Re: PBW status
 

I can go to the forum for a particular game directly from that game's description page without problem. It is trying to get to the general forums from the Community Page that is the problem. I do not have an non-standard security options enabled for Firefox.

Re: PBW status
 

Strange. Did you try to clear the Cache / cookies?

Re: PBW status
 

I use Firefox also and PBW site works perfectly in every way for me. Have you tried reinstalling it, Fyron?

Re: PBW status
 

Are autoruns going to be turned on soon? I am leaving for a few days and I was hoping that the games I host would still run on time in my absence...

thanks,

Alarik

Re: PBW status
 

Good idea. PBW seems to be fairly stable now. Geo?

Re: PBW status
 

I was just doing a little maitenance this morning Slynky.

I am doing some work on it this morning. There might be some brief outages. If everything goes well though I will turn auto turns back on this afternoon.

Re: PBW status
 

Did everything go well? I'm getting.

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, admin@pbw.cc and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Re: PBW status
 

I got some of those Internal Server Errors about 15 mins ago, but it seems to be working again now.

Re: PBW status
 

The server has been up, but I've been running defrag all day and it's probably sapping the resources or something. Should be done in not too much longer.

Re: PBW status
 

No problems here. Probably just Geo still making some live maintenance. Give him a minute or two...

EDIT: there are far too many people reading and fast posting here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I just wanted to get it straight that I have no affiliation with littlecrackwhore and they are totally out of control. They obvioulsy are playing off my user id and the joke about how you got your user id, no real disrespect was intended, I'm just an admirer of your engenious skills and wanted to know more about you. Please do not ban me from the forum,

Re: PBW status
 

Hey there, I'm having some tiny hiccups with the PBW server, no biggie, I sent my turns via email. When I try to send or recieve turns, I get a javascript dialog. It's probably just 'cause my isp is slow these days, thats been happening a lot lately. I felt like mentioning it because I hoped it had nothing to do with this {SANS report}

Re: PBW status
 

I also had a wierd incident with PBW. I declared a couple of empires dead in the SE Galaxies Aldan game and that went fine and it showed them as dead, yet today when I checked they were not dead and the related log entries vanished...

Re: PBW status
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, that's a code bug. We had it fixed, but when I restored the old code the other day it wiped it out. Until I get it fixed again the workaround is to mark them dead then go to the game admin screen and hit update options. You don't need to change options, just hit the update button.

Re: PBW status
 

Sunday July 4th, 10:27 PM Est. Have to take the server down for a bit for some maintenance. Shouldn't be too long. I will update you here if anyone is up. Sunday's typically a pretty slow night.


Geoschmo

Re: PBW status
 

Yeah, I just hit it and came up empty but, like you said, slow night. I was only checking.

Re: PBW status
 

Ok, we are back up for now. I will be taking it back down either tonight or tommorow AM. Until then you are good to go.

Re: PBW status
 

Back up

Re: PBW status
 

Ok, I am going out of town for a week and a half. While I am gone the PBW server will remain operational, hopefully. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Georgig and Tesco have access to the server remotely and can do a lot to recover if there is a problem that's not to serious. However, there is the posibility of an ISP or power problem or some kind of hardware issue that they will not be able to do anything about. If something like that happens unfortunatly it's going to have to wait till I return on the 14th.

I have turned off the PBW auto-processing in case there is a problem. Turns will run if all are uploaded, and the game owner or a PBW admin can force the turn to run as well. But turns will not run simply because the time limit has been reached.

If you need to reach them send an email to admin@pbw.cc. I will NOT be checking email while I'm gone.

Good luck. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: PBW status

Re: PBW status

Re: PBW status
 

Sorry about that. Not sure what happened but I rebooted it now and it's working.

Re: PBW status
 

thanks for the fast service geoschmo !

Re: PBW status
 

Most of the day today, the grpahics side of the PBW site (as opposed to the text side) has not been loading for me. Anyone else having similiar troubles?

Thx,
Alarik

Re: PBW status
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I always use the graphic side and I just went there and it worked fine.

Re: PBW status
 

hmm still get same error....game Star Wars II Mod Game....player Tnarg i hope you help me in this..we are about to start this game

Re: PBW status
 

No problem on the server. Are you using Explorer or something else. Perhaps it's some sort of browser problem. Maybe you have your sercurity set to block the javascript stuff? I'm just guessing here. Did you try the text UI or graphic or both?

I clicked the accept for you so Tnarg is in the game now. If it happens again we can try testing a bit more and narrow down what's causing it for you specifically.

Re: PBW status
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Not aware of any problems. Might have been a temporary glitch. If you still can't accept the player then give me some more details. What game, what player, etc.

Re: PBW status
 

thanx geoschmo you are best http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Problems like this generally arise from not using Internet Exploder, which PBW was designed for. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Even when disabling all security settings, I have never been able to get the Accept/Kick/Finish buttons to work in Mozilla Firefox. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Probably shouldn't discuss this further in this thread, so as not to clutter it up. Just posting confirmation that this is an on-going issue...

Re: PBW status
 

Strange, I'm using Mozilla Firefox and there aren't problems with Accept/Kick/Finish buttons.

Re: PBW status
 

Really? I have not been able to use them since way back when the browser had a cool name (Phoenix, 0.7 or so). :-\

Re: PBW status
 

I can't upload my turn to NGC5.
Is anyone else having a problem?

[edit: Nevermind, looks like it was a problem with my system. I was able to send it in from another computer on my network.]

Re: PBW status
 

In what may be an unrelated note, I am now unable to access PbW from any computer on my network. Additionally, the NCG5 game should have cranked, to my understanding, some thrity minutes ago, and I have not received an e-mail announcing the new turn.

I'm guessing PbW is down. Can anyone confirm/denounce this?

Re: PBW status
 

site must be down. Says "The page cannot be displayed"

Re: PBW status
 

down for me at 10:00 PM, EST.
