FORUMOTION - Announcements and Updates/Any problems

Châtelaine wrote:Me too

So did I, I have never seen a message like that before.

It was indeed a very unusual one - which got me worried ...

I definitely felt a bit paranoid that other forums were still okay.

Same here! Ok now though.

I had trouble logging into here, Jill's and my son's tropical fish forum today. I was trying not to let paranoia take over. Because while TPTB might want to shut down here and Jill's, I can't see a bunch of American Guppies and Kissing Gouramis causing widespread national offence

As long as there is no sea bass

Is it slow for anyone else ?

You can now also have and keep more PM's in your inbox, I shall be changing it shortly, you can now have 200 instead of 50.















Dear members,

We are very glad to announce an increase in the number of private message in the inbox!!

Right now, the maximum number of private messages is 200 instead of 50

I have now set the inbox/outbox/savebox etc. for pm's to now accommodate 200 messages.

I've just written a post and got timed out, I've now lost it.

Is there anyway to retrieve it?  I was only typing for a couple of minutes.  I don't know how to look in "drafts".  Have searched but can't find anything.

This does happen from time to time.

Sometimes if you click on the back arrow at the top left of the screen, you find the message and you're able to send it.

At other times alas, it disappears and you can't retrieve it.

It's probably gone DFM, but if it is in drafts look in your pm box, at the heading at the top, it say inbox outbox sentbox drafts. (May not be that order) may have gone in there. Tine outs are if you do long posts or photos etc. or when forumotion are doing something.

I've had a look in those boxes, but can't find it.  Never mind, it's not the end of the world, these things happen on forums. I've been putting off mowing the lawn all afternoon so will go and do that instead.  

I advise to write, especially when it's a longer comment, in "Word" and then, when finished C&P into the forum.

I've told myself that in the past but never do it, it's always easier to answer a post by return until you lose the damn post again that is.

Thanks for the advice.  I will follow it in future.

I never did get to cut the lawn, I was too engrossed on here, it will have to wait until tomorrow now.

That stupid thing again, when it says I'm logged in, but not, but am (as typing)... Err, but not. But I guess I am.

But I'm not.

I've deleted my cookies on the forum but my log in name is still shown at the bottom of the page.

Thanks.

I seem to be losing posts, so far this week I have lost 2 and last week I lost 3, really strange.

From the forumotion site and announcement....

Note some forums will have slowdowns and you won't be able to get on for short periods...



A Forumotion Important Announcement


Dear members,

A Scheduled maintenance will temporarily affect our service on October 20, around 9am (UTC+2). Some forums won't be available (maintenance pages, slowdowns ...)  








Normally, it should be very short (between 15 and 30 minutes). Of course, we'll provide as much information as possible on the support and our social networks.

Thanks for your understanding Very good

Best regards
Forumotion

Just a reminder that this essential maintenance by Forumotion taking place today, so there will be slowdowns and the forum unavailable for a few mins here and there.  I see it has happened once already just a few minutes ago.

Anyone having problems? Taking ages to load, blank pages, and not loading at all.
