After 5 days of no forum, it looks like www.GoDaddy.com (http://www.GoDaddy.com) FINALLY fixed the problem THEY created.
-
Looks like there are some smiley issues.
-
YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU LOLA!!!!!

Only a couple of odd things I've found, like some things don't show the actual emoji graphic but are instead words like "H u g 1" (no spaces)

Yeah. I can't imagine how they managed that, but...
-
I can't count the amount of complaints I have read about GoDaddy, on the SMF forum over the years. I just assumed it was a large company, so people are going to complain. Guess I assumed wrong! I truly am AMAZED such a large company can suck so bad.
-
Looks like all the paid email accounts are gone. What a surprise... not. DeeDee I set you up with a new free one. It will be carpy, but should work for now.
-
Remind me next time GoDaddy asks me to upgrade THEIR product...
NO. HELL NO! :)
-
What is a paid e mail account?
Getting in is iffy. Sometimes I get told it's taking too long and to try again. On the second try I can usually get in. One of those times I was attempting to use the "unread posts since list visit" option.
If you drop GoDaddy and go to something else, what happens to the existing content? It doesn't get lost does it?
I was going through withdrawal hahah!
Is there anyway to save a thread onto a hard drive? I'd like to save my Mazy cat thread, for instance. I use it often as a resource for tracking her issues.

Whew. I was really starting to worry if I'd been hacked or not with that account since it refused to take my password in any of the email clients I tried and in Chrome too.

Yeah. It's still burping a bit.

Copy and paste every post to a Word or other type file. That's about all I know.

I was wondering the same thing, if there was a way to change hosting companies without losing the existing content. Not now, obviously, I think Lola would bangshead bangshead bangshead, but the next time GoDaddy wants an update . . . ? But I don't know how all that works. :-\ :-\

I get so many @pf email addys for free. They don't include much space. 6 emails and the box is full. lol An email address, that I pay a few bucks for, works MUCH better! Since DeeDee does the Twitter thing... she has access to a good email account associated with PF.
I have thought about leaving GoDaddy when they have pizzed me off before... but things get fixed and I get over my anger BUT this time was a DOOZY. Being jerked around for 5 days will take some time to get over.
I can change hosting and domain companies and have everything transfer over...nothing SHOULD get lost...but it is a bit of a headache. After this week, I'm thinking GoDaddy probably makes it VERY difficult to transfer.
The forum is backed-up often, so everything is technically saved. BUT if I were you, I would print (or save) the info you want. Better safe than sorry.
-
I'm paid for a year, so I'm sucked in until next May.
I missed ALL of YOU!!!!
-
DeeDee, did you by any chance Tweet that the forum was back up and running? Just curious. Hopefully everyone will find their way back soon. fingerscrossed
-
Lola, were all members included in the info e mail list? I was kind of hoping some would see the e mails and decide to join us again. Not that I am unhappy with our little group. But it would be interesting to hear how other members are doing.
-

I did at some point. I'll do it again.
Things SHOULD start picking up again now that I'm tweeting out new stories. A big part of the following from Twitter is because I use hashtags and people follow to read "the rest of the story."

I only emailed the people that are active.
Like you, there are people I would like to hear from and hear about their furkids, but... I don't want to "spam" them.
Chat forums are pretty much a thing of the past. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram... those are the "happening" places.
-
It looks like the numbers are back up, so most folks that were visiting are back. Or maybe we have new visitors! :)

yuk I'll take forums any day.

I run my site on HostGator.. Aside from a couple weeks where they were moving servers and generally making a mess of things a few years back, I really can't complain. The smiley issues could boil down to database table corruption or the images are missing from the forum folder.
-
The smilies are there... kinda. I've slowly been getting around to fixing them.

I can. And have. funny2
I am unable to post attachments on your site any more.
-
Yeah that I can't really explain, I've turned off basically everything that would get in the way. I can't seem to duplicate the problem either so I have no clue how to fix it.
-
I believe the smilies are all fixed.
I am receiving pop notices on the forum, when I get a message. BUT the message is no longer going to my Web-email (through GoDaddy). I tested a non-GoDaddy email system, and it seems to be working. Soooooo, looks like they messed up Web-Mail as well.
Any one else having any email issues?

I haven't used it, so I don't know. Sorry.

I don't think personal emails are messed up... not from my other test anyway. I'll send you a PM... just to be sure. Let me know if you get the message via your email.
-
I don't think I'm messed up. Not positive. I never get very many PMs at all. The only difference I've made is to make the email client check for/download email more often.
-
Nope. It's not sending a message to my Twitter email.
-
Okay. It finally sent something to Twitter mail at 2:26 p.m. Central, which is a long time after the test was sent.

From my person gmail account, I sent you a test email to your PF Twitter account. I think that is what you are referring to above.
It seems that we are able to get emails from sources, other than directly from the forum. Not great, but could be worse.

Oh. I thought it was an email straight from the forum. I didn't pay attention to the return addy. Doh1 LOL
