If you are having any errors with your forum on the FFF servers

[BadBoy0]

I noticed that since the server forum overhaul last month for all the FFF IPB forums, that a feature that is part of the Private Messaging (PM) has changed. Perhaps it is a configurable host setting you can change back?

In the user controls Messenger section under the left side user control menu item "Message Tracker" page, there is a section titled "Unread Messages"
Prior to the server/software upgrade last month, my FFF IPB forum offered this under that section: "The messages shown here have not been read by the person they were sent to. You may delete them before they are read."
I could enable message tracking with a checkbox when I sent a PM and could delete the PM completely if it hadn't been read by the recepiant yet, perfect for correcting something I didn't catch right away.

However now after the software/server upgrade on the FFF IPB forums, that feature is gone and now it shows this instead under Unread Messages: "The messages shown here have got a read receipt by the recipient. You can untrack these messages."
It doesn't offer the ability to delete a unread PM anymore now and even checking the listed message to untrack it doesn't seem to do anything.

Can this PM feature for tracking and allowing deletion of an unread PM be restored as it used to be? Thank you for anything that can be done, I used this feature a lot in the past and miss it now. All other forum features seem back to normal and of course the speed and performance has remained great since the upgrade - thanks!

After great reliable speed and performance the past few weeks, I noted for sometime this afternoon I was getting very slow response to any actions on my FFF IPB forum around 4PM Pacific Time. Its somewhat variable, but mostly slow. I'm also seeing slow response on this support forum as well now.
[as of 5PM PT speed seems to have improved, I will continue monitoring thruout the evening]

I bought a new vista machine and has IE 7.0 on it. Those links gave me 403 error under IE 7.0 too. Seems that the new forum is only compatible with firefox and IE 6.0 or lower.

I get a 404 error saying it does not exist. Is there an ongoing problem?

nothing works... all links direct you to a blank screen

First off I see nothing wrong with your forum and secondly you posted in the wrong section mate. You do not have a forum on a forumforfree server.

SQL error: 1064

Can't log into my own Forum. =(. Can someone please help.

I've been getting no response trying to get to my FFF IPB forum so far today.
Now a little after noon Pacific Time, it only produced a page of SQL database error messages, including the old "too many connections" errors.
Are the FFF servers being worked on today?

hi guys

this again:

Unable to connect to database on 'localhost' with user 'p1forum_forums'
Please check your settings in multiforums.config.inc.php!

[BadBoy0]

Yes I and my members also noted some periods of SQL errors the past couple days/nights and associated slowdowns. Seemed to be fixed and working full speed later today though, I hope it stays good performance again.

[ozlion]

hehe yes, seems perfectly fine again now

[BadBoy0]

This morning I again am seeing periods of extreme slowdowns and times of SQL data error messages on my FFF IPB forum: http://www.forumforfree.com/forums/nighthawk.html
