+Hawk-eye Posted March 25, 2002 Posted March 25, 2002 I'm having all kinds of problems in the last couple days with the forums ... going from one string to another ... and I can't pinpoint what trips it ... but all the bulbs go white. Also I get error messages (in English and Spanish) sometimes telling me that the forum is down ... going backwards and then forward ... it comes back. Am I going crazy or has anyone else had similiar experiences?
Cachemere Posted March 25, 2002 Posted March 25, 2002 I started posting my troubles yesterday in this string. It's getting really bad. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
+Hawk-eye Posted March 25, 2002 Author Posted March 25, 2002 Thanks ... I was begining to worry ... here's the English part of the error message: quote:System Notice: The OpenTopic™ service that powers this Community is momentarily unavailable. The Infopop System Administrators have been notified about the problem and are working to correct it. Thank you for your understanding.
Cachemere Posted March 25, 2002 Posted March 25, 2002 If you go to the thread I posted above, Michael from Infopop is working on it and has left an email address. It may help to drop him a line with your error messages. I just posted and sent him mine. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
+Hawk-eye Posted March 25, 2002 Author Posted March 25, 2002 Now I've found a trend ... if I click on a link ... say someone's profile ... that action turns all the bulbs white ... even those that were yellow.
Cachemere Posted March 25, 2002 Posted March 25, 2002 All the bulbs are going white for me too but clicking on links isn't what's causing it here. Just going from topic to topic is enough. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
+Hawk-eye Posted March 25, 2002 Author Posted March 25, 2002 I've had that happen as well ... but not as consistently as popping a link.
+exConn Posted March 25, 2002 Posted March 25, 2002 I was just coming in here to report the same thing. I'm constantly getting the English/Spanish error page... -exConn What is Project Virginia?
+Hawk-eye Posted March 26, 2002 Author Posted March 26, 2002 Well so far this morning ... no "White Screens of Death" .. but just got the "White Light Bulbs of Death" by clicking on the "Geocaching.com Discussion" forum.

Hawk-eye, the gremlins must have moved on to better pickins 'cuz I've been plagued with them all morning. Just about every other time I click to a thread I get the white screen of death!!! It's definitely annoying. Guess it's going to be a while before the bugs are finally worked out of the new forums. ~Rich in NEPA~ === A man with a GPS receiver knows where he is; a man with two GPS receivers is never sure. ===

The Infopop System Administrators have been notified about the problem and are working to correct it. Thank you for your understanding. I get this error occasionally, but I finally figured out that it happens if I try to submit a reply to topic at the same time or just after somone else has. That's the only time I have received that message. Food for thought. rdw
Jake.Hazelip Posted March 26, 2002 Posted March 26, 2002 rdw, try clicking on the Groudnspeak Forums link at the "cookie crumb" list of where you are at the moment and see if it happens again. I get it all the time when I try to click that link to return to the top of the forums or when I click the Groundspeak logo at the top left.
Cachemere Posted March 26, 2002 Posted March 26, 2002 I just got this one when I hit the "back" button on my web browser: Not Found on Accelerator Description: Your request for 'http:///0/OpenTopic?a=em&s=1750973553&f=8080979883&m=5640988314' on host '.*s', was not found. btw, Netscape 6.2
+BrownMule & Jackrabbit Posted March 27, 2002 Posted March 27, 2002 Still looking for someone to tell us what's wrong. This is getting bad. Error messages are happening about every Third attempt to load a page or to post on this forum.
+Hawk-eye Posted March 28, 2002 Author Posted March 28, 2002 I just got 42 white screens of death ... including four to try and post this message. It seems this forum is improving ... in the wrong direction!
Cachemere Posted March 30, 2002 Posted March 30, 2002 I was logged on to geocaching.com. This is part of the message I received while trying to logon to the forums. quote:404 Not FoundThe requested URL /0/OCClient?ACTION=LOGIN&SITE_OID=1750973553&NON_OT_USER_ID=... was not found on this server. What's up with this? I'll forward the entire message to Infopop. Sure hope this is resolved shortly. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
