Title: Problems accessing the forum?
Post by: ideasguy on July 02, 2006, 10:06:19 AM

I have noticed quite a few times that the Forum is "offline".
Have any members noticed this?

The other thing that could happen (hope not!) is that you could write up a new topic or a  reply, and the server gives an error when you go to post.
Has that happened to any members?
Tip: Do a copy of the text region before posting.
That way, you can paste it into Notepad or WORD etc if it fails, and you can save the work elsewhere and retry when the server is active again.

This forum is on the www.flowergenie.co.uk site server, so quite worrying.
Its what the server providers call "outage". Outage time should be minimal (e.g. to allow them to do maintenance and backups)
Ive reported the problem but they havent offered any reason, or done anything about it.
