Title: A Problem... May Be?
shard - August 14, 2003 02:24 PM (GMT)
When I try to veiw some of the topics such as "high avatar gets owned" for example, a page opens up with no posts at all in it, not even the initial post.
My guess is that it is due to the huge number of GIFs used in them and my slow connection speed...
But it might be for another reason, but if this is the reason please try to reduce the number of GIFs u use, ne ways does ne one else have this problem?
Edit; I can't veiw ne topic in the spamming forums, and some other topics can't be displayed.

Now I can't veiw ne other topic too; there definately is a problem, I wonder if its due to the new virus...
If ne body knows what exactly is going on please post a reply.

this is pissing me off big time, whats up lulu? any word from the invision team? this could be the death of this site!!!!!!

Hey, don't say the big D word... say something else like reincarnation or something, this site isn't gonna die unless if we stop posting in it... and no new members join...
Ne ways I've checked some other invisionfree forums and none of them has this problem, all topics without a post from 14th of august onwards got all their posts deleted.
Lulu hasn't responded to this topic yet (or ne other since the problem started) so I'm not sure whether if he's aware of it or not.
I have a couple of things on my mind, but I'm not sure...

i think im about to say what shard just said, but here goes. i guess all the posts got deleted at one point, but when you post in a topic its there. so its ok to post now i think. i guess well just have to make new topics.

I was hoping to see at least one reply from Lulu over the past few days, but it didn't happen, I don't think this site can go to far without proper administration and it will be a complete waste of time to try to make it work if he doesn't try to make an effort... so if he doesn't reply wihtin the next couple of days I'll stop checking this site ne more.
Back to this problem, the only reasonable causes of it I can think of are
1- the blaster worm (I've seen some thing similar on another site but due to it not happining to ne other forums on invisionfree I doubt it).
2- May be Lulu (he's the only admin)set the expiration date for topics to one day by mistake then set it back, I'm not sure about that either but I've read some thing related to expiry dates on inactive topics in another forum on invisionfree...
Both causes might seem illogical but they r all I can think of.
Edit; I read today about a few sites who had catastrophic site failures as they put it with reasults similar to this problem (not recently though) so...

Sorry, I've been on vacation for 2 and a half weeks, so I couldn't post, and now my computer isn't set up because of basement renovations. (I'm on a friends computer) I won't be able to get my computer back up for another 2 weeks (or so). >_< Uh... I can see all the topics just fine - i think
No - i havent been messing with the expiration dates, they are set to never delete themselves, and have always stayed that way.
:edit: nvm, i cant see them for the most part. ill check wit the guys at invisionfree and see whats up.

I was sure that would lure u, nice to c u back, as u can see I couldn't resist checking this site again though the 2 days r over =).
Ur the only one who can make changes to the site and stuff like that, so plz don't leave again without notice...
Edit; another hundred posts and ur rank didn't go up, I wonder if there is ne thing higher than site owner!!!? (joke)

It's hard to post more with no topics going around... But imagine the explosion of the site once another FF comes out... Do one of the following...
-Be patient
-Make topics
-Leave and stop your whining
Up to you... :rude:
