Anyone else having trouble opening the Zappa.com forum? When I try to load the page, the server says it can't be found. This is worrying...

Doesn't work for me, it didn't work this morning either.

Here neither. Two days ago, an administrator (gee, didn't even know they still had one) posted on the boards that they were going to upgrade the entire site soon and migrate to new message board software. That might be the reason, or it's just some technical error, I guess

Whoa, I missed that... That could be the reason. When the forum crashed last summer I got loads of codes rather than a page not found message.

Same for me yesterday, but normal today.

Yes it works well now.

Wanted to log in just then... got a "we're doing forum maintenance" page.

So did I.

I got in just fine.














April fools.

:pissed:
Damn! Should have guessed!.

PS Scallopino: your shoe-lace is untied.

Still doesn't work.

I noticed the zappa forum was in maintenance mode Saturday morning in OZ time. It's now Sunday morning and it's still unavailable. I came here thinking I would find lots of zappa forum addicts compensating, but I was wrong.

no poly mate i say you got it right.they welcomed me :guitar:now part of the goose.

Yes, troubles here. My original password was deleted and the one supplied by "Packardgoos" sent to me in email worked only once. To add further mystery, when the new password failed I tried the old one and it worked.
Very strange!

Life is strange sometimes
I think the cause lies in the upgrading of the forum and the back up on data we had to install. Anyhow welcome here.

So all it takes to recruit some new members for the 'goose is some Zappa forum downtime. . . This gives me some ideas. :P

Anyway:

Welcome Batchain!

Welcome Bat.

As I've already said, I've been reading about the progress of this forum for some time now and I'd already considered visiting. This weekend's down time was just a catalyst.

Thanks for the welcome! Yes, this gets even stranger: I can never tell when the Packardgoose site is just going to let me right in and when it's going to require a "password" which means it probably won't take *anything* I give it - but not always!
Hrmm...I've been set to wondering, "Oh, I *do* wonder what ideas scallopino has cookin' in his head?":rsvd:
