pinkfluff<P>Big Wet Drops and Lots of Them, Are a Sure Sign of Rain!<P> Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Looks like the fluffs are out of action again never mind we can all come on this forum UNTIL we get sorted again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Just tried it, got an SQL Critical Error, how scary! The message begins.....Access denied for user 'totalfr_akhmed'@'localhost' (using password: YES)Got to laff really. Maybe TotalFrance is a cover-up for something more sinister? "I was discussing this over a drink last night with other-TF-comradevitch" is a code for....... well, for what? Answers on a postcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkfluff<P>Big Wet Drops and Lots of Them, Are a Sure Sign of Rain!<P> Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 They work hard on the site for no gain at all so I hope they get it up soon I think they should sell advertisment on it and use the money for the site they have a lot of members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Yesterday I got a message saying that their host had to unexpectedly move stuff from one server to another and the rest of the site bar the forums seemed OK. Today all I got was a small blank box coming up and making a lot of clicking noises.Don't slag David off, he's only the bus driver and he tries. He's one of the most trying people I've ever seen.

Happy Expat Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Seems odd to me as I use another non-France related forum using the same host and that has been running normally throughout the whole time that TF has been down - very odd!Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Ah well. Akhmed is still up to his nonsense, the chimney sweep has come and gone, there's no-one else here to argue with (I'm certainly not going to argue with Sir Mad Di, that would be too risky), so I guess I have to do some housework?Nah, not yet..... a bit of patience, another means of avoidance will turn up! Oh hark, a bit of thunder. Can't possibly do housework in thunder. Saved!!! I shall look at these yummy pictures of Monsieur Schwarzenegger for a minute or two. Or maybe longer. I agree that he appears to have a very small brain, but it's not his brain I'm looking at. Short fingers worry me though, ever since someone told me they're a sign of inbreeding, and quite common in the Pyrenees, apparently.Anyone fancy dropping by for a cuppa Liptons?

Andrew Rose Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I spoke to Finlay yesterday afternoon - he's apparently stuck rather awkwardly between server systems in the US and programmers in India - the latter with poor and contradictory communications. I've no doubt he's both working hard at it and tearing his hair out trying to get things fixed as soon as possible... Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got "lost" when the LF forum changed to its new format - for some reason it wouldnt let me on so i went off to become a pink fluffy bunny!

Russethouse Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Its always nice to welcome new members.While Finlay trys to fix the problem with TF may I offer a warm welcome to old and new friends alike. To those who find this forum not their 'cup of tea', may I make the suggestion that there are many other forums - for instance http://www.angloinfo.com/ to sample Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Ah the joys of outsourcing. Look at all the grief we gave LF when they updated the forum and we got loads of funny messages BUT as far as I understand they kept in all in house and were able to sort it out (kick but where necessary) and even have long and detailed conversations over soft or hard drinks again if necessary.In a previous incarnation I was involved in the 'new way forward'. I involved my self out of a job and would you believe it but the first company who wanted me to work for them in the good old UK was the good old UK (if you know what I mean).I feel very sorry for Finlay, I also have bad days - but if they go any further than a day I know the man who owns the company that hosts the servers and can plant a sharp if small size 37 right where it hurts. I need my on-line directory up and running, I changed domain host when I was not happy with the service I was getting and now I have no excuse, I am the person where the buck stops.Please don't take this the wrong way - but - you do get what you pay for.

pinkfluff<P>Big Wet Drops and Lots of Them, Are a Sure Sign of Rain!<P> Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 If anyone asks a question on TF and no one answers it David 999 will search and find an answer he does a lot and why, he is a decent guy, so you see a lot of him and thats why one of the previous posters on this posting does not seem to like him because he helps out too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously tho' he has probably offered most help to people on TF (except maybe the Hippy) than any other poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkfluff<P>Big Wet Drops and Lots of Them, Are a Sure Sign of Rain!<P> Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 LATEST FROM TFLATEST INFO 2 - 21:00 BST 2/8/05: The server move seems to have been completed but it seems that the server technicians have deleted our databases in the process!! In the meantime, we are attempting to restore them from our own backups. Again, we apologise for the inconvenience but we are trying our hardest to bring things back to normal with little or no assistance from the server administrators.
