Accessing MLU

Richard Coutts-Smith · #1 01-03-11, 10:26

I generally use the "tortuga" address for MLU, but this has not connected for a week or two now. I can still access via "orbit", not sure how widespread this is, and it may be my imagination, but numbers seem down as well?

That's the one I'm using now which is why the numbers are down I think. Shawn and Hanno have things well in hand so hopefully the confusion and outages will soon be a thing of the past.

"class-five" hasn't worked for over a week either, it's connecting to an unrelated site.

As many of you know, this is an ongoing problem, and the problems accessing the site differs from user to user. For some reason the website address does not always resolve to the correct location of the forum. This problem is compounded by the Geoff's passing, so we are now working solve it once and for all. This might include a (temporary) move to a new URL, so watch this space for further news.

These URLs should give you access to the site:
- http://orbit.dnsrouter.com/~mlu/forums/ - at least for now for most if not all users;
- http://www.mapleleafup.nl/ - this one will continue to work because I control it and will have it linked to the most current URL.

HTH,
Hanno

I have found, several times, that if I let the connection process fail (to get the message "web site can not be found" or however it is phrased) and then refresh the page, F5 key for Internet Explorer, the site may immediately load.
I don't understand it, but it may help with access or diagnostics.

In that many people cannot log on.

I went two weeks without getting in. remembered that I had Carmins email and she gave me four log ons to try.

Could we not send out an email to all members telling alternate log ins.

It seems to be very quite otherwise

Regards

I too have for a long time had problems logging in here.

In the last week Hanno has asked us to use only two. I cannot remember the details (I have to admit that I havent yet changed myself)
The thread is called "Accessing MLU" Just run down to hanno's post.

Col Tigwell · #10 08-03-11, 07:45

The point that I was making was I did not have the other sign ins.

So without them I had to sit till I located Carmin.

Suspect we have more, cannot Hanno send a bulk email to all members

Thanks

Col

I've almost given up on trying to get onto the forum using links that have been posted to use over the last week or so. The only one I find, that has been working for me, is one Geoff gave me sometime ago (http://69.50.216.121/~mlu/forums/index.php?s=), but I find that sometimes I’m the only one on the forum. Out of the four links posted above, I find that now, only the third one works for me. I guess until they get things sorted out, it is going to be hit and miss with forum access.

Guys Marc, Andrew, and myself have all been on the forums for a week now with no activity...yesterday Andrew found a link which has brought us back here..... it seems that we now have two MLU's ? we have been on http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=16239

Lynn Eades · #13 08-03-11, 10:54

Wow, I just visited that .net MLU and it is spooky, like stepping back into a recent past.
Look here for answers in the TAC HQ to recent troubles:
