The cancellation at Servage Hosting is the biggest PLUS they have!

Really, it might sound funny but the cancellation feature at SERVAGE Hosting is really great and especially many GERMAN Hosters like United-Domains, GMX, EVANZO, especially 1&1 Eins und eins, should really have a look at this.

No long waiting, just fill out the form, click the buttom and you are done.

Account Cancelled

Your account is now cancelled. It will continue to function normally for the remaining prepaid (until 2009-05-21) period but will not be renewed afterwards.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions or if you wish to have your account reopened.

We wish you all the best in the future and hope to see you again!

Never had such a fast reliable and clear account cancellation before. And there is no hazzle with not willing accountants like at 1und1 or eins und eins or 1&1 or GMX or United-Domains or Evanzo and many other GERMAN Hosters. Click and Go is the motto at Servage and that is really cool.

We really recommend this feature at SERVAGE and you really should try it - it's cool!

For the cancellation feature we will give SERVAGE Hosting our very best honors and regards. It is a 5 star cancellation feature they have! Thank You!

LOOKING FOR A QUALIFIED HOSTER

Here some things you should check out in advance before signing up!

1. LIVE SUPPORT 24/7
simply contact them thru their live support and check it out. In 95% of the cases they won't answer you as the 24/7 support isn't available 24/7 ;-)

2. Check out their SPEED of your site and the SPEED of their support
if you have a coffee machine and some nice books to read you might wanna host with SERVAGE HOSTING. They will give you enough time to read chapter by chapter for each page reload and also for waiting until a support member will answer your requests.
if you are looking for communication then go to IMHOSTED HOSTING. They have a 24/7 support and nice addresses to mail to and sometimes they even answer and you will be able to reply many times, because as soon as they start to do something on the server it is getting worse and your site will drop down, show errors over and over ...
Standard answer will be:
Note that our level 2 techs are working on the issue and would update you soon.

3. PANEL
CPanel, Plesk and how they are called - simply forget them and check what has been enabled by the Hoster!
3.1 Can you copy files and folders?
---- not possible at SERVAGE HOSTING

3.2 can you set file Permissions Recursively for complete Folder Branches or checked files and folders
---- not possible at IMHOSTED HOSTING

3.3 can you create SYMLINKS?
---- not possible at IMHOSTED HOSTING

3.4 Check out if you can change CNAME and MX
Records
---- not possible at IMHOSTED HOSTING concerning to CNAME - you need to wait hours until the support will do it!

3.5 Check out if they have ssh
--- not possible at SERVAGE HOSTING

3.6 Check out if you will be able to access ssh even from your Clients PC
---- not possible at IMHOSTED HOSTING as they restrict their ssh to singe IP addresses - in other words it is even not working when you don't have your own STATIC IP Address all the time!!! Do you have a dynamic IP the you will need to wait and write a lot to get this always again enabled. >> simply forget working with ssh at IMHOSTED.COM as it sucks to wait for answers and results!

Hi Nick are you reading TICKETS! We already send loads of tickets since days about your crappy databse. We have about 15 databases or even more running here and our customers have exactly the same problem even they are on another cluster. Yes it is a databse Problem I guess so as your Mysql is NOT working propperly but since days you are not solving this issue. We just met with some of our customers online and they are willing to join us in a huge move if things get running until daytime in Germany! If you want you can join us too! Go to our account and you can see all our databases - it is that as easy!

May 02 - 06:17 GMT Customer

NIck seems to be on holiday and the complete Servage Support followed. Servage is always talking about very short response times. Here you have the proof that it is a lie as it is already far beyond 30 minutes. Could you please get your stuff running so that people can work?

It is also not depending onthe application as Magento, redmine, typo3, even wordpress and lifetype are very slow It is also not depending on the cluster as we have the same problems on our customer accounts like already described many times and some of them are on other custers, i.e. abs-gallery (a number one google gallery website loads like a snail and nothing has been modified there since 3 months!!! in other words it is NOT the application as it was very fast before - went then slow and you moved it because of this to another cluster, It was fast for one month and now it loads like a snail. same my personal account here or the account of Thomas Vogt and other clients

SERVAGE - VERY URGENT - NO DATABASE DUMP POSSIBLE SINCE DAYS!!!

