Accessing MLU

[Grant Bowker]

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.

Who is hosting this site? Is it possible to move it to someone else like Go Daddy or some other Domian registering/hosting company to resolve the issues so that we can use the standard mapleleafup.org?

Strange thing is that I can get to that url from work but not from home, I thought the site was down until I tried from work.

I lost connection from both home and work earlier this week but just thought it was routine maintenance of some sort. After a few days of thinking it was down I decided to search to see if there was a real problem and learned of the alternate links that brought me back today.

This is certainly and issue that needs to be resolved to avoid losing loyal visitors.

Great site.

. . . I second that! . . .

I have not been able to get on using http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/ in a while now, I've been using the backdoor link that Geoff sent me way back when . . .

Yes, I suffer withdrawl too. On the other hand the value for a "no payment required" site, that is fully open to visitors is still incredible.
Thank you to all involved in keeping it going (in spite of the occasional issues).

I have had no trouble for a long time, and couldn't even tell which one I am using, but Geoff gave me four options; class-five.com, tortuga.dnsrouter.com, mapleleafup.org, and lastly www. mapleleafup.org
He told me to bookmark all of these links, and try them all starting with the mapleleaf ones first.
With no intent to discredit anyone else, he is missed

When I have trouble entering the front door and class five fails I can always get in on http://orbit.dnsrouter.com/~mlu/forums/index.php Geoff emailed this address to me when I was having trouble with the other logins. I don't think we will loose any loyal members and we have to remember that the sight is being kept up by voluntiers who also have to work for a liveing to support their own families. In my opinion we owe these men a debt of gratitude and with a little patients we will continue to enjoy MLU

All,

Thanks for your concerns, but, again, this is not a new problem. The ability to access the site differs from user to user. Work to solve it once and for all is in progress!

From now on, please only use these URLs to access the site:
- http://orbit.dnsrouter.com/~mlu/forums/
- http://www.mapleleafup.nl/

HTH,
Hanno
