Forum & Site back up and running...sort of

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Fri Oct 22, 2004 10:48 am

Echoing my announcement from the main page:

The dynamic server is fixed and back online, so we're back in action. Once again, I apologise for the inconvenience and the bad timing, but I assure everyone that it's the last thing I wanted to happen.

You may still encounter problems whilst viewing and posting in the forum, but they will hopefully be ironed out soon. For all forum members, I highly recommend that you change your password as soon as possible.

Thank you to everyone for your patience, hopefully we won't have any problems like that ever again. If you have any further questions or want to report a problem, please drop me a line.

why would we have to change our passwords?

glad to see NLSC back, that was really too bad the site was down while Live 2005 was just released!

Perhaps for security reasons, it's just a suggestion. Do it if you want to be safe.

Better safe than sorry they say. :wink:

So far when I click the 'view new posts' button 2/3's of the time I get an 'action cancelled' page. Is that just one of the problems being ironed out.

by **Sauru** on Sat Oct 23, 2004 5:53 am

yeah when i click anything i usually get action cancelled msg. i have to hit refresh atleast 2-3 times and sometimes i have had to hit it a dozen times to load the page. i hope this is fixed soon as its really annoying. otherwise its nice to see it back even in its crippled state. with the pc live due out soon(has it been pushed back?) i will be coming here to try and read everyones dynasty so hopefully i cant post/read posts easy enough.

Yes, that's what Andrew has stated :wink:

"Cannot Find Server" or "Action Cancelled" are the two most common problems which should be fixed soon. The good news (I use the term lightly) is that the problem is the same for other GameSpy sites, so it's not just a problem with the NLSC. Once the dynamic server is running at full speed again, we should be fine.

Riot wrote:why would we have to change our passwords?

The reason the dynamic server was offline is it was subject to a vicious attack that comprimised the security of the whole server. As such, we've been advised that we should change all our passwords and also advise forum members to do the same, so, I am.

alright, I changed my password but I will prolly forget it in like 2 weeks.

Andrew, do you have any idea it will take to iron out the "action canceled" thing?

Ive been lossing some of my posts to it so its abit annoying for me.

by **truSt** on Mon Oct 25, 2004 2:42 am

Passwords get encrypted in the database, there is no way a hacker can get them.. so why change our passwords :p ? Maybe he can change our email and request passwords, but that isn't really comfortable for his email box :roll:

Can't say, except hopefully soon. I've noticed the problems and I'm as annoyed as everyone else, but it's out of my hands.

I don't know if this has been said, but when I try and go onto the Download section, and click on any of the file sections, it just goes to the Download main page.

Thanks.

Yes, that's one of the kinks that needs to be fixed.

by **Colin** on Wed Oct 27, 2004 1:03 pm

It's working a lot better now. It was fine for about 5 minutes then as soon as I clicked the button to post that in this thread it gave me 'action cancelled.' :lol:

But it only required one refresh.

by **Wormy10** on Thu Oct 28, 2004 7:58 am

When I was at school it was messin' up like crazy, but now that I am home I have only had to refresh a few times also

by **Jackal** on Thu Oct 28, 2004 8:06 am

Internet seems to hate me.

I still have to refresh a gazillion & 2 times.

by **Wormy10** on Fri Oct 29, 2004 12:19 pm

Im not trying to jinx it, but I havent had (1) single problem the whole day, at school, here at home, nothing
No refreshes or re-posting

by **michael15675** on Fri Oct 29, 2004 12:55 pm

sorry for complaining or anything, but I still can't download squat. So I hope the site gets fix soon

by **Jay-Peso** on Fri Oct 29, 2004 1:01 pm

I don't have that problem but it should be fixed soon for people who can't

:shock:

The forum seems to be running better but the downloads section is still basically inactive. It should be temporary, as I said before there's not much I can do as it's up to Gamespy's technical staff to iron out the bugs. I'm hoping it won't be much longer.
