At nearly 3000 posts <<sorry, I meant 2000 views - typos both>> the answer to Stan's similarly named post is pretty clear - just about all of us have had the dreaded 503 message within the last week and yes, its annoying and no, we don't want Robert to cancel the forum because of it.
I've just been hit with it again after a trouble-free week and, as always, I've been able to overcome the problem by emailing myself with a copy of the failed post and then pasting it to the forum via the tapatalk app on my iPad.
So what? I found a way around the ongoing nuisance but that doesn't make it any less irritating and, from what I can read, not many others have taken up the suggestion either (perhaps it sounds too complicated?) so its clearly not going to solve Robert's problem.
Robert is understandably sensitive to suggestions that he change servers - it costs more. But it does seem like the logical solution given that none of us are experiencing a similar problem on other forums. So how are we going to persuade Robert to change?
My hopefully win/win suggestion is that members to this forum will agree as a condition to using the forum to waive any right to royalties from the EOS Magazine for photos posted.
Robert, I for one hereby waive my rights to royalties from EOS Magazine if you switch servers to one that works, and if you have particular needs for the magazine (as you regularly post on the forum), I suggest to others that we all treat that need as if it was a competition so as to raise the standard to what Robert needs and perhaps agree to keep the entries secret until after the magazine is published?
I don't know if that will work but I'm just trying to think out of the box for a new solution.
