Did we have an outage?

Post by Ranchero50 »

Both my Windows 10 desktop and Windows 7 machine at work wouldn't load the forums for .com or .net but tonight my house Xp machine brought them up. Was it only me or?

Yeah it was down for over a day Thursday or Friday and I was having issues this morning too...

Keith was working on it.

It's been problematic for me on my phone, tablet and desktop for about four days now. Seems okay now.

There was a post on the FORDification Facebook page that explained there was a "file" issue with the host server so they took the pages down to scan everything. If you haven't visited the Facebook page, it's worth it (unless you don't Facebook, that is). It almost seems more active than the forums.

No book of faces for me. It might be worth posting there that I needed to delete my cache to get the new page to load on the Windows 10 machine.

I was able to get on from an email reply link.
The bookmark in my favorites wouldn't work. Once I got on I re-bookmarked.

Me too.

In very simple terms, the host was having issues with one of the templates that was in use. Keith had to remove pages (this is likely why some of the literature pages are 404 as well) so the host would reenable the site.

Perhaps the template was used more heavily over there since that site is newer.

Keith said he was working on fixing it.

Any progress on the forums ?
I can get on the site and some pages but still no forum access.
I even tried a different computer but no luck.
