hello

Any one working on both IMCDB and IMPDB sites have seen that IMPDB is out of service since more than 24h00...with following message:
"The website you were trying to reach is temporarily unavailable".
Have you got any info on this problem?

Thanks

I have no info, but I sent a message to the webmaster, in case he didn't know.

It just went down today and we're working on it now. They don't like how many files we have on the site and are saying it's going to cost double for the next step up in server storage.

The aim of IMPDb is to grow with more film pages, more aircraft pictures.... the method used is not friendly at all!!

Let's wait.

Thanks for the info BTW...

A few yars ago on IMCDb we had problems with the database size (which could also only grow), hence why I ended switching to a dedicated server.

Thanks antp, maybe your experience could help ??
Any news Tleeg?

My experience was switching to a different hosting, but I do not know what is the one currently used by IMPDb (in term of price and features).

Maybe not the good time nor the good place for this question, but is there a way to send pictures to IMPDb without creating an account in it?
I sent a mail about it some days ago (to support@impdb) but I don't know if someone read it.

why not creating an account? it might be easier ...
I suppose Tleeg or bthebeest should receive support@impdb.org...

By the way, the site is functionning correctly now.

If you have screenshots but don't want to build the page, you could drop them in our forum. But then you have to create a username there. I would encourage you to just setup the same username over there that you use here. It's real easy.

The email currently doesn't get checked on a daily basis unfortunately. We are working to improve that.

Jean-Marc, when you say, "the method used is not friendly", what are you referring to?

We have freed up a significant amount of space on our server and will be upgrading before this issue ever comes up again.

Because I'm not interested in planes, and I won't try to identify them. So why create a useless account?
But it's not a problem for me to help the planes fans to do their "job" and extract shots of planes while doing it for cars in TV-series or movies. And I think putting this planes pictures in IMCDb pages so you can pick them up, as often made, is not a good way to transmit them.

It may seem paradoxical, but a forum account doesn't sound useless, for me. So I'll do it this way. I just didn't notice there was a forum for IMPDb
