Access difficulty
 

This morning access has been awkward, the normal link gives a useless error message, no error number. This access was via tortuga.

I've been denied access all day and only just now back in.
:( Bob

I'm sorry this is happening and wish I could make it better :(

.......... I've had trouble off and on in accessing, lasting anywhere from minutes to hours ........ I hope this gets figured out and fixed soon.

Problems
 

I have been having hassles accessing it most of the week. Both at home and at work.
It seems that the past two days have been pretty good (so far)..

I also have had trouble accessing MLU, thought it was problems this end, but now see it to be a common problem. One minute I could be on it, then go to another site and not able to return again.

No probs in last 2 days though :thup:

access
 

hello all
I had trouble accessing from two to five thirty today
no error messages just said could not find site
Tried other sites and they were fine

computers arent they fun :doh:

Well, we're having fun then, aren't we? :bang:

I'm awaiting a go-ahead from Our Grand Master about a yahoo group I setup a few minutes ago and want happening where we can connect outside of MLU when we're having trouble accessing and making contact, and can ask or alert about it in there. I'm home almost 24/7 and monitoring the yahoo group will be quick response from my end. Will keep you posted if this is a go ... it would sure save whizzing a lot of emails back and forth to each other and waiting for replies about the forum. If having problems just check in this group first and save a lot of time and typing? .......... :cheers:

Yahoo Group
 

Karmen, thanks for the thought, but this really isn't the answer. If push comes to shove, I'll set up a temporary forum which all can access as an alternate location for information purposes.

We've had this situation before and got it sorted, and we'll sort this one the same way as soon as I can find the right buttons to push. I have an open ticket with the provider right now and have just input a new suggestion on it; I'll keep you all posted.

AJ -- computers are fun, it's just the idiots who make our lives miserable! There's a way around them too, though... :)

problems
 

Yes its been very slow here up in the North...but we will keep plodding on...Compliments of the Season to All from Malcolm in a very cold and wet North-Northumberland

Re: Yahoo Group
 

No Jif the bullet goes through them not around them! :D

Re: Yahoo Group
 

Understood to all. I couldn't get in here to read this until just now, since early this morning ... anyways, just thought it would be easier and quicker all round for members to have one place to check in when they're having troubles to see if anyone else whinging etc ... saves everyone emailing admins if they can check there first, including us helping in here :D If you DO start another forum for info purposes and its through your site and server though ... we might not be able to access it either :D

Anyways ... I'm in now ... thanks for reply



:cheers:

Re: Re: Yahoo Group
 

Damn, is that what I was doing wrong...?? ;)

Was just trying to help and had the idea this might make things a little more efficient all round.

:cheers:

Was posting last night, dropped out and only now back on nearly 24hrs later. Very frustrating.

Re: problems
 

A Very Merry Christmas and best holidays and 2008 wishes to you and yours too Malcolm!!!

Sure is frustrating for you folks all planning things etc.
I know Geoff probably harassing the server folks to fixit yesterday but can only wait til they fixit I guess. Am sure our Grand Master is quite cranky with them by now :eek:

By the way, since I had already set up the yahoo group in waiting until a yes/no go ahead, and receiving your thanks but no thanks ;) I decided not to waste it and changed it to Ma Yappy friends as another place to connect online should that come in handy sometimes. I, meself, can be reached there at any rate for those who don't have my email address etc :) I put the link in my profile.

Ma Yappy

Me, too. I get half way through a post and

Me, too. I get half way through a post and...........then again today was down all day so I'd better read fast.

Re:- Slow
 

One thing I have noticed, and Geoff mentioned it earlier in the thread, after a period like this I seem to end up with a load of "Canadian" spam and phishing.

The quotes are only there to indicate that whilst it may be Canadian based, a quick check of IP numbers often shows up the usual culprits (Russia, China, Nigeria, Togo, etc)

Re: Re:- Slow
 

Interesting coincidence about the glitches followed by Canadian spam and stuff. Whatever is up with things lately, I hope it get's figured out and fixed soon. What a major pain and how hard it is to find the problems and fixem sometimes. ... here's hoping soon ... :)

Can only get access through http://tortuga.dnsrouter.com/~mlu/forums/ at the moment.

H.

Me too ;)

it was slow but I got through on the usual front door addy rather then sneaking in the back door like some other folk! :rolleyes

Back Doors
 

Interesting... all day long (14 hrs now) I've been in ONLY from the regular front-door access. Occasional delays but that's all, nothing to warrant an updated ticket...

Yes. Definately strange how individually unpredictable access is for a member/members even when a lot of people having trouble. Access points/routes are somehow being blocked, seemingly unpredictable times and routes ... focal point, again, being MLU access points, therefore MLU is being glitched? It's definately MLU forum I would say, only what or who is doing it ... aye, there's the big question and cure hey?



:confused

Still the same :(

This does not happen a lot from my end of the glass fiber!

I'd put in a ticket . . . or two.

H.

BTW, the connection is very, very slow, like being on dialup again! :eek:

I'm really getting dizzy from having to try different links every page or every other page change. Forum fluctuates between very fast page changes to very VERY slow to ... can't access ... back and forth for me, whuch is the norm workings from my end these days in here.

Some of us (like me) gotta be sneaky ... people chasing me don't you know and can't let 'em catch me? :eek: :D ... gee, maybe it's Santa? Maybe I'll let 'im catch me then D
