Ok guys, I think I know what the problem might have been. We run daily backups for the site and database in the early hours of the morning. A large, and temporarily locking, database backup job would have been running around 3am PST (7am AST), so already, that sounds very suspect. Looking at my...

Hmmm - not good. Ok, back to checking the logs. Thanks guys!

Hey Craig - Appreciate the heads up. Are you getting back any error messages (eg. HTTP 500) from the server or just blank pages entirely? Is it the same time everyday?

Hey Frank, Everyone is always welcome to full access to all of the helpful knowledge, wisdom and advice on OTT 100% free of charge. If you are interested in ways to support the site with a bit of financial backing, that does not involve PayPal, I've sent you a private message (PM) that covers...

Afternoon folks, If you have signed up for a membership, prior to April 20, 2014, and have not yet received your decals, please contact me in PM or email and let me know. When I receive a membership sign-up notification it does not include your mailing address so I fire off an email to find...

Hey guys - are you still seeing this issue coming up? If so, can you take a screen capture next time and email it to me along with the browser and browser version you are using? email to mrk@orangetractor...com Hopefully I'll be able to reproduce the issue and then follow it up from there. I'd...

Hey there - is this still broken for you? Anyone else seeing this? I'd like to continue to offer a way for folks using their smartphones an easy way to browse the site.

Hello there Jim, I appreciate you posting your concerns. I think some of them may have already been addressed/explained in this earlier post of mine when Ron stated similar thoughts: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?p=83196#post83196 If you are still not satisfied with...

Yep, lsmurphy's got the right answer. :)

Hello folks - Something that we have been thinking of lately is perhaps introducing series-specific forums alongside those that we have already. For example, we might start with these: B Series BX Series L Series M Series This would allow owners of the models that fall under those series a...

Gonna lock this thread for now. Maybe I'll thaw it out in the New Year!

Hey rScotty - The reason the system prevents smaller search terms (3 characters or less) is because it puts a lot of strain on the server to search for small worlds like that. For example, someone could search for "the" and the search results would be nearly every post/thread ever created. The...

Spammer banned. Thanks for the heads up!

Ok, sounds like we're back on the right track. :)

Hello Ron and others, thank you for posting your concerns, The membership program is a new one so there are some kinks to be worked out. I am certainly open minded regarding tweaking it a bit to make sure that our regulars receive good value for their support dollars while at the same time not...

Ok, lemme track this down again. Thanks!

Gah! I was told they would not show up anymore. Can someone take a screenshot and send it to me? mrk@orangetractortalks.com Sorry gents.

Ok, I've reached out to the right people to get this resolved. It might take a bit of time. Can you keep a look out and let me know? It's luck of the draw regarding which ads are pulled for the page so it's difficult for me to confirm the ad type has been changed or pulled. Again, my apologizes.

Ok gotcha. I'll ask our advertising agent to block those ads from appearing on the site. Sorry guys! Will get this fixed.

Hmmm - we haven't planned on any of these outages so this is news to me. Next time you get told the site is not reachable would you mind just noting the time (and your timezone) and then passing along that information to me? I will be able to look through the service logs to see what might be...
