Diane 500 Posted August 22, 2016 Sadly the answer to update the software probably doesn''t lie with Pete if it did I suspect it would have been upgraded years ago.Not sure who makes the decision at Archant as to whether to spend the money to upgrade it but that''s the person we need to appeal to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted August 22, 2016 Dear oh dear. So a website has an off day or two but then most websites have issues from time to time. We still have a great message board here and despite it''s quirks and issues, still works very well most of the time. No other NCFC message board has been able to match this one, however up to date their site is and the most probable outcome of too much flack being thrown at Archant about this message board would be for them to pull the plug on it all together. Anger and accusations are pointless. The technology failed for a day or too. It happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or at least they shouldn''t be.I''d be surprised if they were to pull the plug LDC - it''s regular, consistent traffic which they might not otherwise get.Anyway, whilst I would never allow a website of mine to be down for 48 hours (unless something seriously out of my control rendered it impossible), at the very least I would update my other external medias - like social media for example, to let people know what''s going on. Particularly with the Ray''s funds etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,746 Posted August 22, 2016 I will bump this up to the top in the vain hope that somebody from Archant sees this thread and just has some common decency and a touch of customer care to give a full and frank explanation as to what exactly has been going on and where this website is heading in the future.As someone has said this not my job and be patient rhetoric we have had over recent days and months is just a fob off.

Error message or loading times?Working fine for me and IS won''t do anything unless they can replicate the problem.[/quote]Loading times which quite often result in a blank page - not an error message.CSS sometimes not loading so you get an ugly base HTML view of the forum (some hyperlinks then don''t work).Timeouts when hitting reply.Oh yeah, and generally the forum is old and sh*t.

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted August 23, 2016 I had a problem last week where the message board simply wouldn''t ever load. This happened both at work (where internet is super-fast) and via my iphone, which is normally reliable. It lasted for over a day. At the moment it seems to be ok.
