And there is no way to turn off auto-updates? That is truly strange. It is really easy to do in phpBB. |

I'm not really sure how many times I have to tell you this, but the old software and this current software are not phpBB, so let's drop the comparisons as they are not relevant. ;) There has to be some way to turn it off. I'm simply failing miserably at figuring it out! That's what has me so ticked. I just can not fathom a website software that's used widely with business could randomly go into "update" mode. I'd suspect many customers/clients would be extremely pissed. Thus, I feel there is a way, I'm just not figuring it out fast enough. |

I don't know where you got the idea that I thought it is phpBB. If it were, the comparison would have made much sense, would it.  My point is that phpBB, for all its limitations, makes a lot of things really easy that seem to be more difficult in other packages. And yes, that thought has occurred to me repeatedly: If this were a commercial business, customers would go away. There have been a number of posts I didn't make because of the downtime. |

And yes, that thought has occurred to me repeatedly: If this were a commercial business, customers would go away. There have been a number of posts I didn't make because of the downtime. I've never said you thought this software, nor the last, were phpBB. I am tired of the comparisons attempted to be drawn between them. I could name off dozens of software that do not randomly go into Under frickin Construction mode, or do this, or have that, or whatever else. I don't see how naming them helps at all, SINCE this software is NOT one of them. "Well its easy to turn off in phpBB" has no relevance in this discussion since PH.com will never convert to phpBB (which is forum only, with a select few interactive add-ons) and is not phpBB. The problem with the site going under construction is mine, because I'm not able to figure out how get it to stop. The last thing I can check is the table that contains the version number and make sure it matches the DLL. If that doesn't work, I have no other options other than kidnapping one of the DNN developers and forcing them to make it stop. |

my problem with the thumbs is I usually don't know what I did to get one both + & -. I have comments in a lot of boards as do others and I don't go running back to look at all of them to see which comments people like/dislike. Every once in a while I glace over at the running total and see it is changed. Once of the things I like about the "thanks" button is I can track down what got the thanks.
Not that it matters in the greater scheme of things. |

Excellent point, wpr. I was actually just getting ready to write a post suggesting that a cool feature would be if people could leave a little rationale for why they gave a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. It would be interesting to go back and read these comments.. (Though Kevin would probably just say, "Write them in the thread! I am jus thinking such comments would unnecessarily clutter the threads.) |

I agree, wouldn't that be a bitch if the subject of this thread, the under construction issue happened in the middle of a game? lol Here's to hoping that the subject of this thread doesn't continue to be an issue!! |

I tried to access the forum last night and got the following message: Quote:WebsitePanel Error
Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request. Then when I tried to email you to inform you of it, I got the following message returned to me: Quote:Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: kevin@packershome.comTechnical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 Domain has been disabled. (state 14). When I tried to go directly to packershome.com, it sent me to the Cpanel instead. By the way, the current FavIcon for the site is Arvixe's own FavIcon. |

The CPanel thing is because I over looked the invoice for this month. I'm still month to month until I'm comfortable committing to 6 months or more. It was my fault, I got really busy this weekend and had planned on re-upping this morning. It just turned out this morning was too late. :) |
