    FOR THE NEW UPDATES CHECK THE LAST COMMENTS IN THIS THREAD!
    FOR THE NEW UPDATES CHECK THE LAST COMMENTS IN THIS THREAD!

    Heya all, just a quick update about the site, because these questions and answers are getting repeated in an infinite loop 😀

    1, Is the site under attack?
    Nope.

    2, DDoS?
    Nope, and you are killing me with this.

    3, What is happening?
    The site needs some maintenance because it's a custom-made WP variant with many custom-made plugins that ate every resource they've just found (just like Windows Vista). It happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    4, When will you finish the repairs?
    We are on it and we are on the right track, but we don't know. Everyone has real-life work, and we are all volunteers here, so our free time is very limited.

    5, The site went offline, it won't load or it's only showing a 404 or other sort of errors!?
    We are working on the site whenever we can, so we can't really announce beforehand when we need to let the hamsters out of the servers.

    6, If the site is offline how can I get more info?
    AnjaBear has a 3D Hobby Discord server (no file sharing!) -> (https://discord.gg/NDtHzbpAqT)

    7, I can't log in?!
    The login works fine, but currently, you can't access some sub-pages with it. The main blog page and the request section's first page won't accept the logged-in state, it will be displayed as a logged out state whatever you do.

    Just log in as usual, then head to the Community tab (https://zonegfx.com/forums/forum/general-chat/) or open a specific item (like https://zonegfx.com/x-fashion-feminine-lace-lingerie-for-genesis-9-2/) or open a specific request (like https://zonegfx.com/requests/nurse-scrubs-for-genesis-8-and-8-1-females-with-dforce/) and you will be fine, and able to use the site's functions there.

    8, Can I add a new request?
    Yes, you can but the access to that form is limited, so in many cases, it just won't load.

    9, The request section's first page is not working/updating/displayed as logged out?!
    The request section's first page is different, currently a testing ground. It's not showing the correct data! But if you open a specific request (like https://zonegfx.com/requests/nurse-scrubs-for-genesis-8-and-8-1-females-with-dforce/) you will be fine, and able to use the site's functions there.

    If you want to see the newest requests just sort the requests in "reverse". Order it by Creation and Descending -> (https://zonegfx.com/requests/page/144/?filter_requests=all&orderby=id&order=asc),
    the last request on the last page will be the newest request + you will be logged in and page will be up to date too.

    10, Why don't you close the site until it's fixed?
    Like I said we don't know when we can finish the repairs, we are working in small steps. The site's current speed is already lightning fast compared to the week before, and the "restrictions" are annoying, true, but it's not uNuSaBlE. And some of you guys tend to panic on extreme levels 🙃

    Please be patient, the wind on the Pirate Sea is a bit weaker currently, but it's not dead ⚓🏴‍☠️🦜

    Thanks, it's working. It's just that the front page doesn't show me as having logged in.

    Thanks warrant. I assume part of what still needs to be fixed is the absence of those little icons where you can add/link images and edit text in posts etc. No big deal though and thanks for keeping us updated on what's happening.

    UPDATE #1

    The maintenance is done, and currently, we are lightning fast, yay!

    We are aware of the following (known bugs):
    - Possible problem with the automatic reward transfers after the request reaches the "Filled and Approved" status (don't worry your reward won't turn into dust).
    - Manually sending a multi-user message is not really working.
    - Missing comment formatting tools and image inserter in the forum section.

    If you experience anything noteworthy bug please report it 🙂

    "Missing comment formatting tools and image inserter in the forum section."
    Yep, and previously inserted Youtube links have reverted to text links only.
    I assume this will be fixed at some stage. Thanks for the update.

    Edit - some on Discord are saying the site is still laggy, but it's not for me.

    UPDATE #2

    If you are still experiencing lags or slow loading times:

    - Please reset your cookies for ZGFX (no need to reset your whole browser and no need to remove every cookie for every website) or try to open ZGFX in an incognito/private tab. (If everything is fine in the incognito/private tab, but after a cookie reset you still have problems on the normal tabs, in that case, you didn't remove every cookie for the ZGFX website.)

    - Please try to switch to another VPN server (if you use any).

    If you experience anything noteworthy bug please report it 🙂

    UPDATE #3

    - ✅ Solved/Fixed - Possible problem with the automatic reward transfers after the request reaches the "Filled and Approved" status (don't worry your reward won't turn into dust).
    If you didn't receive the right rewards or still experiencing some sort of problem after a fill, please PM me.

    - ✅ Solved/Fixed - Missing comment formatting tools and image inserter in the forum section.

    If you experience anything noteworthy bug please report it 🙂
