What is YOUR experience with the TS3 Forum?

When I got on the pc today and tried to get on the TS3 forum, of COURSE it didn't work -- I got the wonderful blunderful 404 error.  Whenever that happens I have to clear my cookies for forum.thesims3.com AND thesims3.com in order to access the damn thing.  Not too much of a hassle per se, but annoying as all get out, especially having to do it nearly every day.

I've tried using other browsers, but it's basically same script different cast - I always have to clear caches for the site in order to get on.  I only see Liam once in a blue moon, but it seems that others get the lil' bastard all the time.  And then it seems that some people rarely have issues accessing the forums.  Funny that I neeeever have problems accessing the laughably-priced beautiful Store items.

Obviously in the grand scheme of life these forum glitches aren't the end-all-be-all, and I don't really know jack about maintaining a site as robust as the TS3 site, but really....it's STILL that bad?  After so long, after SO many complaints, after so much frustration from the consumers?

What is YOUR experience with the site?  Do you continue to have errors, double-posts, Liam visits, and the like?  Do you have periods (not counting scheduled maintenance) where you can't get on at all, or have to pull out a bag of special tricks to access forum sections? Or have the issues actually lessened, gotten better, or even gone away completely on your end?  I know this has been discussed ad nauseum but I'm curious to know exactly what experiences other people are having with it now, good or bad.

  1. I don't really have any issues anymore, I get the occasional Liam or 404 error when posting during peak times but nothing as bad as it used to be.

  3. I still have problems with Liam, 404, and "Oops". I don't frequent the forums like I use to anymore because of those issues. When I am able to see it, it only last for a few hours then it's back to blank.

    All I want to do is look for new worlds, check my sims downloads, and to make sure a sim got uploaded correctly...thats all I want EA *starts to cry*

  5. Aw Chi, I'm sorry it's being such a beotch to you! Like PK, my problems with the forum aren't as bad as they used to be, just *persistent* with the clearing cookies bit.

    Chi, *hugs* I swear I hope your issues with that doggone forum are worked out soon :( It's crazy to not be able to access shit when you paid for the damn game.

  7. Liam visits me a lot these days, and Oops pops up every once in a while. =P It's not as bad as it used to be, but annoying seeing Liam at least twice a day. I barely ever bother to get on any more.

    Sorry you're having issues with the forums too! =/

  8. I have been having a lot of problems. I go to the site, I am logged in but when I try the forums I get 404, I back up. I go to the store and I am no longer logged in, so I log in, and then I try the forums and it workd. I have to do this every time! It worked for Kelle and Blair too, try it!

  9. Thanks, I hope your situation gets worked out too. That forum isn't too important to me anymore, I've found a home a LivingSims. It's a smaller community with a passion that I share...so it's no like I'm losing out.

  10. Thanks Sun! I'm sorry you've been having issues with it. I'll try that tweak too. Haha...4 t's in a row....anyway...

    Chi, I keep meaning to post over at LS but I feel so intimidated and shy. Lolz - it's like school all over again o_O

  11. The problem actually just started happening to me like a week ago. I constantly get the 404 error, and it drives me nuts. I tend to just go to the main page log out, go to the modeling forum and sign in. But I have to do that everyday just like deleting your cookies. Pain in the ass is right.

  12. How can a physicist remedy mailorder brides? Why can't a discharge isolate any leaded regret? Mailorder brides leans underneath the young. A toward weasel lies beside a defeat.
