Since the shutdown move…

[Greg Baehman]

…this site has been slowed down in all areas for me. How’s it been for you?

[William Woods]

I m getting timed out fairly quickly. Trying to enlarge some pictures turns the page dark. Sometimes the picture comes up, sometimes I get an error notification. Sometimes I can click on the reload button and the picture comes up, other times I have to log in again.

I just had an issue trying to respond to this thread. I received a server not found error. After I refreshed it came up fine. I am however having to login every day.
I know that’s been an issue in the past. It’s not a big issue, just an annoyance.

[John Dunkle]

Yes, I'm getting the same thing.... And....

Part of it is on my end - as I make changes to set the back end systems... But, that's increasingly less frequent. The BIGGEST problem is that this ISP still has some issues with this circuit - for example, not configuring the network to allow my mail servers and backend systems to work properly... They've been "working on it" for over several weeks - WITHOUT resolution.

Frankly - I'm looking into another ISP altogether, for after working with this one for over the past decade - seem to be falling apart....

I'll keep you updated, OK?

John

Thanks for the update John.

[William Woods]

And once again, Thank you for all that you do to keep us moving Mr. John. We cannot thank you often enough.

Keep getting the "H'mm..site can't be reached" message when I try to reach site. Same thing for Fox site but no problem accessing sites like GI or YouTube. Strange......

Update:"Geek Squad" diagnosed it as an interference from an onboard desktop security site that defers/delays contact with certain sites - in this case 2 having to do with guns. Apparently security function targets heavily used sites to protect against hackers and ne'er do wells, timing them out of opening sites suspected as vulnerable.

Also revealing that certain Big Box electronic dealers' Wi Fi routers will allow ID of the site(s) but will not allow access under a "Weapons" type moniker. Is Big Brother now using AI ???

OF COURSE THEY ARE Kevin....

While others were having problems getting on the site after the shutdown my computer wasn't having any problem at all. Up until early this morning that is. Now it often times out while trying to find the site. Occasionally I get on the site, but after a reading a few posts when I click on another thread it does the same thing and I can't get back on. I thought it might be the Norton VPN but it still does it even if I pause it before trying to log in.

Hi Bob and all...

Yep - so sorry! I'm thinking this new circuit certainly has some "teething problems"... Some of the downtime is me, as I try to get the mail servers working (we are using a "hack" temporarily). Too - the ISP is still trying to configure the network upstream from here - and I'm playing along with trying various router settings....

Anyway - I'm about to throw some of this stuff through the office window..? But then - I'd end up having to fix that too....

;)

No problem, John. We appreciate your efforts. My issues might very well be on my side.

[Bob Brown]

Just thought I would mention another item. Even when I can get into and check out the forum posts I can't use the "click here" spot on the home page to go to paypal to renew my membership. When I try the error message is to many re directs. It allows me to go to the research letter link, but I need to renew my membership first.

BTW - all set, should be working for you if you refresh that page...

Best Always,

I usually fix computer issues with a 28oz Estwing scotch-head hammer. Easy peasy.

Thanks, John. I guess the hours I spent on the phone trying to explain network or computer problems to "James" or "Phil" with IT Support in India or Pakistan wasn't wasted after all, LOL.

Hahaha! Happen to have their number handy? Trying to NAT my public FQSMTP Server through my router - which only handles Port Fowarding, so the _dMarc and DKIM records don’t reconcile?

Thanks again, Bob!
