"Paws"itraction Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) I just tried to back up a page in the "Cheers?" thread in OT, and it told me the page wasn't found. I refreshed the page I had been on and suddenly THAT page wasn't found. I tried going out to the main forums page and the FORUMS disappeared - all that I got was a list of names of people that were logged on. The "path" that I usually have been seeing in a forum / thread is Groundspeak Forums > {forum section} > {sub-forum} > Thread: for example: Groundspeak Forums > General Geocaching Discussions > Geocaching.com Web Site > Forum Problems? Now it says Groundspeak Forums > > Geocaching.com Web Site. The forum section seems to be missing. I only got to this subforum by selecting "view all new posts", clicking on one I *knew* was in the Web Site section, and then clicking on the "Geocaching.com Web Site" link. What's going on? Is it a forum thing or is my browser freaking out? Edit to add: and at the top of each page I get this error message: IPB WARNING [2] Invalid argument supplied for foreach() (Line: 610 of \sources\classes\class_forums.php) Edited March 7, 2006 by PAWSitraction Link to comment

+WhatsRNutts Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I can't see any forums either. I just came in straight from an outside web site and i only found this thread by going into the "view new posts" button. Link to comment

+Pyewacket Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi, guys. I don't even know how I got here, I've clicked so many links! Forum pages aren't visible for me, either. I'm sure they're there, but we can't get to them. Link to comment
+team moxiepup Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I'm getting that too. I'm rather relieved it's not just me, as i just had to switch rooms at work and am now on a different computer. I was thinking... "I was able to get there on the other computer (a Pc) ... D*mn Macs! Lol! Hope they get things back up soon! Link to comment

Edit to add: and at the top of each page I get this error message: IPB WARNING [2] Invalid argument supplied for foreach() (Line: 610 of \sources\classes\class_forums.php) Something's going on. When I try to enter the forums through the front door I get the board stats page with a list of who's signed on. I can't seem to get to the list of topics at all. I got here by clicking active topics. And I see the same (or similar) error message. It probably is all Cheers fault. I'll try again some time later. Link to comment
+kbootb Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I can't see any forums either. I just came in straight from an outside web site and i only found this thread by going into the "view new posts" button. Exactly the same for me Link to comment
+Pyewacket Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) I checked my posts through my profile, and any posts I made in OT aren't visible. As frustrating as this is for us, can you imagine how Elias and his team feel? Edited March 7, 2006 by Pyewacket Link to comment
+cache_test_dummies Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 My guess is that they shut the forums down because we've successfully discussed every possible thing which could be discussed. There's nothing left to talk about. I feel all empty and sad inside. Link to comment
+Team Laxson Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 OK, good. It's not just me. Even at the top of this page I see this error: "IPB WARNING [2] Invalid argument supplied for foreach() (Line: 610 of \sources\classes\class_forums.php) " Link to comment
+ibycus Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Me thinks things are either being repaired, or are very very broken at the moment. Just clicked the "Groundspeak forums" link, and all the forums are gone Link to comment

+4leafclover Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 glad it's not just me. I can only get into forums that I have posted to in my last 10 posts, with the exception of Off topic. they are LOOKING to drive us all into the sanitariums, I know it! Link to comment
"Paws"itraction Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 NO, no, no! They can't go away forever! This is how I get through the day sometimes! But yeah, it's gotta be REAL frustrating for Elias, Jeremy, et al. Link to comment

+ODragon Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 It's weird as I can get to some (TB, Getting Started, Geocaching Topics, Web site) but I can't get to others (geocoins, The Hunt, NorthEast, Getting started with Waymarking). Very odd. If anyone wants a link to those working, I can do that... Link to comment
+ibycus Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 glad it's not just me. I can only get into forums that I have posted to in my last 10 posts, with the exception of Off topic. they are LOOKING to drive us all into the sanitariums, I know it! I can get in to forums 1->10 ( think) anything above that seems to be toast right now. Just go to http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showforum=8 And modify the 8 to some other number to scroll through the forums that are still available. Link to comment
+wandererrob Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) Looks like something is missing. Look up top "Groundspeak Forums > > Geocaching.com Web Site" Note the gap in the middle. Hmmmm... Jeremy! HEEEELP! Crap. Might as well go do some work now then. Edited March 7, 2006 by wandererrob Link to comment
+cache_test_dummies Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 This topic reminds me of what happens when a fire alarm goes off in a large building. Everybody gathers in the parking lot outside, where we discuss what is going on until we are all allowed back into the building. I hope there wasn't a fire at Groundspeak headquarters!

+ibycus Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Just double checked, these are the forums I can get to: 4 Geocaching Announcements 5 Getting Started 6 Geocaching Topics 7 Cache in Trash Out 8 Geocaching.com website 9 The Travel Bug 10 Benchmark Hunting I'm guessing forums 1->3 Are administrative forums (like the reviewer board etc) Link to comment

+team moxiepup Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) Figures... yesterday and most of last week, I was working with no computer access. Today I have it and... H'mmm there's always websudoku.com... but it's not nearly as fullfilling, or social! Edited March 7, 2006 by team moxiepup Link to comment
+wildearth2001 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 yeah the main page is down for me, I get error messages at the top of every page and I can only acess threads by going into the last active topics page Link to comment
+ibycus Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Just a repeat of what I said earlier for anyone who missed it (based on some replies, it may be lost). To get to the still active forums, go to http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showforum=8 And modify the 8 to some other number to scroll through the forums that are still available. The following forums seem to work for me... 4 Geocaching Announcements 5 Getting Started 6 Geocaching Topics 7 Cache in Trash Out 8 Geocaching.com website 9 The Travel Bug 10 Benchmark Hunting Link to comment
+Recdiver Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Oh the humanity! Okay I checked and Seattle wasn't obliterated by a volcanic eruption, nor has it slipped into Puget Sound following a cataclysmic earthquake, I suspect the hamsters that power the servers are on a work slowdown demanding overtime pay and the end to hamster caching.

+AndrewRJ Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 must post... Yep down for me too and I only got here be clicking on the recent topics button. Hmmm maybe we should set up the bar in here for the moment. This place looks stable. Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) Well I am relieved that it isn't "just" the off topic forum. The search feature still works, and will get you to threads in the available forums, but not in the unavailable forums. And private messages still work. And "Today's Active Topics" is suddenly a useful feature, one I haven't usually taken advantage of. As a forum moderator under my other account, I am not aware of any scheduled maintenance, and the problem occurred at 6:40 a.m. Seattle time. More typically, downtime is scheduled for late in the evening. Edited March 7, 2006 by The Leprechauns Link to comment
