• 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.

Is anyone else having SOH download trouble?

SOH-CM-2025
Is anyone else finding that no matter what hotlink you select on the SOH file library main page, that the main page simply reloads?

Any idea what is wrong?

As I understand it files are being transferred to the new server so normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. ;)
 
I haven't downloaded anything from this site for some time.

I do have a problem though. None of the pictures of downloads show. I don't know if it is a problem with SOH or my PC settings (I am still in the process of customising my PC after a reinstall of XP). SOH is the only flight sim site I have this problem.
 
Last year this site was attacked so viciously that the server was destroyed....a new server was purchased and everything was restored from back ups. Some of the files in the download library, unfortunately, were lost or corrupted. The preview images were nearly all lost....and the effort needed to go into each of those packages, create a new preview pic and link it to the download simply isn't worth the effort...it would be a huge undertaking requiring several staff members.

Currently, the site is getting two new, faster, bigger, better servers....we have out grown our current server. It simply can not handle the amount of uploads, downloads and traffic...as a result you will notice some things that are not working, such as the file library...it is shut down during this process. Also, some services and features have either been shut down or scaled back to reduce the load on the current server to keep it from burning out until the two new servers are up and running.

Obio, thanks for that. I was aware of the attack last year.
The preview images of the latest uploads don't show on my PC as well as some of the old file previews.
Since my PC got attacked and infected a few weeks ago, I have tightened up on my PC security and I suspect that might be responsible, but I am not 100% sure, hence the query. As I mentioend it is only SOH (that I am aware of) that I cannot see any previews.
