Wonder what's going on over there? Hope everything is ok.

Globat has to be one of the most frustrating hosts to live with.

Hyperacme · « **Reply #3 on:** September 03, 2015, 05:57:17 AM »

OK ... 6:00 AM
Still down ... I'm getting worried ...

You hearing anything Gregg?

Hyperacme · « **Reply #5 on:** September 03, 2015, 03:47:33 PM »

No ...
I'll shoot Chris an email ...

Rich ... do you know what's going on ?

Hyperacme · « **Reply #6 on:** September 03, 2015, 03:55:32 PM »

Chris's reply ...

" Minor issue. , will be back up soon. "

Down again now. I shot Chris an email yesterday, said they were working on it. (Big changes coming.)

Hyperacme · « **Reply #11 on:** September 04, 2015, 10:14:29 AM »

Do a refresh Mark ... They've been online all morning ...

CharlieN · « **Reply #12 on:** September 04, 2015, 10:29:40 AM »

I am on from a thread notice. I still can not get on through the direct link even after deleting board cookies. I hope the big changes are a new host, Globat has not been good.

I'm not having any problems, can bounce from home page to forum and back, in and out from threads, bookmark/favorite works fine ...
Add a new bookmark/favorite and see if that works ...

I hope more pictures aren't lost ... The "Projects in Progress" section is lost so much info with out picture.

CharlieN · « **Reply #14 on:** September 04, 2015, 10:46:15 AM »

That worked, I added index.php to my bookmark and am in.
Pressing the "main message board" button on the homepage still is non-op for me.

CharlieN · « **Reply #15 on:** September 04, 2015, 10:49:59 AM »

And yes, loosing all the attachments truly hurts since there has been allot of good reference material there.

dorelse · « **Reply #16 on:** September 04, 2015, 10:52:34 AM »

I see pictures in the Projects thread?

Hyperacme · « **Reply #17 on:** September 04, 2015, 11:00:06 AM »

All the pictures from all the threads ?

All the attached pictures are gone.
I host my own pictures and have no loss in my thread other than the few that were attached by others.
Anyone else using outside hosts, at least the hosts that have not gone down in the recent years are still there. Sites like Imageshack that have killed off much of their hosting have done no one any good.

Hyperacme · « **Reply #19 on:** September 04, 2015, 11:21:35 AM »

Loss of pictures have rendered some very good rebuild threads almost useless ...
We suffered the same loss of attached pictures after the last forum software update, BUT it had to be done ...

I tried hosting every ones (on this forum) pictures on Photobucket, but with the amount of pictures and bandwidth I would have had to upgrade my account to a paid account, and Photobucket is "Flaky" at best ...