May 02 - 02:21 GMT Customer

SERVAGE is a mess! Never had such BIG Problems with a Hosting Company before. Service is MINUS MINUS MINUS - the worst I have ever seen. Since DAYS we (about 5 other clients of you with again other clients) are waiting for you to get your DAMM MYSQL Settings running!. We can't do any Backups since days - this is incredible! Nor thru tools like PHPMYADMIN nor thru your crappy Backup feature. nor thru external or other internal tools. In other words your MYSQL SUCKS!!! I request an answer immediately as we are already waiting since days and you only answer posts once and then the customers can wait until they die! You won't solve your damm MYSQL Problem.

May 02 - 02:32 GMT Customer

Again no answer Can you please create backups from all our databases and also complete Backups from all our folders as we are now willing to move to another provider. Servage SUCKS. In the future weeks we will also start then moving all our customers - about 50 and more as some of our customers have other customers too. We just discussed it and feedback was great and we already found a company which would be interested to take all those frustrated users over. It would be very nice if you could get those backups running and place them in the ROOT folder. We then will download everything via ftp. Thanks! We will post the problem on our blog, so people can see more about Servage's Help and Support. TIP: If you own a Servage account - join us and get moving somewhere else. Drop us a note! Thanks!

May 02 - 04:47 GMT Servage - Steven

Hello Andreas Please try to take the back up manually. Please select the "MySQL Databases" tab in the left menu and click on the yellow link - a new window will open. To make a .sql dump, please select the "Export" tab in the top menu and select which tables or all database to be exported/dumped to your account. Hope this helps! Kind regards, Steven, Support Servage Hosting

May 02 - 06:06 GMT Customer

Mar 28 - 07:54 GMT Support - John

Hello Andreas It seems you are using cron job for running the scripts and receiving the 30 second time limit exceeded message. Please note that you need to tweak your php code to increase the 30 second time limit. You can use set_time_limit() and ignore_user_abort() to increase the execution time. However, The 30 seconds limit will still be shown, but the script will continue to run in the background. Hope this helps :) Kind regards, John, Servage - Support Servage Hosting

SERVAGE Site very very very slow and often not resolving

Mar 27 - 16:45 GMT Customer

Especially our ruby on rails redmine site t3log.info has huge problems as pages often display only if you reaload the same url several times. very often we have simply blank pages or even error messages that the ruby on rails application isn't properly running. reloading mostly solves the problem after 2 - 5 clicks.

Hi folks it seems you are NOT READING the threads carefully as the 8th WORD in the thread already names the DOMAIN. "1. Especially 2. our 3. ruby 4. on 5. rails 6. redmine 7. site 8. t3log.info <<<> have a look also to our blog it will be updated soon with this thread as another example of support how it should NOT be! t3log.info the one we tested and had those huge problems but there are about 30 other domains with exactly the same problem - performance. A move to another server does not make sense as abs-gallery has been moved as you know and is now slower then before. Also angry-men has been moved and fails totaly in performance since. We could name meanwhile lots of other customer domains with exactly the same problems. The problem is you policy. Instead of solving problems you are not reading threads (you only read headers!) Perhaps we should give one tip to servage customers. Write into the header the following line: "PLEASE START READING THE COMPLETE THREAD!" This way you will be forced to open and read every thread instead of ONLY the headers.

BLUE VODA - FREE WESITEBUILDER GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE?

Since several Years Voda Hosting is sending out lots of mails into the world wide web to promote their free websitebuilder. In Fact it is free and on the first view looks as the one and all tool touild your websites. But unfortunately on the second view you figure out, that BlueVoda is only working on Voda Hosting and on a third view - latest when you going to move your site to another hoster you will realize that all your work done with BlueVoda is not yours. The rights on all Graphical Materials are hold by VodaHost and they won't allow you to publish your site on any other servers.

Here some Correspondance with Voda Hosting concerning Blue Voda
If you are a Servage Hosting Client be informed that Voda Host is not continuing their licencing program as they write in their mails. In other words you will face probably big legal or/and technical (no more updates) problems soon, using the Servage Website Builder.

------------read more about:

BlueVoda will only publish to a VodaHost account. If
you visit the page where you downloaded BlueVoda...

www.BlueVoda.com

Or any other site where BlueVoda is offered for download.

You will see that it clearly says..."A VodaHost account
is required for you to publish".

