Site Update

Post by PaulH » October 3rd, 2006, 6:20 am

I know many of the regulars have had questions about the forum's reliability at the moment. Our host has been experiencing load problems recently, which prompted a significant upgrade program for them. Between planned and unplanned outages it's not been the easiest ride, and while the first phase is over and things should be much improved we can't guarantee that there won't be more issues for a while. For the full story you can read their blog post, and follow the latest at their status page.

While I'm on the subject, here are a few stats about c2forum.com:
  • 167MB of data (a lot for a site that's basically text)
  • Almost 5GB per month of data served (around a CD's worth every 5 days)
  • Almost 73,000 posts (~360 per day)
  • Almost 3,500 users (surprisingly few of them spam-related)
(update: fixed URLs!)

Hi

I have been unable to access the personal log, no matter what I do it just gives me a blank screen with this message:

error '80020009'
/sranking03/include/ranking_nav.asp, line 83

I am told I should try to delete the cookies on Windows but I am not one to go into Windows and manually delete anything...

I am at my wits end, this has never happended with ANY other site...

???

What browser are you using? If you're using Explorer you should in any case be using Firefox or Opera, so switching might make this go away anyway.
