I got this error message when I tried to attach some photos to a forum post:

An Error Has Occurred!
The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

I've reported it in case they haven't noticed it They may not be aware of it.

Thanks eyore!

Does SirLamer know about the continuing problem when you receive a PM?  I.e., you have to click on the Cancel button a few times instead of the Okay button to get to your PMs, and then you're in your Outbox folder so you need to click on the link to your Inbox folder?

I also tried to upload a torrent and got an error message. Tried multiple times to no avail.

I tried to upload a test torrent and also encountered an error.  When you try to upload the .torrent file to MouseBits, you get this error message:


=============================
|           ERROR           |
|---------------------------|
|  Error moving torrent...  |
=============================


Sounds like it could be a write permission problem.

That is the exact same problem I was encountering. Thanks Pixielated.

I'm sure they are working on the problems but, after the problems over the last two occasions are taking it slow and easy.

I agree, it would be sad (and ironic) to have a repeat of the Summer 2014 outage.
Just listing problems in a more permanent area than the Shout Box.

somewhere like here is a good idea (if people could be persuaded not to comment too much but just to list any problems they had rather than discuss it). I don't have any more contact/access routes than anyone else really although I can contact the mods more directly for general stuff. I don't think they know much more than we do at the moment and SirLamer seems to be the one working on it in his free time. Maybe a new thread "current site issues" would help?

Maybe a Mod can rename this thread to something like "Fall 2015 site issues"?

I know I could PM the Admins and Mods directly but I felt that posting the issues in a forum would be more helpful since others could see what the known problems are instead of wondering if they are doing something wrong.

[eyore]

sorry, obviously too subtle, I was being slightly tongue in cheek there.
Seriously, I'm sure the mods will be reading this but I have no idea how closely they work with SirLamer or if they could/would try and alter anything. I'm not that much in the loop.

We just need to post occasional reminders that some things aren't working and keep our fingers crossed.

I can think of

Unable to upload torrents
Unable to search in the forums
Difficult to get into postbox

Any others?

Well there's also the fact that the site width is still majorly screwed up. But that was a problem even before the service loss.

[eyore]

not noticed that. Is that on PC or a mobile device? Mine looks the same as it's always done on PC and I don't see a problem.

I've seen it on Windows, Mac OS X & Linux with all browsers.  This is a screen grab of MouseBits in a maximized Chrome window.  The page contents don't expand to fill the full width of the window.  I'm wondering if it's a HTML/CSS style setting left over from when the site used to have banner ads.

how did you post the screen shot? I still can't post  them.
