Am I the only one unable to get into the Shout box (Chat)?
-
It says not found when I tried also?
-
It seems to been having issues for several days now. Bot attacks?
-
I couldn't even get on the site until I logged out and logged back in. Still weirdness for sure.
-
yep, couldn't get to the site at all until this morning, and now can't get to the shout box.... thanks to those trying to fix things.
-
No shout box access for me either...
Thanks for all those working on forum/website issues!!!

Updating the shortcut helped me.

Vintage equipment can be finicky. We ordered new Nichicon caps for the shoutbox, and will install them as soon as we receive them. The sound should be smoother, with tighter bass. Stand by.

Hopefully they were the Hello Kitty upgrade.

The Hello Kitty STICKER update! :P

Do not put any $#%@$ Hello Kitty stickers on any caps that I am associated with. I have PTSD from the work I went through to remove those damn stickers. OCCD, Rev - you still owe me for that one! Vengeance will be mine... (someday)

Same here, issues for the past couple of days. Says the site isnt up and then a refresh brings it back. Strange indeed. I to have no shout box.
Wish the best for those trying to resolve this. GL!!

I've had no issues other than the shout box since I updated my shortcuts to www.vintagehifi.audio/index.php (http://www.vintagehifi.audio/index.php), no http.

Sorry guys, I have been working on resolving issues. I couldn't even get in myself to say that.. There have been some bad bots swamping the server - I don't know if they were malicious or just poorly behaved. The shoutbox has been temporarily removed to get a baseline server usage profile. The shoutbox can add considerable load since it is constantly polling the server for updates.

I've had luck with adding https. Why not use a secure connection since it was added?

Thank you. That hadn't occurred to me. Thanks MB for all of your efforts.

It's deliberate.
-
any updates on when/ if the shout box will be reinstated?
-
You know, I often got annoyed when something that I felt was useful and should be part of the permanent record here was relegated to the shout box, but now that it's gone I miss it more than I thought I would. Especially for CL links.
-
Ditto. And, sometimes it made me laugh, which since I usually check it early in the day was a great start to the morning.
-
any progress on getting the Chatbox or something similar re-established?

Perhaps we should start a random BS thread until the ShoutBox is back up?
I spent ten years as a software test engineer, if there’s anything I can do to help test anything, I’m up for helping out.

Al will turn it back on soon and see if it behaves. If it starts sucking up CPU cycles again, the box may need to be shut down indefinitely. He can only allocate so much time to troubleshooting the forum widgets (a side effect of having a fulltime job). But I agree, miss the shoutbox, though not because of the Craigslist pointers since I am nowhere near PA.

Hilarious!!!

Funny CL
What would be the cost if we hired a hosting service, or whatever the appropriate company would be called, to set up / maintain our site including the shout box?

Yes, a worthy read regardless of geographic position.
