Forum Downtime

And we're back! :)

Apologies for the downtime over the last two days. We had a hack attempt which resulted in the decision to take the Forum offline until the problem was solved. IPB have just released a patch for the forum software, so we're back, fully protected!

I'd also like to reassure you that no user data was compromised during this time.

Thanks for understanding, and keep enjoying our software :)

MrG

Are avatars broken? It's not working when I try to upload one.

There may be a few teething issues, so add your forum problems to this post and we'll get them fixed.

Avatars are now fixed, although we're having DNS update issues now, so site is running in an iFrame until fixed.

Having real difficulty signing in, only way I can sign in is if I DON'T use the forum main page to sign in from. In other words if I go for example to the Software page of the forum I can sign in there

Keep getting signed out if I refresh the page.

Cannot go to a thread and copy the link to paste elsewhere, it just shows link for main forum page in address bar instead of thread link.

(testing smilies :wacko: Okay now but cannot view smiles made in posts before the forum went down)

Little dropdown arrow next to member name on top right-hand side of page is missing.

Advanced search button missing.

Open quick navigation icon missing.

PM notifications icon missing.

Thanks for the update.

There are quite a few things not working.

Same sign in issue as hazel.

Couple of icons missing from next to username at the top of page, although mousing over that area shows the two spots are "active" ...

Clicking a link to another forum page gives this ...

Can't get rid of "Recent Topics" window on the main page. After clicking it away, it's back again on returning to the main page ...

And I'm using PixPipeline for these images as I don't have a forum upload tool at all. Gone missing!

EDIT: The upload tool has returned. :lol:

EDIT 2: I keep getting signed out as hazel states above.

If I open any page from the forum in a new window it shows

http://ccleaner.ipbhost.com/index.php

in the address bar.

This is strange.

The two icons missing at the page top are there if I follow hazels link above ...

but are missing everywhere else with any page I open. Weird.

And the forum uploader is missing again. Weirder.

I dunno if it's you fixing stuff as you go MrG, but the "Recent Topics" section now stays closed when I return to the main page.

EDIT: And the two missing icons up top are now back.

Seems to be evolving as we write. For a moment the messenger and notifications buttons were present but not visible, the whole bar was the same color. Then they were there. Now they're not. Looks like they aren't there if writing a post but they are if just reading one No idea what that menas, hope it helps.

It seems that at the top level of the forums the messenger and notifications buttons are visible.

At the next level down, "Announcements" (Piriform Community Forums ---> General ---> Announcements) they are visible,

But at the next level down "Forum Downtime" (Piriform Community Forums ---> General ---> Announcements ---> Forum Downtime) they are not visible, but they are there.

If I try to change pages within a topic by clicking the little page numbers I get this. th_piri_forums_error1.jpg

Same thing if I try to go directly to any other page than page one.

Sorry for your troubles, you guys have done an amazing job getting the site back up. Glad no data was lost.

Well, phooey, the information in post 13 just above is wrong.

That error doesn't seem to apply to all topics.

Only happens when I try to go to page 2 of my topic about dual booting,

A few theething issues ?

I know that I posted this already in a different thread but all of my shortcuts to the Piriform forum don't work any more. And I have two scrollbars on the right hand side of the computerscreen when I visit the forum.

Edit:

1. Scrollbar issue seems to be solved.

2. Webadresses all have changed. No wonder my Favourite Piriform shortcuts don't work any more. Any plans to use the old webadresses again ?

3. Notification system seems to be working as it should.

This was answered above. They're waiting on DNS changes to fully propagate, which usually takes a couple of days.

I still have the double scrollbar on the right.

Logins fixed. DNS pending

Logins fixed...confirmed here.

DNS and logins now fixed. :)

Some other minor errors are likely.
