IMMEDIATE NOTICE! Downtime expected in the next 24 hours!

Post by Peter »

There will be a minor downtime in the next 24 hours.
I'll write up a post abou what happened.

(We will move to a new, much speedier/better host. You won't notice anything. Just a minor downtime.)

To clarify: The site won't be down for a whole day, but there is no estimation WHEN the downtime will happen.

The move is not finished yet.
The site is still served out by the old host.
(I make backups as often as possible, so we won't lose a single post hopefully.)

Migration is done. The site should be speedier than ever.
Sorry guys, and thanks for the understanding.

There won't be any changes any soon. :)

What do you mean by 'no go'?
There was an error in Settings.php, but I just fixed that.

I mean, I am not able to login (from my "home PC").
I can (as you can see) login from my work PC.

The error text say:
"Sorry Guest, you are banned from posting and sending personal messages on this forum.

It's an inner filter though, this will be tough. Just send me your IP and I'll fix it.
@Onemoar: Then how are you supposed to ban them?
Especially if they escape the main filter? (And they use the same IP several times...)

Well, there's something wrong with cookies.
Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!
This ban is not set to expire.
You may continue to browse the forum as a guest.
Ctrl+F5 (or clearing cookies) and relog helps for a limited amount of time (~15 seconds)

Still an issue. Looks like I get this message when session times out.

Anyone else getting these? The site been rock solid/super-fast for me all the time.
Please, check the error log in the Admin area when this happens.

Or just notch up the time when it happens and send it to me in PM. I'll try to trace it down.

Well, I am still suffering from this.

Just now, 8:35 (Copenhagen time) I tried to login and it happened again.
The error is very (=100%) consistent.

I hope you are able to get it sorted real soon.
