Magically, everything seems to be working today, both profiles, no errors. I'm a happy powncer again.

This 500 error is a different issue that's affecting a few accounts. Our developers are currently investigating the cause. – Ariel Waldman, on August 12, 2008 04:58

Exact Same Thing is happening to the profile I have set up for my band, and sadly, we only have like 11 friends (just getting started). So that's not the issue for us.
profile is: http://pownce.com/squeakyrock
can't use the desktop app, safari and firefox on both Windoze and Mac give me the /500 bug error. My bandmates use the profile, they are also locked out. What's weird is that I think I'm actually logged in, I am just unable to see the home page. When I'm using flock, the webpage has the /500 error, but I'm able to post notes using the flock interface. but I can't see the homepage. Basically, i can get in through the back door, but not the front.

The truth is that I don't have a secret answer to give beyond to say that we're working on it. It does take a lot of work to make an application scale well and the team experiences all the same problems with using Pownce that you do, so we're anything but oblivious to the issues. We have two full-time developers whose top priority everyday is site performance.

I'm sorry that I don't have an alternative answer to give - the ones I've given so far are honest.

I created a brand new account, why does my new account outperform my original account? So it seems anyway

...And I was told they communicate enough...

Not trying to create enemies. The service is fantastic when it works, and I know you're working on it. But this is case in point, right here, above.

Pownce still Useless? White Page, Inaccessable, Multiple Attempts to Load Anything...

You know, I really would like to post to Pownce, but I can't... all because of the above, which are problems that have been going on now for the better part of pownces lifespan...

Lets try asking this again, and I expect some details, they won't bore me... after all, pownce remains f*cked now for an unacceptable amount of time, why has it taken months upon months for these issues to be fixed? I mean, seriously... its a shot in the dark when you want to use pownce, half the time you don't hit anything, I don't want to see in a reply to this thread "we're monitoring the issues, working on it, etc"... I want to know exactly when most major issues will be addressed and fixed.

FF3.0.1
Vista
My internet connection is solid and there are no issues with my network, I don't have a crazy amount of fans or friends, so in short... what gives?

Thanks
Steven G

But I'm a fan of say 6 folks with only a few a fan of myself and I too have issues logging into pownce, white pages... notes failing to send, large uploads failing, extremely slow loading all around (more often than not)

And no its not a connection issue... the rest of the internets functions fine, see... I'm here! =]

Considering most if not all the above issues are still present... I've come to one conclusion, I won't be going Pro again when my subscription is up

To clarify, the store is on SpreadShirt's servers, not Pownce's. SpreadShirt is similar to Cafe Press. – Carolyn S., on July 24, 2008 20:51

For all I've been reading above, letting You know that the site has been extremely unreliable for me as well for many days if not weeks now probably won't change a thing. Over at twitter we've seen more than once what API abuse can do.

As I mentioned in another thread, the worst part of all this, though, is that quite often, because of this unreliability, posts are lost when I try to send them. I have already taught myself to copy-paste everything I try to post on Pownce, but still, like all the other users have pointed out quite clearly - this is highly annoying. And sad as there seems to be no fast and clean way to fix this.

No current ETA on when everything will be fixed, unfortunately. A lot of these issues require ongoing work, rather than quick code fixes. – Ariel Waldman, on June 16, 2008 08:55

But the site itself is never usually down, its just not functional... :S We all know that there are problems, any ETA when everything things will be fixed?
