Not sure what happened, restart fixed it.
This issue just happened to me and at least one other player before me:
Clicked “post turn summary” in TripleA… after a pretty long wait (longer than normal) it came back with an “unknown error.” I checked the game thread to see if it posted anyway, and it had not. Reposted the turn, and then the posting was accepted. Both postings now show up.

The result is at the very top of page 6 (which is where the link will take you). I didn’t know if anyone was troubleshooting these things, so I thought I’d give you a heads up. The real issue is that if this problem is consistent that we will be doubling the number of posted saves, which doesn’t sound like a good thing…
The search engine is also broken.
You fill in a search at the top of the screen, and suddenly you see text on top of text, as the forum page does not refresh, but the search is displayed overtop of it.
i’m having the same problem, which just started a few days ago.

Actually I had this problem before the change to new servers ….
@P@nther:
What is happening today?
axisandallies.org has been off for hours.
“404 Not Found” has always been coming up when trying to browse the forum.
Still the updates?
:?
It happened again today… 404 for hours…
I hate to say it… but there has been nothing but problems since the switch to the new server… :? and there seems to be no end in sight.
Was there a reason for the switch? can we switch back?
Since we switched to the new forum software, I haven’t been able to post any picture attachments successfully. The system gives me the attachment option, but when I use it the system gets hung up and what gets posted is a faulty file that doesn’t open. I’ve tried using two different browsers (I.E. and Chrome) and it failed to work in both cases. Has anybody else run into this problem?

The switch was due to cost and an old unsupported version of Linux. The new server is running the most current rev of Linux and is half the price.
No, we can’t switch back.

It’s not new software. It’s a new server. Well, I did also upgrade the version of the forums software, which could be causing these issues.
SMF is a terrible platform and I will be making it go away soon enough. I plan on working on this project starting tomorrow.
