Kuddos go to galador for the work. Rich and I were the cheering section and I did the PR.

I apologize that the site isn't running as fast as before, but that's something that probably won't change. We'll just have to get used to it and be glad SnitchSeeker is still alive!

Well you both did an excellent job cheering! I'll have to go let him know he has my thanks as well.

In the meantime, is there anything us members can do to try to HELP maintain an optimized speed and such? I almost feel guilty about like...refreshing and going crazy with having multiple tabs open and stuff for possibly sucking up server....stuff (can you tell I have no idea how any of this works or what it means? )

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

I'd rather have a slow SS than no SS! thanks for the quick and great work~!

SS has been the one constant thing that I know I can always turn to when my life gets crazy so you can imagine how much I was freakin' out when I realized it wasn't working. Thank you all for trying so hard to get it working again! Time and time again, you guys never cease to amaze us!

^^ I feel the same way! I had like 14 Zonko's windows open and felt super guilty when I read this thread. Let us know if there is anything we can do (or better yet, not do) to help!

Thanks again to all of you!

Ok, I had the same problem. Clear all your cache and it should be fine

As soon as I did that it loaded no problem!

Hey guys, apologies about the slowness in loading some threads. There's a temporary solution that YOU can do if you want to have a faster load (at the expense of flashy colours), whilst the technical staff continue working on the maintenance,

1. Scroll down to the bottom left, to the box that refers to the site style
2. Select SS lite - this is a basic layout which should load quicker, although it won't bypass the dreaded Peeves, I'm afraid.

Again, apologies! We're working on getting this fixed!

^THIS. I've been having the same problem. It'll let me view the other forums, for example the Madame Malkins threads, but when I try to go to the Wizarding World RPG, it tells me that I don't have permission to view the page. And I know it's not because I'm not sorted....... nor have I done anything to get banned........ x2

ETA: Correction: It will let me view the Ministry, but not Diagon Alley. x3

There's some good in this world and it's worth fighting for| LOTR|Whovian|Sherlock Fan

I know that you guys are working really hard to get SS back up and running to the way it was before. Don't worry. We're already used to an occasional PEEVES appearance

I guess for now, I'll continue what I've been done for my OWLs practicals and type it out first and then wait to post them. There was a suggestion to email Jess or Mary with our post but I need to see whether my links work fine and I can't do it if I send it to them. So I'll wait since the deadline is the 22nd.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
