MacAR Posted August 30 Posted August 30 I can't help but wonder if it wouldn't be better on the admins to find a new forum host. Quite obviously Amazon don't give a hoot in 'ell about fixing the issue. Trying a different host might be the ticket, but I don't have any idea which company would be better. 4 Quote

The only concern I have with that is would we lose all the pictures and maybe even content of the past? Would hate to see old binder guys posts go away as well as much technical info that's been shared on here over the years. 4 Quote

Surely they have all that data backed up. We might loose a few weeks or months of recent posts, but at least the archives would be there. 1 Quote

No matter who I try to send to, I get username cannot receive messages Is there a button somewhere that turns messaging on/off? Perhaps something got bumps accidentally? I know you didn't do that on purpose. Otherwise, make sure your inbox isn't full. Quote

CRVB91 Posted September 2 Posted September 2 I'm still able to send/receive messages, but picture problem remains the same (albeit i have learned I can copy/paste an image from elsewhere online). I think a different host is in order, Amazon don't seem to be wanting to fix the problem at any great speed unfortunately 😕 3 Quote
