    Is there any prob with the server or sthg?.
    In the last few days, I've been experiencing probs to access the forum at some hours. For instance, yesterday I was surfing phun when it became literally impossible to continue. It reached a point at which all I got was a completely blank page, with no error message, nothing at all. I could hit the refresh buttom many times and I closed and opened the browser (firefox 2) several times with no result.
    It happened between 18:00 and 21:00 GMT. I didn't try again after 21:00 GMT.

    I don't know if the prob is at my end because I can surf the net flawlessly. I didn't get that prob in any other forum or site I visited during 18:00 and 21:00 GMT., even www.phun.org could be accessed with no pain, but the forum was a different thing.

    Is there any way I can fix that if the prob is at my end?. Or is just a hopeless issue?.

    Thanks.

    I had a problem at my end this morning and the same time yesterday. I don't know what "central" time is, but it was pretty much exactly 12 hours ago for me. Nothing loaded, then it finally went ok again.

    there´s a daily downtime at about 8:00am/8:30am GMT due to a scheduled maintanance.

    to get rid of other possibly-phun-server-related jams it would be nice if you repoert them with day/time they occured.

    to solve any transocean-cable-overloads is beyond phun´s abilities, though ;)

    Every once in a while (starting on Feb. '07) @ about midnight P.S.T.(pacific standard time) I have the same problem. I have put it down to the server updating, like you pointed out erlier. That seems to be happening at the same time every day. So all I do is move on to something else and come back about 5 minutes later and everything is okay.

    I just thaught I'd let you know.

    Wookiee :cool:

    forum.phun.org is in the progress of migrating to a new, more powerful server.

    within this progress some issues might occur - missing graphics, a slight "uncommon" appearance of the forum. be patient, it will be worth it ;)

    Wouldn't this be a great opportunity to think about enriching the smileys package?.
    Nothing to big or heavy, but just a bit spicier to add a touch of humor to the posts.
