Default 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'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.

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

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

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? ..........

Default 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...

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 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

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

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.

Default 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)

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 ...

Default 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?

Still the same

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

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