FL-JOE Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 A few days ago I discovered my Escapees membership had expired. I renewed. The next day or so I clicked on this forum and......nothing. Continued through yesterday morning until I finally got an email answer that the site was down and they were fixing it. Is this a common?

Dutch_12078 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 No, it's not a common occurrence here, but like all things electrical or mechanical, failures do occur from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbaraok Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Every once in a while there will be a problem - usually only notice it is it occurs Friday evening and then the staff is off for the weekend and it doesn't get fixed until Monday morning. This has nothing to do with your dues to Escapees - - whether or not you are a dues paying member, you can still be on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twotoes Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 There was a major internet outage over last weekend affecting many sites and ISPs. It affected the NorthEast Coast, TX and parts of the West Coast. This may be the reason Escapees Forum was down. I was not able to sign in all weekend either.

The Escapee forums are not hosted "in house" like their website is. I know of at least one other internet forum that was also down for roughly the same period of time.

No idea, but something obviously broke somewhere given how wide spread the outage was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the guys in IT, the failure was with the forum host, not something under the Escapee IT department's control. Most likely some type of digital glitch but who knows.......
