I've noticed a couple of issues with the Arena today, first of all I haven't been receiving any email notifications about new topic replies, I haven't seen anyone else mention this so I don't know if it's just an email problem or communication with the Arena (I have been getting other emails though).

Also, when I post it leads to a database error page and it even double-posted once. (But it's not as big of an issue and I know it's being worked on )

I hope everything gets back to normal soon, you guys do a great job with this site

I'm having trouble creating a topic too. It gave me an error then said I had posted it. :/

Everything I've been trying to do today and yesterday hasn't been working right. Posting on a current post, making a new post, and using the search tool. The only thing that has been working seems to be sending PMs but even my inbox says I have 65527 messages. lol

The forum search also isn't working. I tried yesterday and today to do a search and I get a database error

I can't make new posts or reply to threads either

From Loa via Facebook:

Hello, To all our members,
As you've all seen recently, the Arena is falling apart at the seams, and despite all the band-aids, mod calendars and fakies we've thrown at it, this Arena is slowly crumbling.

But good news!
Realizing this, we contacted a strapping young man, and we have a new Arena waiting in the wings.
... Its bigger, better, sooooo 2012, and is fast! It has all the latest mod cons, and everything you posted here will be available there!

We realize that a new Arena will have teething problems, and wont be to everyone's liking, but I can assure you its so far amazing!

As such, sometime this weekend *fingers crossed* we shall be moving over to the new site.
When you get there your post counts will be intact, your feedbacks moved, and hopefully everything else.
We don't know how long this will take, but we predict at this stage that the Arena will be inaccessible for at least 12 hours.

The Mod and Admin team will absolutely attempt to give you as much warning as possible, so this is your first heads up!

Thank you for your patience and love, and we will be better than ever very soon!

Thanks for the update, mlp4me!

Oooo, I hope the new arena is gonna be compatable with smart phones

Sorry to be a pill but will the new arena have the newbie feedbacks that we have been waiting for or will it only have existing and the ones in the thread on trader support?

Thanks for the post mlp4me....oh my goodness 12 hours without the Arena!!!

I am sure it will be fab with everyone working so hard on it...*pats self on back and reassures..change is good...change is good"

Cant wait...much excitement!

Thanks mlp4me, that sounds great

I can manage 12 hours without the Arena...I think... Can you do it when it's night-time here? lol

I can't make new topics. It's really really frustrating.

Actually you can c: after submitting a new topic go to 'my account' (on the upper right corner under the arena banner) and check there, you should see it there ^^

On another note, I wonder if the new Arena will be using the same url?

ooh. :3 I am excited.
<3 I hope the transition will go smoothly.
