beverly nikos Can we please get you all to fix whatever is going on with the forum being continuously down. Last night in particular, it was really hard to access the forums while many of us were trying to collectively follow the events in Ferguson. We pay yearly and part of that money should be going towards making sure the forum experience is pleasant. Can you please upgrade the servers and update the forum layout so that it modern with features like the ability to embed Youtube videos in posts?

I'm a member of many free forums and the posting/reading experience is so much better than it is here.

Yes I had a terrible time accessing the forum most of yesterday long before the Ferguson news conference.

Also I have been getting the same message intermittently on other days lately as well.

Yes last night it was impossible to get on - it's ridiculous that a site this size can go down so frequently

I got this a lot last night, but to be honest, I get this daily when I leave the site and can't get back on.

Also I saw several of my messages from last night were not posted in the Michael Brown thread

This is the message I have been getting lately and actually got it a few minutes ago....again. :( This is becoming a daily occurrence.

Some of the areas are temporarily down for routine maintenance and/or upgrades. This maintenance should be finished shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience. Have a great day!

Warmly,

This is the other error message that I get and I just got it which is the reason I am posting in this thread again. So in the span of a few minutes I have gotten 2 different error messages and was unable to get on the website.

Not Found

The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

My way of getting around that message on the main page is to access the forums from a link in my browser history. Since I'm usually in the entertainment part of the forum, the link to the entertainment forum comes up first in my browser history. That usually works, tho lately sometimes that doesn't even help.

Summer where are you?
As paying customers we shouldn't need shortcuts or ways to get the site to work. It should be working smoothly. We all understand that during periods of high volume there will be some outages but this site is ALWAYS DOWN. It's a shame.

I wish we could get an upgrade like a few years back with video embedding. We are overdue for one.

Yea. Im almost strictly using the app and it was horrendous. Then I'd try the website and got the 404. It was literally like every 10 mins while trying to keep up with Ferguson.

I've been also having trouble accessing the forum, however, I found a way to get through, even when it says it's down.

I literally have to type: www.longhaircareforum.com. So, I literally type the www.

Or, I'm able to connect through an old link that I've looked at previously.

The site has been a mess for a while now and the app. App constantly crashes, site is slow, and at times unresponsive and now the 404 errors have been frequent.

Have any mods/Admin even addressed these concerns?

Just wanted to add that I've been surprised how poorly the site functions and how much it's down in light of the fact that it's the only site on the web I pay to access.