Please visit the below link to learn more about what we
have to offer.

http://www.vodahost.com/features.htm

----------------------- read more about
Questions:

What about all those Graphics and Buttons, Headers and even Site Layouts. Can they be used on any account even it is no VodaHost Account i.e. Servage.de or Servage.net? Can those graphical material be used in any other context? What Licence applies to all those pictures/graphics you offer with BlueVoda - GNU, GPL, GPDL, CC, or any other - royalty free? What about people shown in these templates, have they agreed to be used on multiple websites in any context or even modified?

-------------------------------- read more about

we have nothing to do with servage...they are a licensed
distributer of our software...but they are not part of our
company. They have an older version of our website builder.

---------------------- read more about
Questions:

So we can use all BlueVoda Stuff also on Servage or are the Versions incompatible. i.e. if we download the Version from BlueVoda and use them on Servage. Is it also OK to use all Graphical Material you provide at BlueVoda like Headers, Tmplates, Pictures, Buttons,... on Servage or any other hosting acount or will this be not covered by your license.

The Licensing is actually a very importantPart for us as we don't want to cause problems for our customers while we are using bluevoda's graphical Material on their websites.

I hope you can also answer this very important question.

------------------------------- read more about

no...they are not cross compatible....BlueVoda can only be used on VodaHost....servage website builder can only be used on servage.

--------------------- read more about
Questions:

So we need probably to ask Servage to upgrade ;-) to be uptodate.

Nevertheless is the question with all those headers, pictures and other grafical stuff. This would also work on Servage as we tried (it is actually only a picture ;-)) Is it OK to use this on our customers websites or not. What Licence applies to all this graphical stuff? Is this royalty free and public domain? We don't want to get into trouble using even pictures from i.e. BlueVoda or the Servage Package.

--------------------------- read more about
IMPORTANT FOR ALL SERVAGE HOSTING CUSTOMERS:

servage can not be upgraded...we stopped the licencing program...why
not just go straight to the source and create a VodaHost account???

---------------------------- read more about
FINALLY THEY SUBMITTED THE ANSWER TO OUR FIRST QUESTIONS

all graphics downloaded form Vodahost are digitally watermarked and coded and are only to be used on vodahost servers...if you use them on any other server we will know within 30 days and we will take action to protect our interests...

---------------------------- read more about

This is to bad, as because of your answer we need to tell our customers, which are still at vodahost and have build their sites using bluevoda, that they actually don't own their own sites. On the other hand it is also a good advertisement for our services, as they now need really somebody who will be able to make a nearly similar looking website like the one they have made with bluevoda.

Your answer helps us a lot to verify this problem to our customers. Thanks a lot for this clear statement. By the way it would be fair to inform all customers and future customers about this problem as I guess many would simply skip bluevoda and start directly with a qualified agency like ours, to build real professional websites.

------------------- END

SUMMARY:
BlueVoda Free Website Builder looks and is of course free but will you cost a lot of money if you are moving to another server. So better think first and look twice before you start downloading this free websitebuilder package and all its nice graphical stuff. You will never own a pice on your works - never, beside the text you are putting in ;-)

A good professional Wedesigner might cost you more to start but will be producing websites where you have all rights in your hands and can host and move your site to any server you wish to.

