Site Updates

[Frodo]

the download server is probably down.

[Andrew]

I just backed up around 30 messages, and now my Backupbox is 123% full. so is this normal? is it kinda like cheating the system? wqhat will happen to the 23% extra?

[exatreide]

nothing but u cant get any new ims.

[Andrew]

nothing but u cant get any new ims.

but my incoming IM box is at 0% ???? so I should still be able to recieve incoming IM right?

Also wondering if there is a way to backup your messages off the site as your backup folder back may become full.

[Gobalopper]

Download server was down earlier today as Frodo mentioned.

Andrew are some of your messages ones you've sent? I think the count might be wrong when backing up messages which allows you to put more then you should be able to. If you want to see if you can receive messages you can always send yourself one, if that works then you should be able to receive them from others too.

[Andrew]

Is it just me or does this site take longer to load(each page)?(just by a fraction of a second) or maybe my computer is slowed down for some reason.

[Gobalopper]

It is probably just the server acting up and it will vary depending on your browser.

btw, to people who get a blank page when going to the login page for the first time could you post what version of IE and Windows you are using?

[Timenn]

Version 6.0.2800.1106 of IE

And Windows XP with Service Pack 1

[lowzeewee]

is the problem of the loading blank page still there

[Andrew]

yes, the other day when I was sending IM and posting replies I would get a blank page. If I pressed refresh it would work though.

6.0.26 IE

[Timenn]

Yes, refreshing helps with me also

This may sound strange but why is the site called Fed2k but the address Dune2k?

[Timenn]

I think this:

FED2k means: First Ever Dune 2000 site

And Dune2k refers to Dune 2000, the game where this site was originally made for

[Andrew]

I think you should update the main FED2K webpage and get rid of the links since the links are somewhat dead.

http://www.dune2k.com/?page=community-multi

Or maybe wait and see if EA adds them to their site.

site not working??

[Gobalopper]

Something wacky happened with the database earlier, should be fixed now.

odd, that last post I did in this thread was when it was down, I did it to see if it was working and it showed up, but my other attempts didnt work.

I was scared.

Whcih brings me to the conclusion that if your website goes down for an extended period of time people stop participating, as I have seen with another forum www.teknap.com , it was quite popular(as much as this site), then it stopped working for 6 months or so and is now working but not much happens. Maybe you should have a backup board(or plan) or something in case something bad happens.

Even though there are theories such as "if you plan for the worst it will happen"

Perhaps it was because westwood-unleashed, yes i know that it's a bit far-fetched but fed2k and westwood-unleashed together with some more sites are affiliates :-

[Dunenewt]

Maintenance is what Gob does on the forums

It has nothing to do with Websites on the same server

[ken124578]

As i said, it was a bit far-fetched.

btw. i really thought that everything was gone (topics, replies etc) the thought of re-typing the newbie guide :O

other than they can slow down this website, the same as any affiliate can slow down another, especially if a lot of people are downling stuff. like one time another affiliate had people downloading generals videos and it slowed this site to a crawl for about 3 hours or so maybe.

[Acriku]

I can't reply to God and Animals thread in the pol/rel forum. It says I did, but when I go to it - it doesn't show.

[ken124578]

Refresh the page.

[Acriku]

Ken, I did, it didn't work. Go try to see it.

[DukeLeto]

I can't see yours either, or one I just made. I do see the same Emprworm post 4 times though...
