Day 8:  Still no contact.  Perhaps the rumors of invaders from Mars where true.  ???

Very annoying.  Their store is up and running but no information is given about when (if?) the forum will be back.

How many days elapsed from the death of the first forum until the second forum was built on its ashes?

Has anyone here ordered anything from the Spartan games online store?  The store appears to be online, but are they running?  I guess they posted those two blogs about the holiday specials, but has there been any other activity?

I have not ordered anything recently. I wish they had an offer up that would allow me to order the Templates --- but I have both campaign books already and the terrain does not appeal so much.

You don't suppose [?] Spartan got caught in some cyber-crossfire:

I can't remember if the Spartan store used PayPal...

They're back!  :) 8)

Looks like it went back up between 0900 and 0930 GMT today. Not much in the way of explanation or announcement of upgrades. All I find is this thread in the Firestorm section.

[Early New Year's Resolution: spend more forum time here -- not as much there.]

Edit: The final post before it went down was about Danish Minelayers.

When Spartan got their forum back up there were problems in the Gallery section. It looks like they got that working now. However, making a new post to the forum is either not working at all or is crippled.

Since this last episode I really haven't spent much time at all on the Spartan forum, and I haven't tried posting much--I think I've made one post in the past week about the fact that the DL products seem to have bar codes on them (my FLGS always needs to enter product numbers into their computer manually when I purchase Spartan products).  Of course, I'm STILL waiting for my special order for Storm of Steel and my DL starter box to arrive at my store....

Edit:  Just tried to post a reply this evening on the Spartan forum, wrote a bit, but then when I hit "reply" I received a strange window informing me the post was empty!  I even copied and pasted my text into a new reply attempt on a refreshed page, but no success....

This is the kind of thing I was running into. I even tried two different machines (and  different browsers).

Very strange...still, it's good to see the official forums are back up. As much as I like having a bit more traffic around here, I think it is inescapable (at the moment anyway! ;) ) that the official forums are vital resources for players.

Ah, I think it's because you've actually been playing games lately!  I haven't played in several weeks (busy with work), so of course it's not working for me!

On the Spartan Forum - ever since the day they restored the gallery to functional order the post editor does not work in the Chrome browser.  :-X  I see all the buttons and drop downs but they are greyed out and unresponsive.

  • With Firefox it works.
  • With windows Internet Explorer it works.
  • It used to work with all three.

Bummer...browser compatibility seems to be a major issue nowadays. The only way I got around it was to use a very simple site design.

Ship's Log: Mar 21

 :( The Spartan Forum is drydocked again. Not to worry the sign says...

...Reaper Minis uses the same style forum software but seems to have way less hassle. (Maybe Reaper's IT wizard, Kit Pierce, is just that good.)

The inspiration for starting ManBattlestations.com last year was due to an extended absence of the Spartan Games forum.

Well, we're still here, and we can talk about naval models or rules from any company, etc.
