I can't see my (or any other) feedback. Is that because I'm a bad person?
All I see is a blank page for your feeedback.
Nobody's feedback can be seen.
Maybe they are getting rid of feedback, and installing a POOF button instead.
More likely, the feedback is getting erased and started anew.
But most likely it's just a glitch.

I would suspect this is what everybody gets?
'The website cannot display the page

•The website is under maintenance.
•The website has a programming error.

I think it's pretty stupid the moderator can't at least 'say something'. IE I don't friggin know or 'whatever'. Maybe this is the type of thread he's been wishing for. You know where everybody sits around wondering why they're bothering with this place to start with.

FBM knows what the "white page of death" is. If a script isn't just right, a misplaced space or semicolon will do that.
A '500 internal error' is a misconfiguration of the server or a machine problem most of the time. Check your httpd.conf, reboot, and read your logs.
In this case, the database barfs often enough to make that the primary suspect, but it shouldn't necessarily have trashed the feedback table.
I don't know, since I don't use IPB.
$.02, y'know..

Get rid of all feedback information! It is now BS. Bogus. Non-updated information to new members. More and more disingenuous as time goes on. A pathetic useless inaccurate representation. Misleading. Dishonest. An embarrassment to a science forum. A fossilized piece of irrelevancy. Broken outdated machines are to be either discarded or fixed, but remaining impotent where they no longer have a place is clutter. Petrified feedback in a dead shell is useless.

Agreed. If feedback isn't going to be fixed, it's better to do away with it altogether.

Yes very sad to hope this forum would even look at what they let happen
Thinking that this is a science forum is so misleading.
What a disappointment it has been.
To even allow such ratings shows they have no clue what social science is.
PS edit; They give themselves away by posting a blank page when you click on the view add feedback.

There would seem to be some clumsy programming involved.
I do not think RP is a clumsy programmer.
I conclude other powers are at work here.

Outstanding! Thank you, sir.
Real miserable about the absence of feedback;- 6 years of personal attacks, gross insults and bile, totally wasted.

How could it be otherwise? Of course you're right. But if the peanut gallery speaks up, he could at least use it as an attempt to show those he answers to that there is something more than apathy present. After witnessing just how fast issues like these can be solved when the person holding those powers actually cares, (granouille for instance) this episode is tedious and need not be. Fix it or toss it. It's a reasonable request.
If no one wants the feedback, and it’s broke, why fix it?
If you don’t like it here then stay away. It’s as easy as that.
If you’re looking for a new forum and you don’t appreciate conformity then try sciforums.

Edit.
I think we need a new rule just for Derek1148:- Edits must be justified.
For example:-
Edit due to posting while temporarily insane followed by temporary phase of sanity.
Edit due to posting while temporarily sane followed by temporary phase of insanity.
None of the above.
Both of the above.

If I recall correctly the 'free-for-all' insults etc allowed in the feedback pages over the years, it would seem prudent for this admin/owner to clean out or totally eliminate any possibly 'actionable' feedback posts/files to avoid being found negligent or complicit to internet maliciousness like we have seen in the past in the feedback pages. My early and strict policy to not get involved in those 'feedback wars' turned out to be more than just good for maintaining my objectivity/impartiality in the various debates, it also avoided any 'stress/angst' I might have experienced about now if I had been less scrupulous. I trust the 'courtesy' lesson will be learned by those not so scrupulous in the past/still. Good luck rpenner....I sincerely hope and trust you won't be unfairly dragged into anything 'actionable' involving feedback miscreance before you became moderator! I know you have tried your best given the limits of the power given you by the owners. Cheers all.

Mostly, I am familiar with criminal law. And civil law varies from state to state (and obviously country to country). However, some posters clearly identified themselves (with actual addresses and phone numbers) and used real names. (BTW, I doubt your last name is Check.)
If a poster clearly identified himself (or herself), and the feedback he (or she) received has a tendency to defame and smear his (or her) reputation, then a civil case might be actionable.
As far my "Edit"s, if other posters don't like it then they should give me negative feedback. I always welcome constructive criticism.

I propose:- Derek1148 be granted a special exemption from any rule requiring Derek1148 to justfy his edits.
I think it's safe to say that his "edit" may be interpreted as a grunt.
You're probably right. Malicious intent is actionable. But there must be some loss or injury (physical or psychological). But either way good advice (both practical and moral).