Hi Julie There are SEVERAL possible answers for that: (don't take it to seriously :-) 1. I am a big hacker and have hacked into a clustered system - wow really good, never thought that I am so good and I am actually not 2. I am someone like David Copperfield - you propably know the magician. He can walk through the Chinese Wall so why shouldn't I be able to simply walk into an blocked account and send support messages even I can't login - Not Television but Telepathy perhaps? 3. Your German isn't so good even Servage is advertising German Support on their websites and because of this you didn't understand : Könntes du denen ein Ticket schreiben, ich selbst komme ja nicht mehr rein :-( Hier die Daten: Username: t****** Passwort: b****** Which means: Could YOU (which means I Andi) post a Ticket, as I (my friend t*****) can't login myself anymore :-( He included his login Data. 4. You realized The Userlogin Data and were able to read and translate "Username" into your language, but unfortunately then you never heard about "Passwort" as it was a German word and in English it is "Password" written with "D" at the end. 5. You can't even understand English: "This is a CUSTOMER of yours and he can't login anymore. WE had the same issue just about several days ago. Could you please contact him immediately t*****@googlemail.com" As in this part it is exactly described that it is a friend of mine who has the problem ;-) including his email which YOU should contact. 6. You haven't even written the Text in the Post but only the header. --------------------------- Solutions: to 1. Push the red button. Improve your system-security block all hidden and already closed ports - best shut up the server and cluster completely to 2. Ask your customer to receive a free entrance ticket for his next show. Best bring Steffan Fallesen with you as your Partner! to 3. Don't advertise things you don't have as people might believe in it and get a wrong impression after testing your support. So better learn German immediately to 4. Write a Bug Report to the people who programmed your translation program and try to get back your money if even they don't know that Passwort means Password or simply use GOOGLE Translation Toolbar. to 5. Here in Phuket we provide an excellent Charter and Homeschooling System IMCT (International Montessori Charter and Training School) We follow the Montessori Methode : Help me to do it by myself! Wewould be happy to enrole you in our firstgraders class to 6. Better change your job or come to us at Phuket to receive a first class training as support assistant in a global opperating callcenter as interim. Here you also will learn how to open a message to read the text which follows the header until the end. -------------------------------- Don't take it to seriously, we test since several months servage support but your answer was so good that we all fell from our Chairs laughing around. Unfortunately our friend in Germany is still waiting to get access to his website.

This is actually very bad as we are just developing sites for lots valuable customers like .... and its Dependencies and ..... with about 30 Domains just running on Servage (we had it on an own server but I suggested to move it back to servage - probably a very bad decission). This means for us finally that we need to move ALL this stuff and ALL other customer-sites to another hoster which provides those needed parts as they are essential for the digital assessment management Center all those big Companies and NGO organisations will use in future. They can't index thousands of pictures, videos and documents manually so they need these extensions and additional programs/php-parts. As absolutly no security reasons come from the mentioned programs you probably talk better to your boss Steffan before we decide moving all our stuff and customers - it would be a big loss for servage and for future TYPO3 clients. ;-) Although we like NOW the features provided by servage hosting all of them would be unusable if our customers could not use DAM meta automatic insertions as they need to handle thousands of records and customers. I will also discuss this terrible situation with our other developers and what they suggest to do. Moving to another hoster, Building up an own clustered Server Network (This was already in planing before I suggested to first try your service by the way ;-) We need an answer in very short time (2 days) as we have deadlines to fulfill! I hope you can find a solution soon. Andi

SERVAGE HOSTING DEUTSCHER KUNDENSERVICE KANN KEIN DEUTSCH!

Jan 17 - 14:45 GMT Customer

Today we read the announcement that Servage Hosting offers now also German Support for its Members but it seems as it is only a Marketing Gag and a real Flop. We simply asked the support in German and he mailed back in English and asked us to submit the problem in SIMPLE English Language. Very bad for our customers - lots of them who we had today in house and asked for it - as we now have to tell them that there isn't any German Support available at all and it seems like http://www.servage.de which was until last week redirected to http://www.servage.net is only a real big untrue and unhonest thing. I am so sorry about that! Submit this Part best to Steffan Fallesen and ask him if he is the only one capable to speak German at Servage Hosting. Translation of the Header in simple English: Servage Hosting German Customer Service/Support can't speak German! Any comments: http://apapococ.blogspot.com/

What about your Ethics: - http://www.servage.de Gesetz und Ethik Es ist unsere Politik geltende Gesetze und Regulierungen für unser Geschäft zu befolgen. Wir erwarten von unseren Angestellten, dass diese sich auf eine ethisch korrekte Art verhalten und stets fair, gründlich und verantwortungsvoll Ihre Aufgaben lösen. - http://www.servage.net Legal Compliance and Ethics It is our policy to be in compliance with all laws and regulations applying to our business operations in each of the territories in which we operate. We expect our employees to conduct themselves in an ethical manner in all dealings on its behalf, and to be honest, fair and courteous in their work. ---------------------------------------- You write here about "TO BE HONEST": Do you think it is honest to tell people wrong things thru your websites? Do you think it is OK to promote on the website a German Support but actually the Support isn't at all capable to answer in or read German? We maid the test as you know - Asked you a very simple Question in German and you asked us to formulate the simple question in simple english ;-) I guess this is not very honest to deal like this with your customers. OR? Really sad not to receive any answers now!

