• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Hope the new server hasn't crashed already. :(

I'm getting a 'driver error' message when I bring up home page....

Well, it's not just you, though the details you wrote of differ from what I've seen.

Yesterday I noticed that there were no new files since the day before, and that struck me as rather odd.

Today I can't get in at all; I just get an error page that says "Unable to Connect..."
 
For the past few days, the forums and main page were actually running via the library server, as the main server had failed and was being replaced. I suspect that the "down time" was due to the new server being installed and brought on-line.
 
Seems to working this morning and there is a notice posted on the main page.


AVSIM forum and library services were affected this morning by a temporary service outage resulting from a slight hiccup with the server operating system. The site was unavailable for approximately 3 hrs. The issue was rectified and the site is now functional.

As we are finishing up our server infrastructure upgrades and system updates in the coming weeks, we will continue to keep a close eye on how the services are running. If we expect any outages, it will be posted prominently on the AVSIM.com website.

Alternatively, to stay up to date on any future outages, please visit our Facebook Page. We will post updates there if we are unable to communicate through the website.

AVSIM is staffed completely by volunteers. Our IT volunteer has been spending many of his personal days off at the Ashburn, VA datacenter where AVSIM's servers are caged. As always, we appreciate your support and understanding as we work to make AVSIM's free services better.
