dcdeb Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 5:50 p.m. EASTERN TIME EDITED TO ADD: dcdeb updating again, folks. I've heard from the tech people who asked me to post this: Dear Club Members "Please be patient with us while make some updates on this site. We apologize for this inconvenience, we will be up and running again in no time." So it sounds like we'll have a bit more pain and suffering tonight... Thanks for hanging in there! Remember: Relax, take it easy For there is nothing that we can do. dcdeb ==================================================== 9:33 A.M. EASTERN TIME EDITED TO ADD: dcdeb again, updating you all: As you all know by know, the MFC is having some server issues. We've been told we're moving servers, which is why some of you are here, on the new server, and some of your friends are NOT here (they are stuck seeing the old server). It'll take 24-48 hours or so to sort this all out. So while we wait... All together everyone. Take a deeeeeep breath. Seriously, don't panic. Things will be back to normal soon. I just got back on to this new server myself. And in fact last night I was on and off a few times -- that's the way these things go. Let's see if I can answer some of your questions here. Q: "How come the MFC is working perfectly from my iPhone, but I can only get the "server is broken" message from my laptop?" A: Your phone and your pc are probably drawing from different providers. I don't want to use a lot of technical terms and buzzwords (mostly because I'm not a techy person and don't want to get anything wrong ) but in simple terms, the new server has gotten through to your phone's provider, and it hasn't yet reached your computer's provider. It gets through at different rates for different people. It'll get there, don't worry, it just may take a while. Q: "I noticed that some posts were deleted and seems that an entire thread is missing!" A: Yes, in the move from one server to another some posts/data may have been lost. Some may be lost permanently (we hope not), some temporarily. People are working to restore all our files. Just have some patience. Q: "Some MFC'ers which couldn't access before the total stop watched at the users list and sent sms saying that.. it was different from what those logged in were reading! So we had like 2 forums?!" A: Yes, that's exactly what it was like. Two forums. There were some people who had already gotten through to the new server (this one here). And some who were still on the old server. Andrew shut the old server down. Now the people who can't see this new server, are seeing his "we are closed" message. So... bottom line? Don't panic. It'll all be fine soon. Hopefully in 24-48 hours. I'll try to keep you updated, I promise. Any questions, PM me or contact me through myspace: myspace.com/dc1deb Thanks so much for your patience, and for your help in spreading the word that things will get better soon! As Mika would sing: I believe that we're in this together... Don't scream... dcdeb ================================================ StandardToaster here, didn't want to bump this thread off the front page, I've talked to the new tech staff, and they now have some extra infomation about the mass addiction to this forum . I hear that they're adding a new server, and all should be well tomorrow. Please let others know that we're trying to make this go as smoothly as possible from here on. You'll know that your on the new server, as the old one will have that friendly "server is broken" message, which I will try to update with more information. Thanks for your patience! ========================= Hello MFC'ers! Well, by now you or one of your friends has probably been experiencing some problems with the forums here. We are having some technical issues that we expect will sort themselves out in the next 24 to 48 hours. Please don't panic! We'll be back to normal soon! PM me or send me a message via myspace at myspace.com/dc1deb if you have questions! dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelzy Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thank you for letting us know what's going on!! Also the MFC clock seems to be about 15 minutes fast... or is it just me?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thank you for letting us know what's going on!! Also the MFC clock seems to be about 15 minutes fast... or is it just me?? Yep, it's 15 minutes fast for me, too. It looks like the clock on the new server may be fast, which would cause that. That's just one of many strange things you all may see in the next couple days - posts, PMs and threads may go missing temporarily, along with avatars. You may also see posts that, due to technology glitches, ended up in the wrong thread. But, the wrinkles should be ironed out shortly, and we'll be good as new.
