Fotopic (Read 5,870 times)

[mainline]

Anyone else experiencing problems with the search function on the Fotopic site? Not been working for me for around a fortnight now. It allows you to search, but just brings nothing up in return.

Anyone else having any similar problems at all?

I have had the same it seems to work on here when u click on a link in the forum but it don't work for me when u go on there main home page but i have noticed if you have saved a album on your favorites list it allowes you to access it that way.

It's been doing similar for me, it's been allowing me to do a single search that actually brings back any results but any more searches bring back no results at all.
I have emailled fotopic to make them aware.

Yes its not been working for a while on the main site, and for a spell you the "on gallery" search boxes were not functioning correctly. I know these glitches and set back are going to occure, but it has been like this for over a week now, and really does annoy me that I am paying this money to have a site hosted with them, yet they can't maintain it correctly.

The search hasn't worked for me for about 3 or 4 weeks now.

Had the same problem if you type in bus reg on google it comes up with the fotopic website.

And all these weeks later, it is still not working. I've given up on Fotopic now personally, think many people are in the same boat too. Flickr certainly seems to have become more popular/busier over the last couple of months.

That is still the only way of finding anything or going direct to specific sites then browsing once in the site, tried their search options again today and nothing is working at all still.

Apparently the servers that allow the search function to operate are down. Its an ongoing problem that affects the photo search option, and until recently the collection & gallery options were still working but now these are down too.
It happened last year and took over 2 months before it was up and running properly again.

I noticed yesterday that Flikr was also suffering slightly. The site seemed very slow and searches to bring up results and you couldn't mark photo's as Favorites or leave comments, but seems fine now.

It has been happen with Photobucket site as well. Sorry but i am not technical minded but it is something to do with attacks on the servers from overseas, from what i can gather. Seem to be affecting a lot of different web-servers in the last few months.

Has anyone tryed to get on Fotopic sites today, none seem to be working and on Facebook, someone say that Fotopic has finished for good, with the loss of everything on it.
May be a warning to anyone who has not got a back up of photos on these type of site like Photobucket, Flickr etc.

A lot of hard work went into building up my fotopic galleries and now its all gone However I'm glad I didn't rewnew my subscription

[barrycygnetbus]

A friend has just e-mailed me, to say fotopic , stopped working yesterday morning and despite sending e-mails off, no one is answering. Does not look good at all.

I'd treat these emails and and stuff as rumors at the moment, as last time it went down we had people reporting it had shut down completely. Officially all that is known yet is it is offline, unless someone can provide an extract from fotopic stating it has closed.

I know for certain I won't be re-newing my subscription with fotopic when, or if, it goes back online!

Thanks.
