It seems that over the last two days we have been having intermittent outages. Our service providers are aware of the situation and are working on the issues. They are usually pretty quick at resolving issues.

Wow, I spent about 3 hours with 'tech support' last night, as everyone I knew could get into the BoB though I couldn't. Actually I could on my wife's lappy and wifi courtesy of a neighbor. I couldn't browse anything at the host (where BoB is hosted either) other than their front page, and sales pages. Even their FAQ and Contact page was burked for me. so I thought it was something with my ISP and DNS forwarding.

Thanks for the update!

LOL... Did you get THIS message



Dear users,

We are going to replace some Forumotion servers, so we can offer you better performances.
This manipulation is harmless for your forums. Only a few slowdowns can be encountered during the process when browsing your forums.

Best,
Forumotion Team





See its harmless with only a few slowdowns... THEY said so.. linky

For what it's worth, the problems I was having loading the site were coming from illiweb.com. I blacklisted the domain so my computer wouldn't sit there forever waiting on them and I can browse the forums fine now.

Update : The techs are still working to solve all issues regarding the servers change, please notify me of all remaining bugs/glitches you may encounter, apart from you forum not being accessible.

For people getting Error 500 (Server error) it's most commonly to do with your templates.
The solution is to simply re-publish the template overall_header_new.

Best,

Hilarious, kinda reminds me of government ...

Well, I can access the forums again no matter where I am. So at least that's a plus.
