Welcome back Naim!

Seconded

Joking apart; it says something about us that we (me included) depend on this strange form of communication and interaction; and get a bit twitchy when it's not available.

Welcome back indeed. I can get a refund on the cocaine, now!

How long was it actually off line. It seems like weeks.

Yours in Music

Syd

Update. There appears to be nearly a weeks worth of Posts missing. What a bugger.

I just noticed the missing week or so myself. What happened, anyone out there know?

Dan,

From a post at Pink Fish Media forum by (our) J.N.

"This from Richard Dane at 10am today (Friday):-

Hi John,

The server we were on died and the guys at Infopop are trying to reinstate a backup of the forum from Wednesday. They supposedly have two technicians working on it but I wouldn't expect any more progress until later due to the time difference. Sorry for the inconvenience, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Regards,
Richard
Naim "

Sixthed.

It's like Déjà vu all over again. I read the threads and I know the answers already.

Welcome back.

Mitch

Fortunately, I cached the last two weeks' posts. Here's a quick top ten:

10. If you're thinking of upgrading a 72/140 system, you can't settle for less than a 252/500.

9. Paypal sucks!

8. Olive is better than New. Is not. Is. Is not ...

7. Neat speakers kill Naim! Do not! Do too! Do not ...

6. How do I connect two hicaps to an 82? Do they need to be of the same vintage?

5. Looking for a recap? You'll have to wait a bit longer.

4. There's something to this crazy mains' spur thing.

3. The DVD5 is still being tweaked but can be seen at various hi-fi shows (in England).

2. Hutter, Mana, Isoblue, Fraim, Fraimkea? Is any of it worth the money really?!

1. Cool, home-made speakers!

Skraft,
That's great. Gave me quite a laugh. You pegged it.

And thanks to Tony at PFM for putting up with the sudden influx of Naim forum members.

"So long and thanks for all the fish" isn't quite the right sentiment, but you know what I mean.

I could at last do things I would have never got over with!

Sorry folks, Infopop had real problems with the restore and had to go back to Monday for a clean, stable back up.

Paul,
for whatever the reason the forum fell
it'a great to have you back, all these poor sod's really had nothing to do with their liveswhilst the forum was down.Rumour has it that the GNP has risen considerbly over the last few days ,and now my pension is no longer in danger, thanks lads!!!!

A now better off:- oldie.

As an Infopop customer, Naim Audio is rather caught between two stools here -- my sympathies! The backup used for restore, although functional to a degree appears to be neither clean nor stable. "Search" is still up the creek. It will "find" messages posted after the outage, but cannot locate them. It looks as if the index in use is more recent than the data, or in other words, out of sync.

This seems to have been a widely-spread Infopop problem (see here and here). It isn't just Naim, and there appears to have been some warning of possible problems.

So let me get this straight:

-- Well connected businessman and Mason Mick Parry inadvertently reveals details of a bizarre sexual liason/porno shoot with Marco and/or Steven Toy.

-- Shortly after the Naim forum goes down.

-- When it comes back all information since March 3rd, including the Marcogate posts, have been "lost"

It stinks I tell you stinks.

Matthew

Welcome back my friends
To the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend
Step inside, step inside

We've got tips and strops
Super olive sounds the tops
Leave your M*n* at the box
Come inside come inside


Etc


Regards

Any more out of you and you will be lost.

I know what caused the forum breakdown! It was obviously the "export sales manager wanted" sticky. It's missing now, and the forum works!

Has anyone else noticed that there are no more "topics" in the "new since your last visit" list, i.e. if someone's started a topic, the list no longer shows the initial post as "Topic: The Truth about Marco and Mick", but as "Reply: The Truth about Marco and Mick in The Truth about Marco and Mick"?

Thomas

It was Jeremy's infuriating puzzle that crashed Infopop.

Mike

As a relative newcomer round gere I was shocked by how much work I got done while the forum was down. Anyone else find an upsurge in productivity?

Kevin

I think we should all make a donation to Infopop to buy some computer books. I would buy them:-

1) How to write a search tool for dummies

2) Backup procedures for dummies

Richard

"Search" is back with a vengeance. Now works magnificently, results all the way back to July 00. That's better.

Mark

Mark, stop reading the Naim forums and get on with organising my PowerBook refund!!!
