9/2 - Main Site "Down"

[xfrancox]

Just to let everyone know, some members were getting error messages when trying to view the main site. This is what Routine had to say about it.

The "problem" was just that we upgraded the main pages since it was a known security risk with the old version, and everything should be back in order.

You might need to refresh some of the pages because of the cache and we changed the NHL 2K7 name back and forward a couple of times...



So if you are having problems seeing the site because you are getting an error such as :


Illegal variable _files or _env or _get or _post or _cookie or _server or _session or globals passed to script.



Try what he said and it should fix the problem. Please dont make any more threads about it, thanks a lot and I hope this helps.

Erase your cookies, restart Internet Explorer and it will work properly

[xfrancox]

In the meantime I will try not to hold it against you that you're using IE...... ;)

[DaKing240]

I use Firefox also...it depends on what website I am visiting.

[xfrancox]

Im just messing with you.

[RoutineX]

Hmm, does this only happen to the IE users, or everyone?
I've tried to log on to the site with a lot of different computers with different browsers, and still haven't seen that error message...

[xfrancox]

I never saw it, I use Safari.

I'm still getting the error, on every computer I have (6). I have to log through x360a.org ??? wtf

[xfrancox]

Did you clear your cookies/cache.

[Blind Fool]

Might be worth remembering that some ISPs in order to maximise profits use local caches as well, so even if your computer doesn't or is up to date you may be getting a late version of the site due to your ISP.

In this case there isn't much you can do but wait until they update.

[Pitbob27]

Yes i 2 have the error page, but what is a cookies/cache coz i wanna fix the main page right away.

Restart Internet Explorer when done.Also click the delete files button to clear the cache :rolleyes:

[Mr Arrow]

This works but make sure you know all your log-ins and passwords to ALL website you frequent as this will erase them all.

[Mr Arrow]

OK NOW I CAN NOT GET ON WITH EITHER WEBSITE - PLEASE FIX THIS SOON!

And please before I get a lecture, YES I have cleared my cookies and followed the instructions carefully - the problem is getting WORSE.


(I had to google search Wreckon Dracgon, go to his member profile to get acces to this site!)

[Blind Fool]

I've just tried 5 of the links directed to this site and all of them worked (admittedly a couple are slow), given this I would really think its a ISP cache issue or everyone would be getting it...

[Mr Arrow]

Ok I cleared my cookies again and am able to get back on. Man this sucks.

[Minty]

I got it last night, and yes all my cache etc was cleared

[P1NSEEKER]

I still cant access it from my work pc as im blocked from accessing internet options. Is there any way round it?

[EDIT]: Ok i can log on if i go to x360a.org rather than xbox360achievements.org which is weird.

[Waaaaaaaak]

I also work for DWP and get the same problem. It's very strange.

You are probably using a proxy server at work which even if you had the ability to clear your browser cache, the issue would still remain.

Your best bet is if your webmasters are cool would be to have the flush the cache on your proxy.

If you don't know your webmasters its probably going to take 2-3 days until it clears out on its own...at least thats a pretty standard configuration.

[Chris764]

thanks for your help i deleted my cookies and now it works fine

[Crash]

I have been getting the same error when I go to www.xbox360achievements.org (http://www.xbox360achievements.org), but if I go to www.x360a.org (http://www.x360a.org) it works fine. I have cleared the cache and have tried it on 4 different computers. Only one loaded both consistently with no problems. The one that worked fine had XP and used IE7. The ones that didn't had Win2000, WinNT4, and used either SlimBrowser or IE6.

I am still experiencing these same problems, at home and at work. I clear cookies and it works for 5 minutes or one will work while the other won't.

My concern is how many new visitors are being turned away by problems connecting?

[ThaMyth]

i cleared cookies and it worked for awhile then as soon as i rebooted its wanting me to do it again, lol. so imma just check the forums since i dont have to clear my cookies to get here hahaha

[ThaMyth]

nm www.x360a.org (http://www.x360a.org/) works for me not the other =]

[Lifetimer]

I'm not going tothe trouble of clearing all my cookies just to get this one site to work right, are you nuts? Its the responsibility of the site to make itself accessible to me, not the other way around.

Bye Bye Xbox360achievements.org, and I bet I'm not the only one!

[xfrancox]

Sorry to hear that. But if you were gonna leave because of this, you were probably going to leave for something else. And as far as I know, you are the only one. Bye bye.

Ha ha! Can you believe some people! ROFL

[Dark Fury]

What a tit. :biglaugh

[P1NSEEKER]

Should have called himself "part-timer" :D

[snafegeeza]

Oh dear, Another valuble member gone. Cry me a huge river indeed.

[Waaaaaaaak]

LMAO. He visited the site a few hours ago. What a loser.

People always make these empty threats. They're always back though!

[Lifetimer]

Now now, I said bye bye to the main site that is down, I can still see the forums just fine so no problems there. And you guys can posture all you want, but you know that for every one person who announces it, there are dozens and dozens who say nothing and simply never come back. This kind of glitch is a major problem if you are trying to make money from the site. It will simply fade away and eventually die as people move to the sites that give them no trouble.

Unless you're running the site purely for fun (which is cool), in which case don't worry about it.

[Minty]

The site has never been about making money....
