Forum Problem

[davidachamberlain]

Are you sure it's still not throwing the Transmit Post error? It's still happening for me.
It's just possible that in your case, it might be completely obscured behind the main Netplay Forum window, it was *almost* completely obscured when I tried it.

As seen below, the error window is just visible.

Brian.

I still have the error window (same as you), but no longer getting the exception - though I go to the forum directly rather than trying to restore a Netplay game.

However, still not functioning.

From appearances, that level of resolution (for me anyway) appeared to happen Friday/Saturday, but it is evident that no-one worked on it any further over the weekend.

I just hope that more thought goes into changes like this. It should never have occurred just before a weekend. If this was my project, I would have been hauled up on the carpet in front of senior management and probably lose my job. Before I would get approval to make the change, I would need to have proven that my implementation of the change on the QA test environment was flawless.

Erik,
I changed my Slitherine PW per instructions from the helpdesk. Do I need to change it back to the original PW?
FYI, I did change the NetPlayReg.txt file when I made the PW change. Is there another file to change the PW on?

The first time this happened was with Gerry and myself last tuesday evening at around 18.00 hours GMT. After that, it slowly seemed to spread to other players too. So it's now over a week that this problem exists...

Hi everyone,

I am chasing this every day. It is unfortunately not within my ability to fix, but our server admins are continuing to investigate and troubleshoot and they, I and Steve are in communication. I've asked them to reach out to you all via this thread if they feel that would be helpful.

Regards,

- Erik

Erik, that is pretty scary.

These guys should be able to go back to where they were with things working. If they just tore everything apart and are starting from scratch, they are going about it the wrong way.

They should at least be able to restore the old server back to where it was before they started their migration.

After than, they can determine how to build the new one, properly test it, than try to back with it as the production server.

Seems to work now.

Yes it works now for me. I lay the blame for the root problem on the IPoIO factor.
