The ATS Issues Thread

reply to post by zazzafrazz


Hehe sorry but



Got to love people redoing videos

G'day

Last night Oz time (about 12 hours ago), I couldn't log into ATS for about 6 hours.

I kept getting that warning "oops this link appears to be broken".

I checked to ensure I was using the correct address.

All other sites I tried appeared to be working just fine.

This morning, I logged into ATS without a problem.

Is anybody aware of any tech issues that arose on the ATS side?

It was all very traumatic for me.....

First I couldn't get onto ATS.....

Then I ran out of Top Gear videos.....

Kind regards

Is it possible the PTB were trying out their new gov't mandated Australian Internet Filter?

G'day masqua

Isn't that Oz gov internet filter issue a shocker?

I always knew the Rudd gov would be bad, but this.....

I just can't believe they'll actually do it.

Surely not.....

Anyway....regarding the tech issues.....

Things are still a little slow on ATS for me this morning.....I just had IE lock up a couple of times again when entering threads.

I'll bet it's something on my side, but I don't know what.

I thought the Epic Beard Man thread might have blown the board up

This ATS-specific "slowness" happened to me intermittently a couple of weeks ago.

Oh well.....

Kind regards

G'day again masqua

In this thread, there are some Aussies stating they experienced the same long ATS "blackout" yesterday that I have mentioned.

I confirm it's still a little slow as of this morning.

I wrote to SO reflecting on this because I am of the impression that is the preferred course of action with these tech issues.

Kind regards

Oh i hope that doesn't happen..we need and love our ats aussies!!!!

I have no idea why, but I can NEVER post coloured text, or text of different sizes, using the thread:

A Guide to BBCode on ATS

I HOPE THIS WORKS

Lets see!!!!

As usual it works in the preview BUT.....

Well I'll be damned, I cannot believe it!

Lets try resizing!

IT CAN'T WORK AGAIN

Apostrophies are apocalyptic with BB Code

Saaaweet, honestly folk that's the first time EVER it has worked for me, it will make titles a lot more interesting than just Bold!

Lets try them together:

NO WAY THIS WILL WORK!

Works in the preview...

Okey doke, thanks for that....

take 2

IT CANNOT WORK

Lets see!

Thanks Masqua,

This is a very big moment for me on ATS!

I've toiled away just using bold, now I can really do some damage!!!

All the best mate!

I always found it frustrating as well, until I learned the trick.

Now I can say Moon and feel proud about it.

Resize FAIL!
I usually can get it to work if I copy/paste the entire sentence into the Resize skittle ... especially for signatures and junk, but for some reason it isn't cooperating now.

Ahh don't worry mate, I've been having issues with size ever since I joined up!

er hang on let me rephrase that......

It's probably the most annoying bug on ATS

Isn't it?
