Trouble Accessing the Forum?
« on: April 01, 2009, 04:38:40 PM »
I've been having trouble accessing the forum on several occasions over the last two weeks, most recently from the evening of march 30th to this morning april 1st (bad april fools joke) & twice before this, though i can't remember exactlly what days it was. I would get a message basically that the computer was not able to connect to the site. tried with several search engines with the same results.  any one else had a similar problem?

I'm not talking about minutes, I'm talkin about not accessing for 24 hours or more, then all the sudden its there again. I can see where others have posted while i could not connect to the system.

Same for me. It was dismal last night , only managed a few minutes access in hours. It would even go down during replying to a post. It has been notably bad over the past few days.

Yes me too for the last two days. Hard to connect. Then drop outs in the middle of reading or posting.
Hey Chis, "what's my system worth?" I'll keep trying to post a reply.

Are you kidding!! Ever since discovering this forum last summer, its been hit or miss for me as to whether I can access, login, or post. More than a few times I've written my posts or replies in wordpad first then pasted when I knew or thought I had a good connection. Sometimes I can view some posts and not others ???. Took a half hour to view this topic. Don't think Ive lost it for 24 hours though.

Same here. Although, for me it seems that once I'm on the site, it rarely goes down when I'm cruising the site.
