StuartMoxham Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 <p>I've been wondering the same thing. Hope they are back up soon.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keirst Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 <p>I’m missing RFF too. I hope they can get what they need to fix the site this coming week.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensacolaphoto Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 <p>I agree that RFF access is missed greatly. You realize the value of what you had when it is gone.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmichaels Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 <p>Since there are so many of us here, I will have to speak up as well.<br> Paul A: if your ad was for a ZM 35mm f2.0 Biogon, get with me directly. I am looking to replace mine that was stolen.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob F. Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 <p>Regarding the switch to a different server: this brings to mind the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob F. Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 <p>It's actually worse now. At first, the server was responding, even if only with a blank page. Now all I get is an error message "Safari can't connect to the server." The "back door" approach isn't working any more, either.</p> <p>Must be a malfunction. They wouldn't just pull the plug without saying anything.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vics Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 <p>I've looked around Camera Quest and can't find a way to email Stephen. You'd think he'd put something up there!<br> VicS</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmichaels Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Vic: from the CameraQuest website: email Rangefinders@earthlink.net or call 818-879-1968 I suspect the last thing Stephen needs right now is a stream of e-mails telling him the site is down or asking when he is going to have it back up.

vics Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 <p>I'm sure you're right. I'm just wondering why he didn't put up a notice that "RFf is down, and we're working on it..."</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvin_vickery Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 <p>S.D....you joined just to post that??? Wish this site had an ignore button.<br> I hope they are up soon, I'm having a bit of an issue with a purchase from there and it would be nice to refer to the original listing.

tom5 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 <p>It would be helpful to know if RFF is down permanently or suffering temporary server or provider problems. I'm surprised that the site has been down for 5 days and no word or even a temporary main page is to be found. A temporary page could be up in less than an hour; the lack of any word is not encouraging.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 <p>I doubt that the site is down permanently. RFF is a good and popular place. I'm sure they are just having more than their share of bad luck with this server (or whatever) switch.</p> <p>I think people misunderstand how difficult it is to do some of this stuff and how much more difficult it is to do when you don't have paid staff to deal with it. I realize that some users get frustrated with the commerce and advertising on Photo.net, but the ability to fix problems is one of the things that ads and subscriptions pay for.</p> <p>Plus, I get to eat.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_scheitrowsky1 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 RFF is not down permanently. Just some (not insignificant) technical difficulties. Any day now is my guess and hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmichaels Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 <p>I trust FrankS with his analysis and comments. Not only has Frank been objective and honest in his comments on RFF over the years, I think he may have some inside information that the rest of us are not privy to.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_bielecki1 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 <p>This is a direct quote from the Rangefinder Forum on Flickr. Somebody contacted Stephen Gandy. His reply:</p> <p>"RFF is having server problems, along with very poor tech hosting<br />support over the long Thanksgiving weekend. Techs are working on it. I hope RFF will be back up later today." </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelie52 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 <p>Is there somewhere where RFF refugees can register ... I seem to be a little stateless! LOL</p> <p>I'm sure that RFF, like the phoenix, will rise from the ashes! :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
