What Happened To Palmbux?

It has been like weeks, probably a month now, I noticed that Palmbux isn't loading the pages and consequently accounts can't be accessed. Being a member, for quite a while, I have been checking this site daily hoping that I could get back into my Palmbux account. However, until now, Palmbux ain't online yet.Though I was just quiet about this before, but now I think something is really wrong about it. Then suspicions and doubts now came flooding, not just from me, but also to other members. 

What Really Happened?

Palmbux Is Down

What happened?

It may not be an uncommon event in the internet, especially when a site is a PTC site, that a website would be down. As of today Palmbux is down. That means the site is currently offline and is not accessible. If you try to access the website, you would be redirected to a different web page although the URL or the website's address is correct. Yesterday, when I tried to log-in to Palmbux, I was denied of access a few times and an error was displayed that there was a Network Error then blah blah.. I thought that the site has been blocked automatically, so I had my blocker temporarily disabled. But to no avail, I was again denied a couple more times. So, I just left it be. Then today when I tried to log-in, although the error message was gone a different web page was displayed (see image below).

On the second thought, maybe Palmbux is under maintenance or construction. If that is the case, what would appear would be a web page indicating the cause. With this page, it would most likely seemed to have some minor problems in terms with the host of the website.

Here are some reasons why the above web page would come out:

• The web host might have some technical problems. (ironically, i think that page might not appear)
• The PTC site might not have paid dues on the web host. (this is usually the case)
• There is a maintenance in the database or transfer to another host. (this is very common)
  
• There might have been some misunderstandings between Palmbux and web host admins and turned out to have the services of Palmbux disabled. (jerk! such a kiddie act.. lol..)

What to do?

Well, as for members, there's nothing much we can do but to have faith and wait. As far as I have remembered, this happened before in Palmbux and to other PTC sites that have been online until today. Hopefully, this would not take long of a time so we can continue our Palmbux endeavors.

Palmbux offline? Don't worry... :)
We are back online!

Paypal Issues In Palmbux

Yesterday, an edit to the post by admin has made some greater hopes on resolving the problem very soon. Paypal had started the year with some issues. With the paypal accounts currently disabled in Palmbux for cashout, members that uses Paypal as payment merchant are uncomfortable with the current situation. Are they that strict? Or is that part of their security measures?

Here's what admin said:
Hmm, maybe today is our happy day? PayPal wrote us now that all documents are okay and verified.

We just need to give them one more proof, that we are really the owners of PalmBux.

Yeah, nice joke, how to proof this?! But dont worry, we make it happen and send them enough proofs tomorrow and call them again if the proofs are okay.

It looks as we will solve this soon

Here's the full detail:

I guess Paypal won't let one of their great customers get lose and turn to some other services. With persistent admin and members, this problem won't be that long to be over.

Change Personal Settings

It was just a few days passed where V3 was launched but did have some problems and are being fixed by Palmbux Team. However, admin did not forget to remind the members to add security to one's account to further strengthen the safety. Please refer to this post for the info about that. Registration And Password.

How to change Personal Settings?

1. log-in to your account. (will be re-directed to My Account after successful log-in)
2. go to your account. My Account.
3. look for the member's settings bar, located below the Palmbux header name.
4. find the Settings button. (encircled with red in the image below)
5. place mouse cursor over the button and wait for the sub-menu to flash out
6. click the Personal link
7. fill in the blanks required and follow the instructions

Being one of the avid members of Palmbux, I also have my Personal Settings changed, as shown in the image above, which is in accordance to what admin have warned. Security is relatively needed as rampant attacks in the internet are not uncommon. Also, do not forget to enter your current password to save changes in your account.

What Happened to V3?

A celebration of Palmbux of its success when it started way back a year ago. Along with the news was the announcement of running the new Palmbux version V3. The much awaited new Palmbux site. With this new hard-worked place to continue business with it, a new and elegant V3 went online. Lots of members were excited and happy about this.

Here's the forum discussion of V3 launch.
Finally V3.

After the success of the release of V3 online , the real testing of the new site was on, testing the features with the current numbers of members Palmbux have. With lots of people using the net, many possibilities could have happened. And, an announcement was made today from admin. Three days have passed and bugs were found in V3. Many features were damaged due to a DDoS Attack. With the decisive team, Palmbux used the former version while bugs were to be resolved.

Here's what admin said:
We' re already working on the problems of V3

Dear member,

all of you recognized the problems while launching V3. First site was over 1.5 days offline because of a DDoS attack. Then we started V3 and noticed that most of our files were damaged and did not work as for example the view ads or forum page.

All important features and graphics were lost because of this attack. We decided to change to V2 and fix these problems on V3. Right now we' re already working on all these bugs to start V3 in a full working version again.

I just can say sorry - But we will launch V3 and this time it will be big.

Best regards,
admin

Here's the forum discussion on this problem.
8th Dec: Where is V3?

