I log in the yesterday and all was good. I log in there today, all is good, When I try to post, I get a redirect that says "Your posting rights have been removed by the administrators" What the!!
....This is not the first occurrence. It happens a few times a week. It's more trouble than I care to deal with just to get my measly repaints in their archives. :173go1:

Fix it.................please!!
 
To me AVSIM is kaput!! Dead as a door nail...since their "crash"(????) the place is a wreck, uploads crash, the forum let´s you in or not, the files are not there....they are no more in my PC....no more.:gameoff::gameoff:
 
Isolated problems are to be expected when changes are being done to infrastructure, new forum software , the recent change to a single user name login for both the forum and file library as well as the current building of the new website by a dedicated team of volunteers could account for some of the issues that are cropping up .

A great deal of care and attention have been spent rebuilding Avsim from a hack , further a great number of Sim Sites have been hacked of late , one might imagine a bit of charity and patience could be had on the part of the simming public for the efforts spent on their behalf by a great many people.

Ya knowww, these hacks kinda remind me of back in 89 when there werent any virus's. First you had the anti virus software, and then you had the virus's..not pointing fingers but it Kinda makes you wonder who's behind it all... or was that too subtle??
 
Just a stupid question, is the upload file in a regular zip file format? I mean,no zipx or something like that? That happened to be a reason for a similar bounce of uploads in the past for me.
If anything else is wrong with the file, the webmasters from AVSIM will contact you (second post in your mailbox). The only other reason might be a detected virus.

I have to admit though sometimes a bit "grumpy", the AVSIM admins have always been straight forward and reasonable with me.
 
Hi Chuck,

This is just when trying t get in the forums.
....The login issues are off and on. One day it's fine, the next day it said I was logged in, then the redirect and the administrators message as stated above. I can't see it being on my end as I've checked everything and deleted cookies. No spyware, no virus's. I even went as far as deleting all the temp files throughout.

Today I bring up Avsim, click on login, and BAM. I'm already logged in. (shrug)

Yes, I know what you mean. I've just reinstalled Windows on my C:\ drive and y'know? Despite not installing any of the 87 !URGENT! Windows security fixes my house hasn't burned down, the world has not stopped turning, and the Pope ain't been shot...

Not only that, everything seems to be running more smooooothly than usual.

Yes, it does make you wonder... :wavey:

For the benefit of certain foreign brethren who don't seem to be able to grasp the global nature of this forum. :applause:

Waddya know, Willy! it's a BBC link... the Brits get what the yanks so insularly miss. There is a world outside Tennessee. Apology awaited, y'all.

you my "friend" are a disgrace to be associated with England
H

is a perfectly good reason to Ban you

Many thanks to the mods for the ban, like Henry I am British living in the Philippines and detest the sort of posts made here.

"you my "friend" are a disgrace to be associated with England", Henry I am Welsh so a disgrace to me too
 
I was wanting to know why this topic got led astray as it did. I made my point when I posted, and Chuck was kind enough and quick to respond to the trouble. Nothing more was needed at that point IMO.

Did you get your thing with AVSIM sorted out allright?
 
To my knowledge no. But I haven't tried to login today. I guess I should try right now. I'll report the results.

Surprise surprise..I'm in. Maybe Chuck looked into the issue.
....If you did, Thanks Chuck :)
 
The only problem I've ever had at Avsim is that the old forum sometimes wouldn't recognise me no matter what. The new one seems better in that respect. Did notice they had no new files listed a couple days ago so maybe having some back office problems. I have a routine of sites I visit every day and avsim is always first. SOH is fourth but only because I want to get checking on new files out of the way before I join in any conversations.

Henry, Thank You! :salute:
:ernae:
 
Glad he is gone.He's so anti US I can shurly see why he would be a disgrace to to the British folks around here.
