Quote from andRo. :

Your entry is not valid, it's not allowed to use external images as it says in THIS rounds rules.

The rules below round rules are in general, what most of the rounds will have. But round rules are more important and you should always read round rules to see if anything has changed.

I don't think there was a need to delete the external image rule from the "general" rules, since I thought everyone would get that.

e to be lear enough

Hi,

no problem with rules... they are there to follow... but then they have to be clear enough.. by the way .. my English is not that good so.. What are "round" rules??? Are those common rules ??

and if external images are not allowed then what about these example in previous edition ??

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=76698&page=2 by Kristy

So I can only ask to be VERY clear in the rules and don't think people will understand it because you "think" so.. As jrd.racer also thought ... "Wait what?? The rules are contradicting itself.

As league owner of the www.liveforspeed.be league, I have nothing against rules.. but I can assure you it is VERY frustrating to put in all the work when following the rules put here and then have to hear the hours of work were all for nothing..

So I would like it if you at least leave my effort here to watch for other that do appreciate my effort even If I can't compete this time.. ( no, I will not retry another time consuming other effort as this one cost me almost 3 hours work (from 00:00 to 03:00 am this night))

cya around when I get my frustration out of the way...

Quote:

Quote:
You may incorporate external non-LFS images into your work, but you MUST give a link to any images used
??

So I've based me on the second rule.. And watching previous editions .. external images were also used before.. So I see no problem here..
An previous example of external image use is in previous RB4 contest page 2 with the nice addition of Kristi..

H Dean,

I've post a ticket about this, but like I'm used to it.. no reaction..

So I con only guess your ticket system is also still down????

I hope you see my cry for help here ..

server : liveforspeed.be..

Good luck !

Ok race is over.. And the server stayed online during the whole race !!!!!

So permission to setup the insim programs to .

Quote from franky500 :

for those who had the object reference error for your LFS SERVERS try now.

I am at work again and cant go through all the insims right now, so insims will still have the error. but servers should now work (just checked urs G7usl and seems to be working).

I will fix the insims when i get home between 8-9 PM

THX THX THX THX !!! You got it up and running befor our race..

Of course we had a plan B to host it our self.. But as we are an international league we do have racers from all over the world.. And then it is better to have a stable and strong connection and to the one from a home ISP.

Dean ,

please don't change anything for tonight on our server that wold make it go offline again during a race !!
We can miss the insim programs for one night !! THx

Quote from dadge :

he's already going as fast as he can. you've even said yourself that he is one person. he's already done 2 twenty hour days. he's probably doing work in the background to get the servers up and running with minimal delay.
for one person doing this on his own, i think he's doing a great job. do you have a plan B? maybe secure a temp server for this race only?

Of course I can host it myself , but that is not why I payed services for is it??

You can have respect because he does all that work by himself.
But I think after all those down and unstable moments most of his clients are mad because he tries to do this all by himself

Quote from DCke :

hehe i agree with u , but isnt it time for 500servers to manage things with more then 1 man , so customers are helped faster in the next future ?

My point exactly, He need man power and fast !!! just to help him in those down moments... The down periode is almost 1 week now.

Common man, race about to start in 4 hours !!! WE need our PAYED for service online NOW NOW NOW !!!!!

Indeed we don't have a message on those free months .... What we do need are those service online !

Quote from franky500 :

thanks for the reports, Insim's i am aware of. Just servers i need a priority list for.

Cheers guys, Keep them coming.

Common m8.. I really need them online !!! Official race today !!

And a lot of members need practice !!!!

Quote from franky500 :

I will do so Dave,

Just so i know i have an up-to date list of priorities to check when i get home. can anybody whose SERVER is not either allowing CP / FTP controls to work or is simply not showing, please reply here and i'll make sure they are priorities to fix when i get in.

Thanks

Hi ,

still don't have our server back online !! Race tomorrow.. please help !!

same here :...
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hope to see them online very soon

Step by step everything is coming alive...
I have CP back online but I can't start any server ...
getting this error :

Cannot open TC63011164410455701577618 service on computer '.'.

Good luck on bringing it all back online !!!

Quote from franky500 :

Actual servers will be coming online throughout the day / night today.

I hope this is not an april's fool.

We have an official race this weekend and we were not able to have the usual practice sessions ...

ty Dean,

at last .. all services up and running.

We hope to have a stable race tonight

Quote from dekojester :

Read the previous posts on this page, they explain quite well what went on to cause the most recent TCAdmin outage - not really 500servers fault that UPS's sometimes die now, is it ?

Ok maybe this time it is not the fault of 500servers.. But you can't deny we have had a lot, I repeat, a lot of problems in the last year.

CP has been more off, then on, last year in my case!!

THE biggest problem I have is : NO COMMUNICATION or at least not enough.

It is not up to us as customers to search on forums and website to find out what there is going on !!! The customer is king and it's about time we are treated that way.

You could say: the time that he is busy answering tickets and writing customer mails, he is not busy fixing the problem... Correct .. But as I read on this forum, he did had the time to send pm to others.

The feeling I have is that he wants to do it all by him self.. he URGENTLY needs to pay someone to do his administrative job so he can occupy the technical issues. Does not have to be a full time job. But in days like this, this would mean a hell of a difference instead of playing dead people.

My oldest OPEN and HIGH ticket is from 13 February.. 2 followed.. NONE of them was answered. So I can't be blamed I'm not patiently...

CP is now offline for several days AGAIN !!!
I can not control LFS LAPPER
and During the race (oval track ) EVERY racer reports a good split AND a good lap!!
In a race where the rule says that chat is NOT allowed. !!

I think and hope they are trying to fix this .. but this is taking to much time !!
We expect a lot more service from a service that is no longer the cheapest out there for less to offer and WAY to much problems and off-time !

They will have to come up with very fast results and a good offer to keep me on the on 500 server.

Also the channel to report something is not working. Ticket service gives errors to ..

SOLVE IT NOW PLEASE AND AT LEAST GIVE US INPUT.. We only get mails on moving this , moving that .... maybe next time give us a backup plan?

It should be no problem to rent an temp server during the move. So we clients at least would not have to deal with all those problems !

I had a lot of patience but sorry guys .. I want to deliver quality at the league but I can't !!! This is hurting the league and the number of members ! Action please !!

Franky,

We have had a terrible evening !!! We could not control our server AGAIN.
Control panel full of errors. Could not turn of Ario or lfs lapper.

We do not allow messages during the races.. now it was full of it !!
caused by not be possible to turn of those services...

NEED help urgently ! So I wont see this anymore !!

An error has occurred. Contact an administrator. If you are an administrator please contact TCADMIN SUPPORT.

Very difficult to contact you if even you get this error when filling in a ticket...

server name liveforspeed.be
