FF Blog: Sorry for the downtime!

I thought you banned access from my country or my ISP blocked FF. Glad site is back.

Nice you've sorted things out.

thank God u guys r back, twas very akward not being able to access the site.

Next time try turning it off then on again.

yeah, I got worried this morning, 17 hours back when it said you guys (ff) were not online. had to get the news times from forextimes and it was not the same. thank god you guys are back.

NICE... I was like,"whaaaat?".

no problem guys, you're doing great job :-)

i love u FF

Chip failure , whoa normally load balances induce session state application issues .....

FF u guys are best

Back up, great thanks guys

All the other sites suck big time please don't let this happen again.

All the tapering chit chat probably caused "overload"

I'm just thankful you you appear to have fixed the frighteningly large, oblong blue mostly empty structure over the newest message on any thread..... by removing it! FF went down shortly after I couldn't resist posting 4 notes to the Contact Us area hoping to reach someone about this... I couldn't have been the only one writing... I wrote that I would switch to babypips.com, reluctantly, if the blue rectangle had for some unfathomable reason to remain.

It was truly awful - but now... at least so far (I haven't gone to any threads except this one).... it seems GONE.

I bet that square is the obscure issue you mention... it seems, at least ot me, on the face of it to be totally unconnected to a load balancer issue.

Hey, no problem Scot. I know from experience how frustrating and stressful these technical problems can be. It's nice of you to apologise for what is essentially a free service (and a great one at that). Thanks!

was there a problem with ff blog? huh

Great work to the development team.

Just went into a thread, and, after a few clicks to scroll the page down, the rectangle popped up. It's still there. It covers about 1/3 of the most recent post on any thread.

Initially, when you click on a thread, it is as normal; once you start to scroll, the rectangle pops up.

All it has is past pages listed vertically, and a lot of empty space.

I have now rediscovered alternative news outlets - amazing the good that can come out of someone else's mishaps.

Maybe FF will consider upgrading on weekends (when the markets have closed) in the future?

Traders DO need reliability ... and back-up ... I have learned from this not to depend on anyone for essential info.

Having said that ... it's good that the problem has been identified and fixed. Appreciate that this is freely available, and wish you well in future upgrades ... just let us know in future when you are tinkering with the unbroken model

You don't know how I felt during the downtime. I just felt like one of my arms broke. But it happens how big you are. So I wasn't fed up, annoyed, irritated or anything like that. But disappointed.

Be proud that you have many fans. Such incidents will prove it again.

Not a problem! Just glad you guys are back online!

lol tbh I thought some worldwide financial crisis had occurred...or some such thing...all is well now

These things happen. Love the site and get a lot out of it...so thank you.

Watching the DailyFX quote screen was just not the same without you FF! I thought work had blocked my computer from accessing your site as I am on it 24/7!

Blame Twee

Keep it up and going... Just don't go off forever...

You are still the best under my bookmarks.

noted and understood.

thanks.

regards

FF is the best !

NO forex factory trading just wont be the same..glad to see u back!!

ps twee u the da man...haha

It's just not good enough, pay peanuts and you get monkeys.

[sarcasm]

Scot,
Thanks for explaining (not that I would understand all that)
But I'm grateful your back up and running.

It's a fantastic site and just the fact people missed it so
much is a credit to you.

Thanks again Scot for a fantastic site - I'm sure people don't say it enough - even though we all think it.

It certainly made me realise just how important FF is to my trading day, and I now value you guys and what you do/provide even more than I did before!!!

You are doing a really great job guys!Thanks!!!!!

Guys, whats the deal with trade explorer? It just wont connect with my investor pass since last Friday. This same password I have used on other sites and it works fine, but not on FF. I have submitted help tickets but no one has answered. Is this an issue with the broker?
