so ingenious !

^^ The irony of life. We tend to feel that a troubleshooting forum can't go wrong, it's gotta be our computers that's acting up. :lol:

why the forum was down ???? hackers attacked ??

@pearl groupz
Cant stop myself from :lol:

they had the problem with the forum's database...

Its very frustrating.........they should've put at least some message in Thinkdigit homepage....

I was thinking about writing to the editor(didn't know who to ask

) today....

I thought some upgradation in progress, but still the same theme, the same ad's...

nothing .. the db wud v simply blown ...for several days i had the issue of not being able to make posts abv 3-4 lines ...i had to refresh 15-20 times for the post to be uploaded frm my textbox in the browser to the forum db .... no one heard my plea.

issue still persists

My problem exactly, it's been happening all this week. I can browse fine but my every input including posting, moderation etc requires 20-30 re-tries every time. It sucks.

I will see for some time more, if things don't change for the good, I might as well just quit the forum.

I was at CP only, had a class. Heard the blast but thot it was just a metallic clang. Then got fone call from home to leave the place ASAP.. n saw the mess outside

I was out but on other side of Delhi so I am safe. But tinkering with database on weekends is not a great idea. Admins leave it as is and we end up with a weekend sans forum

I found it hard to live without my favourite forum. It's good now that it's back.

I thought they might be upgrading vBulletin to 3.7.3 or might be adding some new themes / or fixing some errors in this forum.

Can we please have the Kirsch Theme Back? (Its available for free from vbulletin.org for version 3.7 onwards)I know there is a tutorial to get the theme back but it reduces some functionality as it was made using 3.6 version of the Theme...
Anyways I Hope there aren't any more downtimes ...
