BrianT Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) For the past few days I've been unable to access the forum using the link I've used for ages https://orbxsystems.com/forum. I then found the Orbx discord and followed a link that someone had posted to an issue they were having which brought me here https://forum.orbxdirect.com/. As you can see there is a subtle difference but enough that the original doesn't work. further to that the shortcut at the top of this very page also points to the old address. Clearly the site has moved...did I miss an announcement? is it permanent, temporary? Edited February 7, 2023 by BrianT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hello, it is permanent and I would expect the links to be updated as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt McGee Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Just figured out the change myself! I usually check the forum every morning on my laptop and hadn't been getting through, so I thought there must be a problem or upgrade going on. The forum link at the bottom of the Orbx home page (orbxdirct.com) is still linked to the "old" forum address. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even did a "is the site down" search and got back a message to say it was down for everyone..... Apparently some of us didn't get the memo, does seem odd that they would basically change the url for the forum and not tell anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben McClintock Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hi all, This is an unintended consequence of an old server that we shut down. The forums have been running at forum.orbxdirect.com since August 2021, but it seems that many, including our own website, still use the old orbxsystems.com/forum link. We'll reactivate the orbxsystems.com/forum -> forum.orbxdirect.com redirect ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience here! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Me too. So I finally went to central and clicked forum and got it. Now it's all right again, so no worry. Didn't realize how much I would miss the forum until it was gone, so that's the upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbypickett Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I have to rewrite Orbx forums to go into it. I thought it was just me. I'm also having issues with flight radar24 it seems to come up as a facebook connection that I don't have. Gremlins I guess. cheers Gumby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
