KrymSIX Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Had that same Apache/Amazon Linux error page earlier today. Was using Chrome on an Android phone. Has been running flawless since about 6:30 or so this evening. Thanks for getting it all back up and running for everyone in short order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 IP was in the process of moving the forums to a faster system. In the midst of the move, they aborted due to the shear size of our forums. So it took a while for the DNS to re-propagate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wouldn't want your 10 year-old to read it, please don't post it. I'm not sure where this kind of language violates the guidelines, but it sure sounds like it violates something.

Steve RA Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm not sure using "shear" for sheer qualifies for that reprimand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Seems to me that many IP providers do actually SHEAR us .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I told my man at IP that the forums were real snappy today, and asked him if we are still on the old system. He said: Hello, Yes they are still on the old side, we have completed the new changes needed for sites with large content though on transfers, so we will be processing yours in the next week or so. We'll let you know though, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Well that just really bugs me! Just typed a lengthy product recommendation and hit submit and got an internal server error like the forums were down. Seems to have only been out a few minutes. PC windows 10 this time. I'm also submitting replies and the window says "saving" then 15-20 seconds later post will go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, all in all, not a real "problem", only an inconvenience for a FREE, GREAT SERVICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 I think Chuck posted it but can't find it now. How do I make sure I don't lose what I have typed? I just rewrote the product review and it won't load now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Sarge, I sent my man at IP the link to your post. We'll see if he has anything for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 His reply: Hello, If he is seeing that message, that would mean his DNS is not updated, however, he is posting on the new site, so that means his dns is updated, unless perhaps he is using a different machine or device when it works. This would indicate if that is the case, and one or more devices are not updated yet, that his ISP has very slow DNS to update, give it another day or so it should self-resolve, restarting the device will also clear out any cached dns.

Right click on your text and pick "Select All" from the context sensitive menu options... Then put your cursor in the blue selected (highlighted) area and right click again... Pick "Copy" this time... This will put your typed text into the Clipboard... If you have trouble, open Notepad and paste your typed text into a blank document. That will save you from typing it in again... You could also right click on a BEnos post and paste yout text into it once things are working again... This assumes you are using some version of Microsoft Windows... Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