It is a better to use the former version while having the bugs of the new version get fixed. A nice move from the Palmbux Team. Hopefully this would not last so long, as features related to ads were also affected in the former version.

Palmbux Team, have announced the other day about a very great achievement in the history of Palmbux. I guess, the date is very noted date for all the members, and especially to the Palmbux Team.

13th: Good news! 25% Discount for renewing!


Join me with PALMBUX!

This is so nice of Palmbux Team. This is the biggest discount given in any PTC site in any category that I have ever seen. That is a nice move from the Palmbux Team, well, as always. With the better server, hope Palmbux would continue do great.

No cash during Cashout!

A few days have passed since the return of Palmbux with its new server. A message from Palmbux Team proudly announcing the success of the transfer to the new server. Refer to my previous post for info about this. Palmbux is back!

As was claimed, there still have some minor problems that are needed to b resolved. Now, one of the problems, which I noticed when I was about to cashout, a prompt appeared that surprised me with its message. All payments are currently disabled. I was about to send a support ticket when I browsed at the forum for info and I saw a post about it. I knew that it only did not happened to me.

View this post for info. What Happened To cashout?

Although, I'm not dismayed for not having some cashout today, I knew they won't keep my earned money. This might have been temporarily disabled due to some minor problems that are to be resolved. I think this is a good move from the Palmbux Team to prevent further bigger problems which might arise when money is on the line.

Palmbux is back!

After a few days down because of new server transfer, Palmbux is now back to business. Although, there were a few bugs found that slows down the site, the Palmbux Team promised that it will be fixed in no time. Just like what they always did. Eventually, everything seemed fine today, except that, banners and smileys are not yet showing up. Well, i guess I'll just wait until this would have resolved. I believe in the Palmbux Team. And yes, it's a lot faster than the previous server. Horray!!!

Here's the full forum discussion,
Welcome Back!!!

Join me now in Palmbux!

This new server is a lot faster than the previous one in terms of viewing ads, renting refs, site browsing, etc. Many are now happy with this new event of Palmbux. I hope this just won't be good for a start, but this would maintain like this. Another good job from the Palmbux Team!!!

Cross Browser Security

This feature have been running in Palmbux for a while now. I just thought this might be nice to post this pretty feature, yeah I find this nice. This is called the Cross Browser Session Tracking which was just implemented last September, which is one of the new security measures of Palmbux.

How would this work?
Simple.. If one would try to log-in with different browsers at the same time, it would be detected. And the outcome, would be a 30-minute ban from logging in Palmbux.

What should be done?
Now, all members are requested to follow one usage guidance after logging in, it is to click 'Log Out' before leaving PalmBux site.

Here's the full forum discussion.
Topic: MUST See - New Security implemented.


Join me Now in PALMBUX!

This feature might be a little bothersome if you forgot to click the Log Out link.. Actually, I was banned for once, and had learned my lesson.. It's funny when at the same time you were banned, referrals would be available, or bonus ads would come out.. It really pays to follow rules, sometimes, lolz.. But recently, I have noticed that this feature might have been lessen the degree of banning.. If you let your opened account left for a few more minutes without activities in it, the feature of auto-logout would override, and when you try to access the site, you'll be prompted with the login page without the 30 minute ban. Well, maybe I have just left the site unattended more than the alloted banned time, so that's what has prompted me..

Server Downtime

There was a server downtime last October 20, 2009 at Palmbux. Many people got worried, but not furious, about what had happened. After the server have recovered and is online, The Palmbux Team posted a thread in response to what had happened the other day. Many were glad that Palmbux is back, and showed full support with the team. Many also were disappointed with had the hosting provider did.

Here's what the Palmbux Team said,

Hello,

Last night the Palmbux - Server was shut down by our Hoster. Unfortunally we reached the Bandwith limit for this month, just 5 hours before the new paid month started...( the server-month is allways 20th to 19th of each month!

It´s unbelievable that the Hoster stopped the Server, just for these 5 hours... We pay alot for the server - and the new month was already paid - so normally there was no need to interrupt the service...

We are really very disappointed with this hoster - and now we´re gonna change to the new server asap!! The new Server has a lot more Power and unlimited data-transfer. So this won´t happen again. The actual server was back online on midday already - but, to make it fair for all users, we decided to let the Site offline till 0:00 hrs server time.

So, the Site was off for 24 hours - all users will have one day added to their refs and memberships. Also, all users have the necessary clicks added, to be credited for your refs clicks today!!

We are really sorry and apologize for this issue !!

But - we didn´t even think that our actual hoster would treat us this way....

Anyway - all those server-issues of the last weeks will be solved with the server-change and the new Version V3 - probably in 10-15 days!!

Greets & sorry!!

Your Palmbux - Team

Server downtime 20th October

It is a very great decision to move to another server. The upcoming V3 of Palmbux is a much awaited. It is just about 10 days to 15 days wait for its launch. Many are excited about this and just can't wait to have this. If we have these kind of Technical Support, then these new features will be a lot better than the previous.
