For the love of port website
The FTLOP site has been down all day - did I miss an announcement saying it was undergoing some maintenance this weekend?
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Re: For the love of port website
I am not sure that we are allowed to name it. Or like 'the mickel Diel' himself he will appear. 'The other place' would be an alternative. Perhaps Derek being so argumentative has caused it to collapse into a pool of tears.
Or do I mean 'muckle Diel'?
No idea.

Re: For the love of port website
Yes a large maintenance is going on. Should be back up and running soon.

Not sure who that guy is. He seems to enjoy arguing with sensitive types from the former colonies.LGTrotter wrote:Perhaps Derek being so argumentative has caused it to collapse into a pool of tears.

Re: For the love of port website
You mean I couldn't mention on ? If true it suggests a neediness which I have suspected for some time. But I forget my manners, I know that there are many here use as do I. Although I am not a registered user as I was irked by having to join just to look at the tasting note database. And I am sticking to my principles, such as they are.jdaw1 wrote:Correct rule, wrong direction.LGTrotter wrote:I am not sure that we are allowed to name it.

There is/was an announcement on the main page. There is a note on the forum as well stating it is down.

Should be back up and running, sans the cute girl on the home page
There will be more work being done to it over the next week or two. So it may go down periodically during that time.

I saw that last night and thought it was pretty funny. Though my first reaction was that FTLOP had been hacked, and then my second reaction was "why on earth would anyone bother to hack ftlop.com???"Andy Velebil wrote:Should be back up and running, sans the cute girl on the home page

Re: For the love of port website
Trust me, like any website, we've been hacked in the past. Just not this time. There was an issue with our provider. It should be mostly resolved. Some people may need to refresh their browser to clear it and see the site again. And it appears to be working slower from some. By that I mean at least one person I know is still seeing the dating website, I am no longer and all is working fine for me now. I assure everyone it's being worked on as we speak.Glenn E. wrote:I saw that last night and thought it was pretty funny.

I just looked and it's back to normal for me. Over the weekend I could see the changes for a while, but those are now gone.Andy Velebil wrote:Trust me, like any website, we've been hacked in the past. Just not this time.

I had difficulty posting over the weekend. A couple of posts have disappeared, but they weren't important so it isn't a big deal.

I'm still seeing the dating site even if I re-load the browser. These things can take 24 hours to propagate around the world's DNS servers.

Re: For the love of port website
Sorry the site was down. We tried to launch our new website and had some technical glitch prevent that from happening. Will be towards the end of next week. Some cool new features including a collaboration with one of the key Port enthusiasts on this Forum.
For those with the nice comments above, if you saw my recent newsletter, TPF was mentioned prominently in there and it was written long before this thread. Six-seven years later, it is time to "let go".

Re: For the love of port website
An update has been posted on FTLOP to confirm that the site will go down tonight, presumably EST "tonight" and will be up and down periodically throughout this week and over the weekend.

I admit to not loving the first draft, but that is the nature of a first draft. Suggested improvements welcomed from anybody but the final decision is Roy’s and his alone.
(The draft is in .GIF format, for use as an image on a page. To use it as a favicon it will have to be converted to .ICO, which can be done once the design has been approved.)

Please use the former for on-page graphics, in particular, as a emoticon. Please could the emoticon not have the BBcode as changing the meaning of that BBcode would edit the posts of people who have used it. Perhaps would be acceptable. Though the old graphic could cease to appear on the list of emoticons.
