Board issues?

[Mike's Beard]

I gave this web address to 5 people at work yesterday and asked them to try access it from their home computers. All five this morning told me they instantly got on! Bastards! They all hate the Beach Boys and have no interest in this site whatsoever!! 

I seem to be having more joy on Google Chrome getting here but even thats no guarantee.

I would like to hear from any posters who have had little or no trouble getting on the board in the past month or so.  What's your secret guys?

[Mike's Beard]

Are you reading all of this, Chuck?!?

No he's not.

No secret - if I get a 404, I just refresh... and if that doesn't work, i go somewhere else for a few minutes. Longest I've been unable to connect is maybe six hours, but 99% of the time, straight on. I use Vista & Firefox, if that means anything.

[Mike's Beard]

Can I have your computer please?

For the past few weeks I can't get to the board at work any more. It's not being blocked there - it comes up as a DNS problem. Haven't had problems at home in a long, long time.

This must be fixed. Look what happened to the whiteboard. It used to be a fresh and living BB community, much as this one, but after several crashes it's the web equivalent to a ghost town now. Wouldn't want that to happen to SS.

This is the first time in about a week I've accessed the site from home.

[Mike's Beard]

Well put. When I do get on it's not nearly as busy as it used to be. The guy with the Columbo avatar seems to have vanished, I used to enjoy his posts. Same goes to Sherrif John Stone.

I haven't been able to get on for a month. Yesterday, trying for the umpteenth time to get on I accidently typed smileysmile.com - realizing my mistake I replaced the .com with .net and viola! I got on. This morning I typed in smileysmile.net and got the error message - I then thought 'try going to smileysmile.com and then replace the .com with .net and maybe, like yesterday, you'll be able to get on' - I did just that and it worked.

Coincidence? Maybe. But it got me on the site - if anyone is having trouble getting on I recommend trying this - then again, if you are reading this post you are obviously not having problems lol.

I am so glad I found this forum about the error....I was about to buy a router/netbook thinking my computer was at fault (yes, I'd go through that just to read/post on this great site lol).

I hope the problem gets solved soon.

Weird. I had written off the SSNet board, to be honest. Because countless attempts and refresh actions and prayers and suicide attempts did not work. However, today is my lucky day, or so it seems. I am projecting my next successful login for, um, 2023, around the time the Smile-box will be released.

[Mike's Beard]

Here's a helpfull hint. After 20 or so unsuccessful attempts to access the site I screamed at my laptop "F**KING LET ME ON YOU BASTARD!" 'Lo and behold the next attempt instantly put me on the site. Hey, it worked for me!

I've been way too busy to do any posting for quite a while now, but whenever I had free time, I'd come check up here to see what was going on. Idk if I just have the worst timing in the world or if there were major problems, but every time I tried to check, I had an issue with it not loading. I'd refresh a few times and then leave when it didn't work, so I'm not sure how long it was down each time. But it's nice to be posting something for the first time since probably January, lol.

First time on for me in at least three weeks, or however long it has been since my last post. I try it once a day.

[The Heartical Don]

I was away since... eh, can't remember anymore. Could not get in for a month, or longer. Don't know why...

[TdHabib]

Just wanted to clarify that for whatever reason, I am posting on and viewing the site fine. And I appear to be the only one...

[hypehat]

All day yesterday the board was actually down - came up with some page like the domain hadn't been claimed or something..... What's going on?

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

There were domain name registration issues thanks to HostICan.  I will be switching to Network Solutions ASAP.  And my apologies for the interruption.

[Wirestone]

Yay! And anytime you need anything Chuck, to keep the board open or going or whatever -- let me know. Cause I couldn't handle the day of downtime!

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

A million bucks and a new web host would be cool.

[Emdeeh]

Whew! Glad to see this place back!

[Paulos]

Two days without the board and I felt lost, I think I have a problem! Now all is as it should be

Same here man. I felt weird and I couldn't even go to the European BB board because as an American, I felt awkward!

[Mike's Beard]

12 days without being able to get on! That must be my personal best (or worst!). For two days it just came up with a shot of some random chick and crap like how to get a Kokomo mp3?

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

Just so everyone knows, the smileysmile.net domain name is now being managed by Network Solutions.  I do not believe there should be any issues caused by that change in the short term, but if you see something odd, please be patient, and let me know what happened.  Hopefully, this change will solve some of the other board access issues people have been seeing.

I still have problems logging in. Most of the time, I get nothing but this message:

OK, thanks for that info Sloop JB, I hope Chuck can use it.
