Glad to have it back. Seems better this morning than yesterday - couldn't post yesterday (time outs) or refresh.

RFF is hosted on a dedicated server with RAID backup by a large company which hosts thousands of servers, a company that promises expert tech support 24/7 365.
The frustration of the situation has been beyond words.
Welcome Back!

I can't imagine how frustrating this must have been Stephen. I suppose the only silver lining, is that the reactions and comments in this discussion thread prove beyond all doubt, that this site represents so much more than a collection of bytes on a web server. I cannot think of any other forum on the world wide web whose members have accumulated so much photographic experience and knowledge, yet who remain so friendly and good natured. It truly is a one of a kind.
I have missed visiting RFF these last few days. I hope your stress levels are winding down now Stephen and thanks to everyone who helped to get it up and running again.
Regards,
Brett |

I am very happy to see this forum back on line. You were sorely missed as this is my favorite on line community. I was surprised to read a number of negative comments about rff on some other forums. Not my experience here at all.

I agree with Joe 100% on Josh's hospitality. This is a good man.
I visit RFF many times each day. It starts around 8:05am, as I drink my first cup of coffee at work. Then, when I need a 2 minute break, between research and dvising and teaching, I check who is posting at RFF. Then, at night as there are commercials during a TV movie, I visit RFF. Even my children know RFF. My wife knows RFF very well too. She now knows that having RFF for me is better than other things.
It has become a very nice place in cyber space for me, with real life human interaction whenever possible.
Welcome back home.

Yes, it's real slow. But the more patience you have, the faster it gets!

Interesting that only now (Sunday, 21:45 GMT) have I been able to get back on RFF. One thing for sure, I've missed it! Welcome back to all and I hope the frustrations are behind everyone.

It is slow indeed. I thought the reason is that I am accessing it from BG, but since you experience the same problem maybe the hosting is the reason. |

things are moving along. If all goes well, we should be on the new system within a few more days.
Having the cloud for storage means you will be able to upload larger images.
I want to emphasize that no changes to the way rff looks or works is being done at this time. Those are for the future. This is simply a move to a different platform with load balancing and cloud storage.

So RFF seems to be back in business since four days ago already...? And I found this out just a couple of hours ago. I checked in a couple of times a day and until this evening everytime got the dreaded excuse page. How is it that my computers didn't refresh the link?
Well, happy everything seems to be working again as it's supposed to. The Classifieds also, I hope. I have some gear for sale...  |

I've heard of several members that had to force a reload or trash their cache to get rid of it. The "excuse page" redirected off-site, and the redirection may have been from some very rudimentary server, so it seems to have lacked a proper Expires header... |

Yes,
Ctrl-F5 while on the expired page should work on most major browsers.
Once you've done this, the new content should show. |

I'm curious if the upgrade will allow management to consider reinstating the random gallery images on the home page?