Hello Andreas, I am sorry to say that the German support is still not available. It will be available in next few months. Thank you! :) Kind regards, Scott, Support Servage Hosting

Jan 17 - 15:22 GMT Customer

You See Scott! How can we promote Servage if we tell our customers about you and then we receive those answers. This is very very bad! So please DEACTVATE the part which says DEUTSCHER KUNDENDIENST as it is against GERMAN LAW AND ORDER!!! if you don't have it available NOW - or simply add the thing you just wrote me. Add - will be available in a few months but we don't know in how many months ;-) Steffan Fallesen can translate it into German. I really recommend Servage to change their Service Partner to a much more reliable one. For us Customer Support is NO1 and not something we make jokes of like your German Customer Service. Lets check http://www.servage.de I guess some very angry customers will monitor the appearance of the text "Deutscher Kundenservice" before ther is really a German Support at Servage Hosting.

Deutscher Kundenservice - Freundlicher Support auf Deutsch

Jan 17 - 14:15 GMT Customer

Hallo Servage wie wir gerade von unseren Freunden erfahren haben gibt es nun endlich doch auch einen Support auf Deutsch. Wir koennen das noch garnicht glauben und fragen deshalb einmal nach. Also unter Servage.de - Technische Daten - steht eben dieses: "Deutscher Kundenservice - Freundlicher Support auf Deutsch" Ich hoffe dass wir unsere Anfrage von numehr nicht mehr in Englisch machen muessen. Danke!

No Help since over 1 hour and still no chance to unzip our files on the server. This is absolutly NO Service at Servage Hosting The thread gets closed as we need it for other stuff. The problem is still OPEN which means you should solve the problem, that it is not possible to unpack your zip files on Servage Hosting immediately even this thread had to be closed!

SERVAGE HOSTING LOOSING DATA? SITES READING FROM WRONG DATABASES

Jan 14 - 16:01 GMT Customer

This might be even a huge security issue as at Servage Hosting Sites read data from "nonexisting" databases. Nonexisting as those databases aren't mentioned in database.yml. Case as an example: Customer A deletes a database from database.yml - normally then no content from this database will show up. At Servage Hosting it is just the opposite. If you delete the database Entry from database.yml of your ruby application then the complete data still is readable - even it is actually no more existing. It seems that Servage Hosting has a BIG PROBLEM with their Cluster Technology and Caching of Customer Pages. Since Hours 2 Sites are showing WRONG CONTENT and the Support is even not answering to this major problem.

Jan 14 - 16:04 GMT Customer

It is still the same sites http://www.t3log.info and http://redmine.t3pack.info Both should show the same content!!!! at the moment as both are connected to the same database but BOTH show contentfrom a database which isn't existing anymore since HOURS.

Sie sind eine DEUTSCH FIRMA, sind in Deutschland ansaessig also koennen Sie auch DEUTSCH sehr gut verstehen, bzw. finden jemand - z.B. Steffan Fallesen, der DEUTSCH kann. Sie haben nun schon den ganzen Tag mit absolutem NICHTSTUN geglaenzt und wir verzeichnen dadurch Verluste. Bis gestern ging unsere Seite einwandfrei und seitdem JULIE gestern an ihr rumgemacht hat geht sie NICHT mehr. Wir haben versucht unser DEMO das noch einwandfrei arbeitet mit der LIVE Datenbank zu verbinden, doch s wird seit Stunden nur die DEMO Datenbank angezeigt, die ueberhaupt nicht mehr in database.yml drinnensteht. Durch IHR nichtstun sind uns erhebliche Schaeden entstanden die wir so nicht stehen lassen koennen.

