As the title suggests, [MENTION=3]Calibrated[/MENTION] or someone explain why we are having such large breaks in the usage of the forum.

    This situation has been going on for months , Google , Telstra etc throwing up warnings about site and denying access
    How I got on today is a mystery but after this venting I will feel good for a while
    It is a bit like the weather everybody complains but no one does anything about it [MENTION=872]Steevo[/MENTION] was the only one who was able to fix , I say bring back Steevo
    This was , repeat was a great forum , people from around the Amarok world used it now it is about as reliable as an honest politician

    We just need an amarok driving politician [MENTION=1381]ozcaddy[/MENTION] or an ausamarok party in the Senate then we would be sweet.

    [MENTION=5221]EdwinP[/MENTION] , There have been a number of posts from members claiming they can fix but it is up to [MENTION=3]Calibrated[/MENTION] to decide what will happen right now the forum is bleeding members who access the site and possibly if that continues it may become irrelevant

    After everyone had a bitch and moan about not wanting to contribute to running costs, I just left it.

    But I don’t want it to die.

    I’ve approached a developer to migrate us from VBulletin to the Open Source version of Vanilla, hosted on our current server. Pricing is reasonable and he will be able to give us ongoing support on Vanilla if required as well.

    Should be fully migrated in 7-14 days.

    [MENTION=3]Calibrated[/MENTION] , all I whinged and bitched about was the fact I kept getting error reprts and unable to access , I have kicked the can once and I am prepared to do it again
    I did not notice/see any posts relating to this but will continue to look
    The site is still throwing up warnings from Google , Telstra and Firefox/Mozilla
    Await your reply

    ps , surely a good accountant can also assist you in having the forum as an advertising tax deduction to partially help offset any costs

    [MENTION=3]Calibrated[/MENTION] thanks for getting it up running again.
    Hopefully you can get some advertising to help support the forum.

    Well if its running costs the main issue, are you actually receiving the "Supporting Members" contributions?
    Why I ask is last year I donated funds to be a supporting member and yet still have seen no change in membership, so is the membership process actually working?
    There could be a few $$'s out there that members are willing to provide in contributing to the financial burdens of the forums.
    Cheers

    I got on ok yesterday , but when I tried tonight I finally got the Telstra block. Even setting it to low it would not let me access topics.

    That Telstra "safe site" thing is a massive load of crap... It's been turned on without my consent, and I simply don't want it...

    [MENTION=1447]Drew[/MENTION] , my problem is I cannot get onto the forum in a normal log-in manner I have to jump through hoops , but I get on , Telstra safe stops me ,Google safe browsing stops me and Firefox/Mozilla stops me , they may all be crap but guess what , they are effective blockers
    I fill in the Not a deceptive site report etc all to no avail
    I am prepared to pay my way but the forum must be in an operational state
    If I was the only complainant I would suck it up but others enjoy my company in the same boat
    Regards

    I don’t know how but I’ve just got on!
    Telstra did the same to me, I’ve tried turning it to low so maybe that has finally worked. I can’t find a way to turn it off.

    Just blocked me again!
    You need to go into your Telstra account and look for the extras on your broadband section, you’ll find the protect thing there click it and then turn it to low.

    Good to see the Forum back , just a small comment , the posts should have a date on them so we know when they were put up

    Plus my offer to kick the cam still stands to help maintain the forum
