Technical Problems

[Graham]

Apologies for the Technical Problems that you may have noticed over the past 48 hours here on CraftTelly.com.

The problem was with www.shoppingtelly.com (http://www.shoppingtelly.com) but each time that crashed it switched off this site for safety reasons.

Thank you for sticking with us and once again I am sorry for the inconvienence this has caused.

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

Graham that is perfectly understandable

[Graham]

We are still working VERY hard to resolve the problems, thank you for sticking with us.

[craftycat]

really getted spooked when I can't have my "natter" on this forum. Thanks for all the efforts G.!

[Graham]

But it's still at it and there doesn't seem to be a problem with the Shopping Telly Forum.

And there clearly isn't with this one now - durr! If the prob is solved, Graham, there's no need to answer my PM.

Sadly we are still have problems, we aere working on them and do apologise.

[Graham]

If I can not resolved the problems over the weekend I will buy a new server on Monday and migrate everything over to the new one, you have been very patient but it has to be getting on your nerves now :) and I need some sleep.

[Graham]

The move to the new server will be finished tomorrow, I thought in the meantime I would open this, as better to have this than nothing at the moment.

[craftycat]

Yay miss you guys so much when I can't post!

[Rentochops]

Agreed Crafty Cat picked up a horrible cold and stomach upset so I wanted to come and have a lovely chat.

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

i know and i missed both forums so badly

[angela]

well done Graham and thanks, can't wait till st. is up and running again

[budgie]

me too. it gets lonely out here when it is down!

[LoobyLou]

So glad to see it up and stable. It's like having your right arm cut off at the elbow when you load firefox and not CT pops up :sad:

For your Graham for all your hard work and consideration of this lovely site :flower::flower::flower:

[Beverley]

I know I am a newbie over here but I have really missed the forum when it has been down. I am glad everything is working again.
Thank you Graham, you are a star :)

[Millburn]

a big thank you from me too; changing servers is hugely hard work

[lolathelamb]

The move to the new server will be finished tomorrow, I thought in the meantime I would open this, as better to have this than nothing at the moment.Graham, I used to run a website myself and I KNOW exactly how hard it is to change anything let alone the server. Sometimes though you have to take things by the scruff of the neck and shake them good and hard! Well done & thank you.

[Graham]

We haven't moved yet so may still have problems, I am putting CrafTelly.com on it's own dedicated server so as top avoid the problems we have had this week.

[Graham]

I have almost completed the move of ShoppingTelly.com from this current server, I am hoping that willm resolve the problems that we have been having.

As soon as the ShoppingTelly.com moved is complete I will start the work to move CraftTelly.com to it's owen dedicated server.

I can only apologise but I think there is now light at the end ofv the tunnel, just hoping its not a train :)

[LorraineJ]

Thank you for all your hard work. I have really missed CT and ST but my house is grateful.

[Rentochops]

oh thank goodness, being off sick is no fun without the forum!

[lolathelamb]

Missed you all...mourning isn't much fun without my crafty mates. What a monumental task Graham!

[Dips]

I can only apologise but I think there is now light at the end ofv the tunnel, just hoping its not a train :)

Graham, absolutely no need to apologise. This sounds like it's all costing a lot of money - is now the time to remind members that they can become VIP members by making a donation (doesn't need to be lottery-win sized, more like lottery-ticket sized) that helps with the upkeep of this site?

BTW, another craft forum that is run by a manufacturer is about to introduce a subscription - so we should count ourselves lucky over here!

[LoobyLou]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Graham.

Since the site has been flakey I have come to realise how much I enjoy my daily visits here, reading and posting and just sharing life with my crafting friends. I now know I would be lost without this place to let of steam, share ideas and just generally chill out.

So again I thank you!

I thought it was me at first as I had to do a clean reinstall of windows on the desktop the other week and can't get on the set on that. It's a password thing. Then when I couldn't get on on the laptop I could see it was the site.
I realise the headache and work that goes into changing servers as the fish site I mod on has changed servers a few times. Has recently had a total revamp and that takes time to build items back up. But one or two members tend to get impatient and complain about little things.
Thanks Graham. I don't get on here much but it's good to know it's still here when I do .

[kate0673]

lovely to have Craft Telly back, have really missed it. Looking forward to ST being restored soon. I don't post on either much but have really missed my daily "fix". So thank you Graham for all your hard work.

[lee]

thanks Graham been missing this site.

[lolathelamb]

Thanks Graham - lovely to be back among mates!

[Rentochops]

Thanks Graham - lovely to be back among mates!

totally agree, it unreal how much you miss this place when it's not here (thank goodness for Facebook - actually there has been an up-side cos I've met more peeps from here).

Wish Graham could engineer Phree coming back...:flower:

[LoobyLou]

Has Phree left us for good ROC? I just assumed she was not currently posting due to her recent loss.

Looby

[budgie]

I totally agree, I felt lost without the forum. Thanks again Graham!

Do hope that Phree will come back on.
