I tried the advanced search and the page is a dead link.
I went into the big block forum and I get the same thing...

The website cannot display the page

HTTP 500
Most likely causes:

• <LI id=causeSiteMaintenance>The website is under maintenance.
• The website has a programming error.

What you can try:

[IMG]res://ieframe.dll/bullet.png[/IMG] Refresh the page.

[IMG]res://ieframe.dll/bullet.png[/IMG] Go back to the previous page.

I'm getting the same for "Quick Links"/ todays post

 

I am also experiencing this problem. Hopefully it is something that Omicron can figure out...

 

I am having problems with almost everything other than going direct to a thread.

Welcome to the site Rich. Sorry the site has been having function issuses and you had such a hard time getting registered. Normally this place is pretty smooth.

 

I am having the same issues with New Posts.

 

When I hit quick links it opens a drop down list,when I select todays posts I get a message that cannot display.

 

The "new posts" gives nothing but a blank page, but IE says "done".

 

I've had luck going to the threads manually. Of course, it takes longer. Hopefully it will be resolved soon.

 

This is really getting frustrating. I hope it is fixed soon. Can we get an update as to what is going on?

 

I am SO LOST without the "new posts" button!

 

Same here, not that it worked before. I would log on and it would say 132 new post. Click on it and I would get 26 new post. Whats up with that? JKaz

 

Is anyone even looking into this?

 

Come on guys, just tell us something. These problems have been going on for a while now. Hope you can get it fixed.

 

I can't find a post that another member made throught the user CP. Any link in the user CP is broken.

I'm beginning to see how site ownership by a large corperation has been such a wonderful benifit here. And don't tell me I'm not the only one thinking it.

Yep, I am having the same problem with the "New Post" button, when I click on it it says that I have to wait 15 seconds between searches and to try again in 7 seconds.

 

Well, at least I'm not the only one. It's happening here at home and on the work computer so I figured it was something in my profile, which nothing has changed. Tried logging out, clearing cookies and all that and still can't get the new posts.

Pls fix! I'm nearly going into withdrawal here!

Yah John, I'm thinking it too. It's like Clear Channel Communications radio stations- they start off kicking *** and in a few weeks are down to the same playlist of 100 songs or so. Outsized corporate entities are rarely efficient but when they have the market in a stranglehold, not much average Joe can do.

Somebody, somewhere, can fix the problem. If they can't maybe we should look into a new host?

 

John, I will admit thinking that. The thing I am finding really frustrating is [U]NOBODY is saying a thing about fixing it. Very unlike Dan and Omnicron.

 

Same problem on "new posts" for two days, I have been using the back button to get back to the posts.

 

It's possible that there is something going on beyond thier control. I know I personally have had some email server problems over on OP that I just can't seem to fix. New software would probably do it, but I'm not (nor my counterpart) going to shell out $700 for software that MAY fix it. But that is a privately run site where there are but one or two sponsors and the rest is out of pocket.

I'm not saying they are doing nothing, I'm just saying they may not have the run of the place like they once had, and now have to go to the "boss" for the fix, and its low on the totem pole.

John

 

They are the new host. They own the site, and all the software and files within. There is no one (now) that can pick up and move the site to another server other than IB.

John

 

It is a programing issue. As long as the site is up I doubt that anyone cares on the other end.

 

People get pissed, traffic goes down, ad revenue goes down, sponsors leave, site shuts down. It can't get much more straightforward.

 

This time it read that an internal server would not connect,still can't get to new posts or quick links.
I guess its still busted.
IS THERE A DOCTER IN THE HOUSE

 

Oldsguy is going to contact IB. Hopefully they can fix the issue.

 

What is a Post ***** to do ...

 

X2. This sounds like a partial meltdown like we just went through. But we still survived. Let's have some faith in the IT guys. I'm sure they're as frustrated as we are, and it's highly unlikely they haven't noticed the problem by now. But if they don't know the answer, it would be premature to post. IMHO though, it would however be nice to hear "working on it, please be patient. Don't know how long it will be.....Thanks for understanding".

 

Same with new posts for 3 days now. Getting to be more trouble than it is worth.

 

An e-mail has been sent to Paul (Omicron) plus Dan is working on this as well. Hope to have resolved soon

 

Thanks Pat, good to know. All we want for Xmas is our CO back!

 

Hey Hey, the new post button is working for me tonight!

Hope is back to normal!!!

 

Its alive again!!!!

It looks like the admins have finally won the war against the evil website gremlins, and saved many sanities of many CO members!!

Good work guys; now - lets keep them away from here!

 

Mine is working too!! That's Oldsmobile style service!!!

 

I addressed this and similar issues/complaints on another thread, just didn't see this one as well. I contacted IB via an e-mail and it has since been fixed.

 

And we soitenly apprecialate it!

If no one else says it, THANK YOU!

I was starting to go into withdrawal...

 

X2

Thanks for ALL you do
