for maintenance during a running commentary! :bawl:

Shallow said...

I see the preventitative maintenances have begun.

Also at Other Brand Forum which is also on forumotion. Though the admin of OBP omitted to mention them...

The Call of the Wendigo said...

I wonder how long it's going to last for? :scared:

The Call of the Wendigo said...

It's down. But how long is it going to last for? :dontpanic:
