View Full Version : having problems
Almost everytime I acces to a section or a post, or try to post , it says an error of the Server being too busy or sometimes an 404 Error. I've spent 30 minutes only to make this post. Thanks.
I have the same problems. It is imposible to participate in the forum normally. What happens???
I'm not having any problems at all, maybe the problem is with your server only?
Same problem...
Since 2 days it's very difficult for me to be connected and to post a comment...

I am not having THAT problem. But whenever I want to post a picture (not URL), I get an error that my post is too short and should have at least 10 characters, even if my post contains way more than 10 characters

Same problem here. Almost impossible to post.
Again, it is IMPOSSIBLE! What the hell is going on? Solve the problem, this is not normal. It's 4th day now, come on!
Third time I write. It's about one week since the problems started, and I feel those we have these problems are literally ignored. Must be a solution, it is imposible to remain like this.

The problem still continues. The forums works horrible. Is almost imposible to post. It must be a problem of the server, only the administartor can do something, but I guess he is not having the same problems.
Two weeks aprox and still with the same. Can somebody solve this problem please? It's very difficult to participate, and for two weeks it's a signal that something's going wrong.
I don't know what happened, but now the site seems to work normally. I hope there won't be changes.
If someone did something, thanks.
Not for me. Im still having the same problems.
Oh man, sorry for you XD
I don't know if it is a coincidence or not, but I stoped to enter the Forum for 2-3 days aprox. I don't have another explanation.
its been 5 days since I have been having forums problems.
It only happens after I log on to the forum, any remedy for this.
entering 30 to 40 times per screen and getting either server is too busy or 404 error, seems a major issue on your part.
I use Firefox 6.0 if this helps
Nearly 10 days of problems, how long before a fix or is this the best that Eupedia can serve?
I have created a new account, as you can see, and now it runs so smoothly.
It's curious that in my case the problem seems to be solved. Try to enter with you normal account in one week, and will see what happens.
I will try that. Now I need 10 posts to post links and images...
Its been 15 days and still have problems. SINCE THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT, does anyone know how to reset my account to default status.
I cannot create new account as it will not let me.
Anyone help please, I cannot seem to kill my account so that I can create another account and try to fix my massive problem.
please provide a link or instructions or method to kill my registration

I don't understand why you can't create another account...in my case the problem was solved after some days without enter the Forum.
@knovas
I cannot create another account because it says my email address is already in use even though I am logged out.
Also, when my name appears as being logged on , I need to relog on to write in the forums. So, basically I seem to be always logged on , even though sometimes it says so and sometimes it does not.
If I can kill this registraion I can create another ................. can you help or guide me on how to do it

I think the problem is that you have to create a new e-mail adress to associate with the new account. The website probably detects that the e-mail adress you want to use belongs to another person who has already an account here.

Hi, create another account, with the same IP, and it works, but you have to use another username and e-mail. Now after one week without using my normal account, it is working normal.
That's what I thought it would happen Wilhelm. Very good!
new account works fine. I will wait a week and use my old one and see what happens
Good!
It seems the system works, since both Wilhelm and I can use our normal account now. However, I'm still wondering how is this possible...informatics and aspects related are sometimes quite absurd.
I have a problem: I cannot add new people to my friends list anymore.
EDIT: Never mind. Now it works. :)
When I looked, I thought it was another one with the strange problems jaja
Good for you.
I wonder if it's not a cookie problem. If your accounts worked again after logging in with another account (therefore clearing the old account's cookies), then it was maybe just that.
But some of our accounts worked again after some days without connecting...don't know the reason, but it was exactly like this.
I have noticed something: it's impossible to send PMs to the real Maciamo because there is 3 or 4 other "Maciamos" with the same screen name.
I just tested it. Every PM to a Maciamo seems to go this Maciamo:

That's strange. I hadn't noticed that someone used the same username as mine. I don't even know how that is possible. I have banned the three guys who tried to pass for me. I checked the IP addresses. One was from Petach Tikva in Israel, another one from England (Birmingham apparently), and the last one from Baghdad, Iraq ! Quite an audience ! The one from Israel managed to get 89 messages destined to me (all the PM sent to me since October 2010). Fortunately it seems that he didn't open/read any of them. I apologise if I didn't reply to any of your PM's since last year, but I didn't receive any. I will contact vBulletin and inquire how such a thing could have happened.

