    Maybe mod can do a restart on the server or something like that?? Most of the times this works when network is running slow or things don't work in the office

    Best regards, Nick

    What @bisco said. Mods can do a lot, but they can't get anywhere near server access.

    Anyway, with all the times the site has been down in the past year, I'll bet it's been restarted lots of times since this problem first reared its ugly head. :(

    Real frustrating, I started a thread regards not being able to start a conversation, seems to be a setting for members, can't PM or start a conversation so hopefully admins see this reply. Admins aren't corresponding with Verticalscope or Xenforo to investigate this issue?

    Cannot start conversation, workaround via XenForo? | PriusChat

    Unbelievable! How can admins not have access.

    Verticalscope website down. Problems Verticalscope as well?

    Torstar paid roughly $200 million for a 56 per cent stake in VerticalScope Holdings Inc., a digital media company with 600 consumer enthusiast forums and content sites. VerticalScope posted an operating loss of $3.6 million in its most recent quarter Jan 2020 and Torstar said revenues there “continued to be impacted by the ongoing transition of user forums to a new technology platform (ie.Xenforo).”

    This site is NOT owned or operated by Verticalscope.
    As such, they are not involved.

    The software is a custom version and may not be supported by Xenforo either.

    At any rate, as long as the OWNER doesn't care enough to do something about it, your complaints will just be a waste of time.......as most of the complaints have been over several YEARS.

    Your time and energy will be better spent on something else.

    Didn't say Verticalscope was involved in ownership or ops. Obviously you don't have a clue, are you an admin?

    Custom version? What does it say at the bottom on every page on PC?

    Obviously your time and energy will be better spent on something else.

    Moderators are not administrators. If you can get the administrator to do anything, you're better than the rest of us.

    Did I say mods are admins? Obviously someone's lost interest in their plaything.

    Everything I've said is true.
    If you would LISTEN, maybe you would learn something useful.

    As for having a "clue", I've been on this site for about 7 years now.......and have been running "Internet" forums since before there WAS an Internet.

    Additional insults will be ignored.......or reported, maybe.

    Insults? Report me? Hilarious. Posted exactly what you posted. Running forums? Xenforo in plain sight?

    Obviously reporting doesn't seem to work.

    Right click page source, first line Xenforo. 7 years, since before Internet?

    I did say that it had been heavily modified.
    What, you think that the original author(s) follow all the copies of their software all the time ??

    And it doesn't look like you understand English either.
    7 years here and running BBS systems before the Internet are two DIFFERENT items.

    But then I expect that you already know that and are just stirring crap for the "fun" of it.

    Before the internet there was a net. And there were forums. Pretty contemporaneous there were BBSs. AT the same time there were over 550 DC area BBSs there was the Multics Forum and before that ...

    But not the Rav4 Hybrid or any of the plug-ins.

    And yes, it is hard for some of those of us who go back to the 60s and mainframe forums and hundreds of BBSs to see the ignorance of history. But when I'm tempted, I think of how many things I'm ignorant of.

    (Online since the mid 60s)

    Right, you have a copy of the Xenforo software, heavy modified ? OK whatever you say.

    I notice it doesn't take much for you to stir crap, probably why any discussion with you ends up with folks ignoring you.

    Give your blood pressure a rest.

    Thankfully I had sent a direct message to the party I was trying to message previously:).

    Had I not, it's difficult to ask something only their eyes can see:whistle:.

    Hoping for a fix soon(y).
