FT Trying to Download File
 

So, what happenned on FT?

Earlier tonite it tried to download a file: usercp.php to my computer. When I hit "Cancel", and tried to load FT again, it tried to download again.

So, what happenned?

Me too.

It's fixed now, but there are only 3 threads on the "New Posts" page. Weird.

Happened to me too. FT down for over an hour.

hopefully Internet Brands will be here to explain. From what we understand, they had an error when trying to upload a new version of the PHP program which is in the background on some things. That caused this problem but it wasn't a hack or anything, just a very inconvenient attempt to make me re-type a post I was wavering on.....

Both Firefox and IE. Both clicking my bookmark or typing in www.flyertalk.com. Also happens when I google flyertalk and click on the search result. Finally got in by clicking one of the sub-links in google that goes directly to a specific forum.

In firefox, clicking my bookmark which goes to: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/
I get a dialogue box:

I'm also having that issue now. Wap works just fine but FF or IE try to download the webpages

If you are still experiencing this problem you have the page cached, to fix this you might be able to quit your browser and restart it, but to be sure clear your cache and the problem should be gone for certain then.

It seemed like any time I tried clicking on a thread or MyFlyerTalk, my browser was asking what program I wanted to downloads it with (IE, FF, Opera, etc).

I’m using Win XP Pro, Opera 9.62, good EV-DO signal.

Yeah, I have been problems from FTs is always down again. Is something doesn't sense right. I seen it was cause lot of problems. So I am trying to get back onto the forums. I am keeping refreshed the message boards for several times.

it was back up briefly, now I'm getting 404 pages. the wap site is fine. mobile.flyertalk.com, but you need a supported device.

Just got an update from the tech team at IB. The turbulence you just experienced was due to a hiccup in the system while they were upgrading a piece of the core software on the server. They are confident they have fixed the problem and dealt with any related issues, and it should be smooth sailing from here.

Sorry for the bumpy ride folks.

So they upgraded Flyertalk to make our user experience more turbulent, more like flying in an RJ?

Looks like the upgraded the web server and php wasn't setup as a valid handler for the service.....so we got offered downloads!
They still don't have it right for instance using
is a 404 error.

It's still happening. I can only access a few random forums and threads.

Wouldn't it be better to upgrade important stuff at off hours? Seems rather foolhardy to do it in the middle of heavy usage.