Thanks. :)
still having intermittent problems , ...........funny how my other account is 100% perfect
That's surprising Maciamo, it seems this people had some strange knowledge on informatics. ¿Do you think they can be related with the problems some users are suffering as it has been mentioned here?
My account seems to work fine for a period and then this happens
- I loose typed information that I try to save to a post, then
- I get timed out and cannot save anything.
The next day it works fine again until " the above scenario"
I can't post anywhere. Somebody is blocking me.
It says: "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."
Same problem for you Goga. Wait one week and try to use your normal account again. For the moment, you can create another account.
What the h*** is happening, I can't even make a new account. It seems that someone has blocked my ip-adres or something.
Is it possible that I've got a ban?
You are not banned, sure. The problem is the server. To create a new account you must do it in another e-mail adress, since the one you are using is only valid for one account.
I have intermittent problems only when my name does not appear automatically when I use the login button.
If no name appears, i use my new account, it name does appear, I know I have no issues with my old account.

Have you been a bad person?
Have you disagreed with someone "special".
Does your mother think you are special?
I waited 1 week before my old account worked ( not like the beginning , but not that bad ) and i did get a email from eupedia, that it seemed someone was using my IP address. ( highly unlikely , but )
Yes, 1 week later everything is working smoothly again!
Maybe I'm going to make another account on the other pc with other ip, in the case if my current ip and account is infiltrated again by some very 'special' people.

Good Goga, seems my "theory" is working. Good for you.
I know it's too bad, I suffered the problem several weeks till find the solution. It was desperating to post a message.

Thanks for the help!
But what's your theory? Why does this happen to some users. I know it is something technical, but I don't know what.
My theory is that if you stop entering the forum a few days (3-7 days), the problem becomes solved, ¿Why? I don't know.
I also don't know why some people has the problem and others not. For what I see, more users are having the problem, so who knows, perhaps all people will have the same problem in different moments.

I had to create a new account with an other e-mail adress...:indifferent:
Keep waiting Gavroche. For the moment use this account, and try again in another week. Perhaps the time could be more than 7 days in some cases, who knows. But I'm pretty sure one day you'll use your normal account again.
I have intermittent problems only when my name does not appear automatically when I use the login button.
If no name appears, i use my new account, it name does appear, I know I have no issues with my old account.
Not to confuse everyone,
The Sile account was set up by me, Zanipolo, due to problems. Since my problems are now intermitten, I gave this account to my brother to use, he uses it very rarely. So , to clarify, if SILE is used , its 90% by me, Zanipolo, as my account is playing up.
Thankyou for the explanation Zanipolo, it makes sense now.
So if others have had to create new accounts because of problems, how do we know who is who?
Edit. Just a thought. Do you always have to log in? I always tick the keep me logged in box thingy and have never had a problem. Or are you using different computers? Admittedly I don't understand much of this computer stuff:sad-2:

I use that but it does not work, so , like now, no name appeared on log on screen, so my old account does not work .
I also cannot leave eupedia on this window or else I am auto logged out, I have to open a second window to use for other stuff.
Maybe firefox 7.0 will help

This approach certainly does not work for me. I have been forced to get another account. The problems with the old one simply won't go away no matter how long I wait without login in, and it doesn't look like whoever maintains site's inner workings cares or knows how to fix this extremely annoying problem that is forcing some of us to abandon our old accounts.
Oh, sorry Drac. For the moment use the new account and keep trying week by week, who knows if one they your normal account will be available again. It's curious some cases seem to be very difficult to solve.
does Eupedia have its won spellchecker as I seem to not have it anymore , even though my browser and other apps has the spellchecker active
whats wrong with this stupid forum, if i take more than 2 minutes to write, it does not save and asks me to relog.............in which case i lost all written stuff.
get some new programmers

I once had this problem, but it's easily fixed by clearing your cookies. If not, the problem is with your computer.
why do I have to log on more than ONCE when I enter into an archival thread ? .........it always says I do not have persmission and log again. which means I got to log out, then relog in...........seems very weird
Each time I post anything with more than few sentences ,it will not post as I have been timed out ! (same as Zanipolo) I have cleared cookies but it still happens . Rather frustrating.
Everything else works fine.

Try changing the cookies settings in your browser. What browser (and what version) are you using ? When is the last time you upgraded your browser ?

Well strangely enough it was suggested to me by a family member about a fortnight ago that I should update my browser Maybe that is the problem, I`ll have it checked later.
In meantime, thanks for quick reply.
What is the little star at bottom of each box for ? I dont seem to have one, does it matter ?
I think you're referring to reputation star. It has the same meaning like + and -, at top of the post box. The star should give much more credit than just +. I'm not sure though, the credit ratings were set by Maciamo some time ago.
You don't see the star under your box, because it doesn't make sense if people give credit/reputation to themselves.

I actually realised that about 25 seconds after posting Le Brok. I have never used the star as I usually go to right top of page and hit that if I read something I like or find interesting. I must use the star in future though. Thanks :)
I have a problem with my signature under the posts.
When I am writing a post, I am seeing it, but when I
send post, it is perished. Why it is not visible?