Jan 14 - 14:36 GMT Customer

According to Steffan Fallesen, founder of Servage, in an interview with Ipwalk, ''Most new customers are gained via customer referrals and we are very proud of this. We do not want to be a high profile company. Instead we focus on bringing the customer the best possible service at a good rate.'' HA - HA - HA - I guess meanwhile nobody who ever dealt with your terrible support will agree on this! WE NEED OUR PROBLEMS SOLVED AND NOT KEPT ON HOLD ENDLESSLY AND CAUSED BY YOUR STAFF

Hi Mark We have done this the whole day and our lawyers are meanwhile preparing their stuff as YOU are constantly destroying our good work due to your NONRESPONDING mentality. You are a GERMAN COMPANY, German Courts will be getting this issues as we are waiting since 24 Hours for help for a problem one of your Support Members - JULIE - has caused and only received stupid answers. We have very valuable customers like **** who weren't able to work today with Redmine which draw us back a complete day!!! This is only one customer as an example. There are also other SERVAGE Customers with HUGE SITES and **** which couldn't work either. So please send us Address of Company, Responsible Person, Handelsregistereintrag No - Company Registration Number, Court which is responsible for lawsuits (all German Companies which are registered have it) We tried to contact you via phone and no response We marked the complete issues as URGENT but you didn't answer the issues You are a GERMAN Company and therefore GERMAN will be the MAIN LANGUAGE. If you don't believe for who we are working check the database which didn't get loaded into t3log.info I guess then you know it better ;-) I check back in 15 Minutes and I hope I will see the ALL Answers to ALL my questions

Even Redmine in http://www.t3log.info and the Redmine in http://redmine.t3pack.info have since HOURS a NEW Database assigned and the one still showing up in on those domains is still the old and empty one. Don't you get it? http://apapococ.blogspot.com/

Meanwhile we rebuild the complete site http://www.t3log.info/ it is a copy from the working http://redmine.t3pack.info In BOTH sites the same content should show up but still only the demo Content - nothing - is visible instead of all CUSTOMER Projects

Jan 14 - 16:21 GMT Customer

FAKT NOW is somebody of your staff has truncated our DATABASE!!! about 2 month hard work. And it was still there this morning but now it is gone! We have an Empty Database now. I have no idea what you are doing but one thing seems to be very very sure, that the SERVAGE SUPPORT has no qualification to do such a job at all as SERVAGE HOSTING SUPPORT is destroying Customers Databases!

Jan 14 - 16:33 GMT Servage - Jan

Hello Andreas, thanks for your ticket, I am very sorry for all the issues occured to you, I have removed the Symlink for you and will report the issue to our dev. Team so they can fix the Symlink removal issue. which database has been truncated ? the one on mysql1**5 or mysql***5 ? Kind regards, Jan, System Administrator Servage Hosting

Jan 14 - 16:37 GMT Customer

Description: Redmine_t3log.info Database: ****t3li**** Server: mysql1**** This one is empty and before it ws holding the complete project data of awhole lot of Projects like ****, ****, **** and more

Jan 14 - 16:50 GMT Customer

Hi Jan This here is some kind of Backup: Server: mysql1**** Database: **** Username: **** ATTENTION this Data is all in latin1_swedish_ci!!! while the Original was all in utf8_unicode_ci As we have Thai People from UNESCO working with us on the projects. You can replay Server: mysql2**** Database: **** but you would need to convert all data to utf8 before importing into Server: mysql1**** Database: **** Otherwise some characters won't show up correctly. Best to do is to convert all data from Server: mysql1**** Database: **** to binaries first, then convert them with iconv and editing the charset and collation settings of each table and field where a charset latin1 or collation latin1_swedish_ci is mentioned all charsets need to be utf8 and all collations need to be utf8_unicode_ci The database Server: mysql2**** Database: **** is already set to completly utf8

Jan 14 - 16:58 GMT Servage - Jan

Hello Andreas, thanks for your reply, I have just tried to find out wehat happended to your database "****" but was unable to find any hints. It might be that a Mysql server Bug has caused this so I have just added one month of free hosting to your account as a compensation. Additionally Im trying to copy the data from **** to ****. Im going to update you when its done. Kind regards, Jan, System Administrator Servage Hosting

Jan 14 - 17:34 GMT Servage - Jan

Hello Andreas, I have just converted and imported the database. Could you please verify if the content does have the right charset now as I did not find any non-ASCII char by scrooling the dump Quickly through I could use to see if the conversion succeded. And notify me if something went wrong. Kind regards, Jan, System Administrator Servage Hosting

Jan 14 - 17:40 GMT Customer

Thanks Jan The Database is Back and seems to work fine. I need to ask my staff tomorrow where they entered i.e. Thai Characters or Chinese as I don't know either. But as if you haven't sen anything while scrolling probably there are none right now - what would be fine ;-) Thank You very much for your help! I hope this doesn't happen again! Andi
