Boomstick Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Try going to the main website and link to the forums from there. All of my old hotlinks and favorites list don't work. I guess they had to change the actual address or something. If that ain't it than no clue. Bill Thanks for the tip Bill. I was hopeful but even clicking the forum tab doesn't work. I even uninstalled and re-installed my browsers, reset my routers/modems and nothing. At least there's my phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It IS a conspiracy! But seriously, I've tried everything. Seems to be my connection to the internet that it doesn't like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Welcome back, ARC. Thanks, Steve and Neo. I see I missed the relaunch by two days -- the URL changed! I've been clicking my short-cut to no avail. Anyway, Congratulations to Neo and hallowed be our remaining Steve for his desire to maintain tradition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 I see I missed the relaunch by two days -- the URL changed! I've been clicking my short-cut to no avail. Yikes that is scary....I just made up a redirect page at the old URL and uploaded it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffryfontaine Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Glad to see the forums up and open for business again. The loss of four days worth of correspondence though was a bit of a problem though not a complete set back. Considering how large the forum is and the recovery effort undertaken losing four days worth of "traffic" is better than losing everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HOLMES Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Try going to the main website and link to the forums from there. All of my old hotlinks and favorites list don't work. I guess they had to change the actual address or something. If that ain't it than no clue. Bill I got that too Bill..it happens to ME too I have had to place ARC and all other favorite ARC threads on favorites all over again as the previous favorite link to ARC gives ME the error message... It's only happening with ARC and RELATED saved threads fromARC .. SO now I have had to Re -do the favorites.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

imatt88 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Wow, glad to be back! That was the worst outage I can remember..... Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnS Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thanks to everyone involved in getting the Forum back & running. This Forum is one of those things you don't really appreciate until you don't have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas C. Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It's great to see the site back. Thanks to Steve and Neo to a job well done! I feel their pain in a small way, as my computer had hardware problems around the same time as the site went down and I ended up having to buy a new one. I'm still in the process of transferring all of my files over and setting everything up. It's a pain, but I can only imagine how much worse it is to set up an entire site!

Jinxter13 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thank you Steve......you and Neo came thru in a nick of time and save me from the White suit with very long arms in a padded room..... :wacko: . My sanity or insanity is once again intact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gene K Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) There was a loss of about 4 days worth of data. Steve, I'm really glad ARC is back ... however, it's a severe shame that links that reference the old server address are essentially "gone". Is there some way you/Neo/... to program a redirect to the old links vice only redirecting to the page that says "ARC Forums have moved....click here for new location"?
