Is gallery page down?

Perhaps this is just the servers doing their weekly auto maintenance?

You, my friend, are an optimistic person...hope you are right.

Yes, always the optimist. I would hate to lose control over everything that I have uploaded on this site.

I noticed a couple of 404's but I also had a problem opening a YouTube page around the same time. Shit happens it's not always the fault of PN;)

It appears PN has a problem with bodily functions.

I too began to get the 404 error message yesterday Sept 3, 2021. Firefox said it was last updated August 24, 2021 to version 91.0.2. I get the error message when clicking on the title of my images and those of others and if I click on the “view button”. I am able to bring up the image (and not the 404 error) when I click on the image itself. Many photographers who I am not “following” are showing up on my favorite photographers screen/list. Hope this added info helps with solving this problem.

My portfolio page is back now.

 

As long as the NO WORDS forum is up, I'll linger here.

I still get the error message for your portfolio page as well as everyone else's participating in this thread, including me.

I can only open my own portfolio. I have a vague recollection of another time that we had major problems over a long Holiday Week End. Have no idea if / when we can expect a fix, but best guess would be Tuesday. Just hunker down and take advantage of anything you have found that will work for you.

Maybe it's time to do a bunch of selfies! :)

Nah, the camera never lies - I prefer what I see in the shaving mirror. I can select the parts I like and ignore the rest.

the camera never lies

LOL. Of course, ironically, the flip side of that is true as well. The camera always lies.

I wonder if anyone on PN monitors this? First we no longer get notices via email when a comment is left, now this - I've been with PN for ages and stay with it for the friends we've made, a group that is dwindling. Now, no way to leave a comment since get the 404 thing when trying to open view. One can hope this will be fixed- hard when there is no one to communicate with in admin.

I wonder if anyone on PN monitors this?

Some of the moderators do, but they're powerless to do anything about it or even be in contact with someone who could. My guess is no one else monitors this.

I believe Photo.net is hosted on servers in the North-eastern part of the U.S. It is possible that the the data center has been adversely affected by Hurricane Ida.

LOL. PN was adversely affected long before Hurricane Ida was a gleam in climate change’s eye. Ida’s responsible for enough devastation. I mean, she even took on the NYC subways! Don’t lay PN’s long-term, consistent and recurring troubles at her feet as well. :)

I have problems...all links from social to the original are 410 or 404. - It's also impossible inside Pn open the photo clikking on th title, i mean in larger format.-

There are currently problems unlikely to be fixed on a Holiday week end. Sorry for the inconvenience, I'd suggest waiting to see what Tuesday brings. Unfortunately I have no method available to alter the situation.

Ok. Thankyou for your time...i hope all will be resolved asap.-

Interestingly, at least to me, I have always been able to google search my last name and the first hit returned was my account here at PhotoNet. Not any more. In fact, this site does not even show in that search. I think this is called "death by a thousand cuts". Regards.

We are like the Cargo Cult, convinced something wonderful is about to happen when there is zero chance of it happening.

We? I’ve known nothing wonderful was about to happen here for years. Nothing wonderful regarding the ownership and administration of the site, that is. Anything wonderful comes from fellow members and that still happens.

From one week , perphaps less days, the situation is the same. 404 and 410...problems growing...

Sandy- as a "staff member" what are your responsibilities? Are you able to contact whoever is in charge of keeping the site running? Have you heard anything about the 404 problem? Who is responsible for this anyway??

Thanks

Staff Members are unpaid Volunteers, as are Moderators, holdovers from previous ownership. I have not had a point of contact with present owners since the close of '20 when the Tech I was able to reach either left or was dismissed. If I was able to do something, I certainly wouldn't be sitting on my hands.

In 1993, Greenspun founded photo.net, an online community for people helping each other to improve their photographic skills. He seeded the community with "Travels with Samantha",[3] a photo-illustrated account of a trip from Boston to Alaska and back. Photo.net became a business in 2000 with the help of some of his cofounders Rajeev Surati and Waikit Lau. Having grown to 600,000 registered users, it was acquired by NameMedia in 2007 for $6 million, according to documents filed in connection with a planned public offering of NameMedia shares
