EeeUser down? UPDATE 14 NOV

Since the Eee first came out back in 2007, EeeUser have been the place to go to for information, help and plain chat with other Eee owners.

Now.. it seems to be down. I have not been able to access it for two days now. If it's gone for good it'll be the end of an era.

UPDATE:
It's up again - Ant was updating the back end to speed things up. So the place of all things Eee is still online!

UPDATE 2:
And down again... should have reported on it before, but new job keeps me busy. Is interesting though :)
Good to see all the guys commenting too; nice that I'm not the only one missing EeeUser.

UPDATE 3:
"Switching to new forum software, new infrastructure, etc." - well, at least something is happening today. Also I realised that comments on "old" blogposts here has to be approved - for those who havn't seen their comments pop up until today, my bad.

Hi! oupsemma here.
Eeeuser still down, so here am I, looking for an answer to a problem on my 901: the F2 key doesn't work anymore, so no Fn+F2 available for switching the wireless on/off and more annoyingly no access to the Bios with F2. Been taking the keyboard away and cleaning it. Shall I go for a new keyboard, or has anybody an idea to help me? Thanks in advance!

PS: Nice to see all these eeeusers!
PPS: Is it a question of money for the eeeuser server? Is there a place where donations can be made for that?

Hi, BLOO! Was running Mageia (no Jupiter there) and even went to reinstalling Xandros!
But a few more Fn keys are not working either, so after some cleaning, many CM resets and a clearCmos not bringing any improvement, I've ordered a 901 keyboard on Amazon.co.uk.

Forgot all about this place! Hello, everyone! :)
I'm also somewhat miffed at the loss of the forum. I'm pretty sure it will come back eventually and when it does it will probably work a hell of a lot better.
Looking forward to it as much as the new Linux Mint!

Searched ''Is eeeuser down'' and a familiar name popped up in the results list :D

GTISINGH here ... real shame its down ! Just picked up a 1000H-Go and REALLY needed some questions answered :s

Anyone have a back up of the forum they can host ??

plodr checking in again. We were without power and heat for more than 8 days so the only computer time I got was when we ventured out to a hotspot. (Ah warmth and lights!) So I missed the brief up time at the eeepc users forum.
Eventually I had to farm out my netbooks to a friend to recharge the batteries too.

Now that I know it had been up, I'll go back to checking as long as we have power. (Another scare because we lost power again yesterday but only for 1/2 hour).

I bet Zeo is going crazy...

Still down today.

Hey guys, zeo here...

@oupsemma - Have you tried a keyboard reset?

Can you try using a USB keyboard?

Is the F2 key the only one not working?

@zeo: Ended buying a replacement keyboard and it's working like a charm now. Only drawback is that it's an English-GB one, not a French one, so some learning is required for accents and punctuation.

@gtisingh: Got a 1000H, with XP, Linux, FreeBSD, so if you have any question...

lol @vig1lant3

@ Op ... Basically my wifi cardf was working under Win7 perfectly, when i installed XP, it stopped working, drivers would install, but got the message

''device is ejected or removed, drivers will complte installation when this is done''

Tried re seating the card, same message.

ended up taking the card out of the 700 2G surf, works a charm, but its only b/g, where as the 1000HGo's is B/G/N.
