Problems With The Forums - Is It Just Me?

[chibam]

@moderator  You might already be aware of this, but incase you aren't, I've been having troubles with the SANE forums all day.

Early this morning, I couldn't get on at all (I just kept getting a 403 Error screen); and now, for the past half hour or so, it's been taking me ages to move from page to page on here. My computer just seems to sit on a screen that says "Your request is currantly being processed...", before eventually taking me to where I want to go.

I don't think the problem's on my end, as I haven't had any other internet troubles today.

If it's on SANE's end, I thought I better let you know, just incase you hadn't been notified yet.

Not just you @chibam but thank you for flagging it!! There's been issues with the system since this morning, we've got the IT gurus working on it, but yeah stuck with the snails spinning the wheels instead of the usual hamsters. Teehee. 

Hope you're well my friend 😁

All good, @Jynx . 🙂

I hate to be a fuss-pot, but I also think it's important to notify people, just incase.

A year or so ago me and a half-dozen or so of my neighbors had a blackout about 9 in the morning. By 5pm, the power company hadn't so much as shown their faces, so I called up to ask how long they expected us to be out for. Turned out, they had no idea we were blacked out - it hadn't come up on their monitors. If nobody phoned in to tell them, we'd have been blacked out forever!

So subsequently, I tend not to assume that a supplier automatically knows that I'm having trouble with their service. Probably means I come off as being more complain-y than people would like, though. 😕

@chibam no no, someone's gotta be a fuss-pot or there'd be no standards anywhere!!

I do totally agree, and I was thinking on making an announcement, however the issue has been so sporadic and only in last hour was actually affecting the whole platform; and of course as soon as I did decide to write a post, the forums were back up! 

Ach, good on you! You've got lots of initiative to get stuff sorted and to ensure everyone is being looked after! It's a wonderful quality 😊

@chibam 

I've been getting it since late last week and notification issues on and off for a couple of weeks. These are the most frequent ones.

[chibam]

Yeah, @avant-garde , that first one is exactly the one I've been getting.

Thankfully, haven't encountered that "unable to complete" one yet. 🤞

LOL! I literally got the error for the first time while I was typing that line out! LOL!
