I'm not being rude folks..

17 Replies

For the last few days I have been experiencing lots of connecting problems with this forum. Like many I have had the forum no longer exists, I am not a member, unlogging me, etc... you get the gyst. Today I am on, but I am still not being able to respond to others posts, though I can read many of them ( in between the site cutting me off). I am not being rude friends, I am trying to respond to your wonderful posts but the site isn't even letting me 'like' them let alone respond. Ironically I am seemingly able to respond to folk leaving a response on my posts!! Well, at the minute I am, if I log off heaven knows what I'll be able to do / not do if I try to log back on. Frustrated isn't the word!!

So, apologies for appearing to ignore fellow posters - it really is beyond my control at the minute.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend. Wishing you all well with your challenges. ☺️

😤😫😰😭

Same here site tells me I'm not a member and can't view posts or respond. Just about managed to get on it this morning

It's weird isn't it? I am logging in 'through the back door' so to speak, even that is a little hit and miss. Also can't understand how I can reply to my own posts responses but not other peoples posts. I am going to keep trying though. 😊

Hi Shellie, likewise, but you seem to have it even worse 😡

Would be nice to get an 'official' notification about these problems.

Hope it doesn't carry on for too long as it's really disrupting

in reply toElissy

It is a bit irritating isn't it. Hopefully it is just a glitch. 😕

Don't worry! Get back to us when you can-- if the system lets you, that is. Can't wait to hear from you.

Weekend so far is okay, but tons of rain out here near me. The sky here is very cloudy and gloomy looking. Have you ever read a horror story by Stephen King? If you have, you'll understand what I mean!

in reply toActivity2004

It has been many years since reading a Stephen King novel, but yes, I do know what you mean, lol. Weather still fine at the minute here. My weekend has been a little full on even though I have not been working, I have a friend going through some issues and who suffers from depression, as much as I am trying to be of support, I am feeling totally drained myself. Hey ho 😊

I know how that can be when you have to help a friend. It seems like I do that all the time-- even now. I have to call my friend soon, but not yet because I know he's working right now. There's a lot of stuff I need to tell him when I do get in touch.

I,ve had problems too

in reply togillyflower88

Frustrating isn't it. Think admin should be posting something about what seems to be the problem. 😬

Hi Shellie,

I fully understand your frustration, I posted about it on Friday "persona non grata". I had hoped it would be sorted out by now, but no such luck!

I agree with Elissy, why hasn't someone official explained and given us some idea of how long it's going to continue for.

I can see a lot of us going off the rails this week without our support network.

Fingers crossed it gets sorted very soon, in the meantime, I think we'll have to take it as read that no response probably means problems with the site and not something more sinister :)

It seems to be getting worse, at first I just had the problems getting onto the site, then I started with problems reading and writing posts, now I can read posts but can't respond, only my own. Even this has just played up as I have just responded to Portlandprincess and submitted it, but heaven knows where it has gone!! Wrote another response to her and it posted fine. I am also getting random posts popping up from over a year ago instead of recent posts.

Hey ho, these things are sent to try us, as the saying goes. 😫😊

Its not personal - its just bandwidth!

in reply toandrewleeone

Still frustrating Andrew, lol. This house has 4 I pads, 2 main frames and 5 laptops, usually around 5 running together, which is why I have the most advanced and reliable connection available to my area ( my son is a computer technician). He reckons it is just glitches on the forum itself and I just have to be patient ( not something I am reknowned for 😬) Said son thinks my daughter and myself assume that our computers are miracle workers ( we also apparently think he is when we have cocked them up - which is often in my case). He visibly pales if we even glance at his computer!!!! He has a 'don't even think about' sign on his IPad and Laptop.

I remember him ordering some raspberries once offline and said I would just pick some up when I went shopping, he nearly expired from laughing so much ( yes I know what a raspberry is now, he uses them to make some snazzy little things).

So barely constrained patience it is........ 😕

Sorry - I meant the forum's bandwidth not yours! :-)

Raspberries make a nice Pie I hear!

in reply toandrewleeone

Yeah, that's what I thought too, lol. Not the ones my son buys though, hehehe.

Have a super week Andrew 😊

I get similar problems especially with popular threads like the Monday weigh in and more so if I'm using the I-pad.

in reply toCarolee13

I only use my IPad, so much easier ( and less likely for me to cock-up). Much to my computer technician sons disgust, technology is a bit of a mystery to me. 😊
