tallnthensome Posted January 21, 2019 #426 Share Posted January 21, 2019 It's amazing that it's a problem that happens over and over again which tells you it isn't fixed. It's weird that it only affects certain forums and not the whole site. Like the other poster said, to see these error messages in this day and age is very disappointing. I doubt there is a single person who feels the new site is in any way, shape, or form an upgrade from what we used to have. Quite the opposite ...... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrotfeathers Posted January 21, 2019 #429 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Is this what it is like to try and quit smoking or drinking soft drinks? I'm worried that I'm so aggravated over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grburkart Posted January 21, 2019 #430 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Maybe this is a blessing! Not. But it gives us something in common that substitutes our normal chat activities. If this is how we meet new people, so be it. I’m trying to get on the Princess threads for my cruise in October. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going crazy not being able to access the boards. If you are otherwise able to access other web sites, and just having problems with one site, the problem generally isn't on your end. (Especially if that one site right now is THIS ONE!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjonis Posted January 21, 2019 #433 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Sigh. I dunno, after this, I'm going to use "that which shall not be mentioned". The unreliability of MySQL is well-known for those of us in IT (even before Oracle bought it, it was an unreliable piece of garbage compared to PostGRE SQL). Too bad, really liked CC, but obviously this is going to be a continuing and on going problem. Wouldn't be as bad if it didn't last for days at a time. 😞 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted January 21, 2019 #434 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Not able to get on the Celebrity board... Maybe merging the EDGE threads has made it too busy! Roll calls are okay...,so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterty Posted January 21, 2019 #435 Share Posted January 21, 2019 This is going on now for 3+ weeks. Is there an alternative to CC boards because I would like to know? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richsea Posted January 21, 2019 #440 Share Posted January 21, 2019 This is reminding me of problems CC had years ago when the boards were run by Infopop. Everyone cslled it Infopoop. They finally switched and all was fine for years. Someone sold them a bill of goods when they convinced management to fix something that wasn’t broken. The new boards lack many features of the old ones. This is becoming a joke; but not funny at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted January 21, 2019 #445 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The other problem I have, and it happens all week, not just on the weekend, is when I try to log in I get this: After 30 seconds or so, the page re-loads, and I am allowed in. Annoying, and time consuming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t want those to go away, but I’m afraid that’s where this is headed. I never would have thought in 2018/2019 a site update would send us back to the dark ages. This new site isn’t much faster or more reliable than the old AOL boards were back in 2000! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t want those to go away, but I’m afraid that’s where this is headed. I agree with you about the great value of these boards. I also share your concern that this most recent set of recurring and very significant problems will drive some people away, especially given the level of frustration with the other glitches, annoyances, and loss of functionalities we’ve experienced since the “upgrade.” I have emailed CC to express that concern and suggested that an announcement letting folks know what is going on and when we can expect a permanent fix would be helpful. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
