Title: What's up with BC Files?
Post by: moed on July 18, 2010, 02:57:42 AM
For the last 2 or 3 days, whenever I go to BC Files I can't see any of the images??

I've tried it on 2 different systems and have used Firefox & IE and still nothing.

I think someone mentioned on the BCF site that it was a glitch their end that's occurred before.  Something to do with servers or site update, and will prob be fixed in day or two.  I'ved used Safari, IE and Opera on both PC and Mac and same issue as you guys so definitely problem their end  :P

 :yeahthat: It seems BCFiles (and Filefront as a whole) has issues every month, makes me wonder if the community should start posting its mods on ModDB or somewhere else...

Thank goodness for that, well in a way!

I was starting to think it was my browser.

when I started seeing it Friday, I checked with other browsers to make sure.  it's definetly universal.  now I have to wait to pick up a replacement Gal X till they have their picture issue fixed.  glad someone's informed them, at least.

It's not just BC Files, it's the entire Filefront network near as I can tell.

Yeah it seems to be all of Filefront, EFFiles has the same issue!

When it comes to a problem with a files site there is no such thing as an isolated incident. If its one its always all. Probably connected to attachments not being visable on the forums aswell.

yeah the img server is down.

and it there a reason, also if they fix this, can they do something about the layout?
Like brand new, and different, not he old Mustard and gray

I never did like BCFiles color scheme, I'd prefer darker colors (probably similar to BCS) to be honest.

Stranger think happened to me this morning other than the pics being down. I was reading the posts on the poll and the reply section was already filled in with some spam story about raping and Jessica Albas. I do hope BC files has not been hacked.

Needless to say I hit the back button rather than post comment.

Checked back again and the comment box was empty!

I know what is going on, but I am not allowed to tell you, seeing as how I am one of the Network Admins for Halofiles.com, letting me have "the inside scoop". limey98 will know the reason aswell if he has checked his email inbox recently.

Lets just say, Break planned it for "the greater good". :)

Just sit tight and everything should be back to a working condition soon.

You're only a Site Admin :), as for the images though that is being sorted out last time that I heard but other than that I can't really say anything else on a public forum, if i did know anything I would probably be shot if i let anything slip :)

It's my dream of "power" that made me use the wrong term. My bad. :P

Oh and to KCS and Nebula what is really happening is *Billz is drugged and gagged with an xbox controller by the Break officers before revealing what is going on*

Was acting very strange just now.   Front page had defaulted back to Feb 2010, and no sign of recent uploads in inventory.  Looks like major glitch happening over there....

I noticed that too... man, what's going on??

another confirmation of the revert to 2/10.  you guys at bcf better check things out.
Title: Re: What's up with BC Files?
Post by: CyAn1d3 on July 21, 2010, 05:27:12 PM
Well file front itself got a face lift and an upgrade, maybe thats whats causing the issues?

umm no it isn't.... it's still stuck Feb and it's missing the left menu.

Sorry, but everything is relevant at BC Files. Everything seems to be interrelated to the proper functionality. I notice that the images are back up but when I tried to download the Laurelin Base I get a "404" error. Also, when I try to view any of the screenshots of it, it takes unusually long to load any of them and some don't even come up.

It seems to be "getting better" but there are still miles & miles to go.

Like I said earlier, Break are on it.

Please be patient. :)

funny, because I've downloaded 7 mods today without a problem, and I also could view the pics without any hitch. You sure it's not your ISP?

Try to download a recent mod. It won't work. Gotta say, I do like this new slimmed down version of the filesnetwork sites. Less functionality means quicker load times!
Title: Re: What's up with BC Files?

Hm.. indeed, recent mods can't be downloaded. Luckily I have beta versions of them.  BWAHAHAHA :evil:

I have a distinct feeling all but the mods submitted before February are GONE.
Title: Re: What's up with BC Files?
Post by: JimmyB76 on July 22, 2010, 06:24:18 PM
no theyre not - i can see all the mods there that were submitted before february...
and all the recent mods are there also...
Title: Re: What's up with BC Files?
Post by: Lurok91 on July 22, 2010, 06:28:27 PM
Concur with Jimmy.  Recent mods still there.  Even though still glitchy on entry page, looks like BCF slowly getting back to original state.

At least you guys can see it. I keep getting "Sorry, you've been banned from this specific page. If you feel this is in error please contact unban @ gamingfiles.com and include what site you are banned from, your username and your IP. Thank you." from my work PC.

This happens every now and then.

I'll just wait till I get home. We are on a shared world wide server so one of my colleagues some where in the world are being naughty with file front.
