I just wanted to post a heads-up that we will be performing maintenance on our server starting at about 11pm EST. The forums and homepage may got offline around that time; if downtime does occur, be sure to check our facebook page for the latest status updates.

Edit: all maintenance has now been completed

Thanks for giving a heads up!

Thanks Adam. Since I'm not a Facebook user, I'll just have to wait until the site resumes.

It was awful!




(:

Yup, it certainly wasn't fun- and at this point I'll probably just have to postpone bedtime until tomorrow night The maintenance isn't done yet, but hopefully we'll be able to take care of the remaining tasks without having to take the forum offline!

Ho there was a notice, I simply missed it.

I cannot access the site from my PC, but it works on my phone. I still get the hosting service page on PC.

I can't access the site through the "favourites" bar on my PC or by Google search, but I can through clicking on the links in the email notices.

I didn't read this beforehand and wondered if the site had been blocked at work.
But now all appears well. Adam, you're fast - APUG has been down all weekend!

I think I figured it out. My favorite was saved as pentaxforums.com. If I type

Code:

www.pentaxforums.com

, it works. So, try it with the WWW. If it works, redo your fav.

Sorry r0ckstarr, that doesn't work for me.

It was horrible. it was a catastrophe.....tens of thousands of squirrels were screaming their little lungs out an declaring the world was ending. Others were claiming it was a conspiracy and the many hundreds of squirrels already roaming on PForums were now locked in and were going to be skewered and roasted by their enemies. Panic was everywhere, the screaming and squealing was deafening around here....Otis was preparing his Giant Army for an all out assault to take back PForums for all of humanity...and the squirrels, of course.

Then it all came back smooth and easy, works perfectly and you'd think it was never even down. Not a peep out of the squirrels...they just went back to molesting bird feeders and eating the trim on the neighbors house like it never happened.

Not a bad thing....a little excitement is always welcome around here! Do it again anytime.....

Regards!

Sorry r0ckstarr, that doesn't work for me.

I took a leave of absence for 9 hours. I am back now and everything works on my PC. Are you still having problems accessing the site?

[Adam]

If you still can't access the site on your pc, try performing a hard-refresh (control+f5). That should clear your browser cache and re-request the correct version of the site.

Thanks Adam and r0ckstarr - things seem to be working OK now.
