Poof Again

07/20/2014 3:03 PM

I was going to try to document when CR4 goes away, but it's too often, and once it goes there's no way to tell how long it's going to be gone, that time.

Oh well. I'm getting more work done, so maybe it's a good thing.

Maybe it's time to rename it CR4SH. -- (Conference Room 4 Seldom Here.)

A wise person once told me;

"

I think the forum is:

1. Not ours.

2. Run quiet well by Admin.

3. Has changed in character, but is still more sociable than most.

4. Has more lame anonymous posters, because it is a forum of intelligent, mostly tolerant, members who indulge them.

"

.

Perhaps this is the solution to the voodoo love astrologer spam. It might be the cure to the comment time out, as that problem seems to not be occurring anymore. In any case, it is not my forum and admin has every right to run it as they see fit.

Gone again, and now back.

I don't have time for this. Bye.

The entire website is unavailable for hours, or at least tens of minutes at a time. All that comes up for me is a blank screen.

Same here, once I click on it the little screens down at the bottom of the monitor just flicker as if trying to communicate but can't get a signal.

If it helps Admin in trouble-shooting, sometimes when I try to connect to CR4 (either by responding to a thread update message, or directly) the modem lights flicker very slowly. No time-out or error message occurs, and refreshing does not help. No action or message occurs at all for a few minutes, so I just give up and go on to something else. This problem seems to occur only on CR4, not on other blogs I follow.

Thanks all for your patience... especially on weekends when there's not always someone available to restart the server. I know that the team is looking into the cause of the problem, but am not sure when it'll be fixed, because there are a lot of people on summer vacation right now.

It does seem like the 'too-quick time-out when composing comments' problem has been rectified, since I haven't experienced the problem in at least a week. This is very much appreciated.

I'm not sure exactly who to thank. Could you either point me in the right direction or convey my gratitude?

Maybe the cleaning people are unplugging the server so they can vacuum, lol.

Sounds reasonable to me that must mean that they have better hours then bankers since it is almost 10:00 AM that it comes back on. That means they must be getting there to work to find it not working and reset. But that might not be fair since I am eastern time they may be Pacific time which means they are earlier then bankers time. Oh well I digress the longer I type.

It's running very slick right now. Can you reveal the name of the hero/heroine who has done this ? Even if you can't, they seem to have done a very good job.
