I saw a Dynasty like Herman's run off an overpass due to a tire failure and roll down the embankment onto the highway below and the only obvious damage (besides massive scratches and broken windows) was the roof units got cleaned off and crushed and were scattered onto the highway. Back in the early 90s, we’re on our way back to US from LaPaz, MX after running the Baja 1000, came over a small hill and found a class A sitting on the side of the road. The entire body was in a pile of broken wood etc along the road and just the chassis and two front seats were left. A couple of passerby were putting one of the occupants in the back of an open Jeep. We were in the middle of nowhere . On the same trip home we were stopped by the Mexican Army and all our cars and persons were searched. Kinda scary knowing you have absolutely no rights and these guys had loaded military automatic rifles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayne77590 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Ernie, go to Settings, General, about, software update and make sure you are up-to-date. If up-to-date, hold the off button and volume down button at the same time until the "Power Down/Off" display appears. Slide to power off. Give it about 10 seconds then hold the power button on until the Apple logo appears. See if that helps. As suggested, check the settings for blocks and other items.

rayin Report post Posted September 29, 2020 Only time I had a problem was during the shakeup. Everything is operating fine since then. I use a W10 computer running FireFox or Edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted September 30, 2020 I also received the email of FMCA changing servers. I am aghast that they indicate it could be down until October 15th. So many of us will be in withdrawal and have pains. Never in my 30 years of computer stuff have I ever heard of a service being down for a server change. Everyone that I have been involved with has been fluid with no, or little, interruption. The new server is checked out by "beta" users and technicians to see if everything works and then the switch is flipped. Yes, there may be a few glitches at first but the down time is usually less than day and most time just minutes. Weird! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossboyer Report post Posted September 30, 2020 This is not just a server change. There will be a complete new software system to run the operations of FMCA. While some companies may have the luxury to run parallel systems to debug, test and bring on line, FMCA does not have the resources to do that. Hopefully, we the members don’t bother the Staff excessively while they work on our behalf. There are only 3 IT Staff if I remember correctly to do this change. Praise them. Let’s not jump to criticize. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhartjim Report post Posted September 30, 2020 I agree, Wayne. Corporate America upgrades, revises and changes software systems regularly and most users never realize it. Usually this takes place over a weekend. Ross, if they have 3 IT staffers and they can't complete a change over in a few days, they need a different 3. Having beta users test the new system would cost nothing so that shoots the financial reason out the window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richard5933 Report post Posted September 30, 2020 My reading of this was they are upgrading the software used in the office, not the forum. Is the forum also going down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayin Report post Posted October 4, 2020 Wayne sent me the link to sign-in, I couldn't get past the change password page. This time I clicked the return to sign-in page line. There was a red sign-in button at top right, which I clicked. WaLA, here i am. I'm not sure I really know how I got here. I'm not gonna sign-out for a few days as a result. I fully expect all that to change in the next 11 days though, as HQ finishes their work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
