Saintsweb is back!

[bangkoksaint]

Just got to say thanks for everything you do on this forum. Not having it for a couple of days feels like someone has removed part of me! Having said that it was maybe lucky that it was down yesterday!!

[EssEffCee]

I use this forum for all my Saints news. Anyone know how we got on yesterday?

[64saint]

Was it coincidence that the site crashed at the same time as our worst performance since .......🤔

Joking aside, thanks to owners of the forum for their hard work, certainly missed following the comments yesterday

We played good attacking football but sadly it ended in a narrow defeat. 

[iansums]

Good to see the site up again, for a moment I thought Steve had handed the running of it over to Sports Republic.

[Lighthouse]

Hope you're not all Jonesing too badly after all that.

(I had no part in fixing anything BTW).

[Guest]

This is a fantastic forum, I love reading through the match threads and engaging with other fans. 👍🏻👏🏻

[Saint NL]

I had to read Reddit, let's not do that again, eh?

And how is Jennifer Lawrence's muff looking these days?

[Chris cooper]

What was the problem with the site ? Virus of some sort or something more sinister?

I expect my £0.14 refund for the days loss of usage to be paid back onto the card the £5 was taken from for my annual subscription.

Got a link? I didn't find anything remotely interesting. Even the football chat has a very American twang to it.

Was worried that it had caught the Ross Stewart virus, you know the one, two weeks out of action !!!!!!

Two seasons !!!

It just goes to show how much `i miss this Forum! Tried the UI but there's no competition. Thanks for everyone involved in keeping this sire running! You only really understand how much you miss something when it's gone!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Looking forward to the new forum bounce.

[Badger]

Did wonder if it was purely coincidence that the site was out of order yesterday or not. Perhaps a good job it was, as although we all needed somewhere to vent, this place might have been incandescent yesterday afternoon.

I was confronted with this on trying to log in:

Didn’t know if this was displayed for SR, and players, or if the Admins like the team had just said “nah, fuck it… ‘ and given up.

Ditto.

Have to thank those running the site for their work in providing it. Others don’t come close, and this provides a good outlet and source of info, especially for us exiles.

Well done Steve, I thought for a moment that Sports Republic had taken over running it with an inevitable outcome.

[Football Special]

Not good enough, I want my fiver back. Sack the board. 

[coalman]

Thanks to whoever brought the forum back from the dead. Good news.

Bad news we have to talk about yesterday.

[Falkirk Saint]

Great news the forum is back. Badly missed yesterday

 

[revolution saint]

Glad the forum is back, I had no idea what to think.

Main board or the Muppet Show?

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Absolutely echo those above, I needed to come on here and vent about the game, really isn't the same when you have to talk to your wife about the game when you get home.

You never see Jennifer Lawrence's muff and Ben Bereton Diaz in the same room do you... 🤔

[whelk]

I now have loads of new hobbies now since the site went down. Crochet very underrated lads

[SaintTex]

Saintsweb is a lifeline for all things Saints for those of us in the United States. So glad it is back up and running. I felt like i had lost the pulse of club and  supporters while down.

wait.. do we have a pulse?

Those weird Saints-related Facebook groups might be for you then, seen some proper odd stuff going on there whereby the admins set every post on matchday to be fully moderated so they quite often don't become visible to everybody else until days later, so then somebody has posted something in reaction to an incident in a game on the Saturday and it then gets posted around the same sort of time as a game we're playing on the Wednesday  utter lunacy.

Yeah, in all seriousness, when having to get one's fix of matchday reactions from the likes of Facebook and Twitter at the weekend it actually makes you realise that this place is a veritable sanctuary of rational thought by comparison.... (ok, maybe over-egging it slightly there....! )

Good to see it back, thanks Steve. 
 

I had a problem signing back in because it asked for my email address that I used when I registered many years ago rather than my user name. I tried all of my current addresses without success and then remembered that I had to use my works address (I’ve been retired 6 years!) for some reason I couldn’t register with Microsoft type emails at the time.

[Chez]

Glad you managed to sort out all the bugs unlike...  

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

At bloody last! I was almost going into REHAB!

Steady on mate, a sanctuary of rational thought. Actually  after looking at the UI website on Saturday you could be right 🤔🙄

Yep, have had a few of those this evening too

Well done Steve on the fix. I guess we had Y2K a quarter of a century late. 

Also, the nun I would have used for Saturday's game...

I need to do a database server upgrade at some point, I suspect this may be related. Migrating a 14gb database should be a piece of cake...

Chin up. At least being down during the Brentford debacle probably saved you an extra few gb of meltdown to migrate.

[chivvy]

Yes thanks for fixing it.. I had to go to the daily echo site for comments..

 

What the hells going on there...

[ChristopheVAFC]

Glad to see the forum's back and to chat with you, my friends!

Probably cost a few quid in advertising revenue too, in fairness
