in Head and Neck Cancer #1
I am having a time getting on CSN discussion board lately. The last few days I was not able to access it from my home or from my work computer. It's running VERY slow and just keeps saying "page not available"

On the few attempts I did get in, it booted me off shortly thereafter.

Just wanted to make a comment thread so maybe the admin would know of my difficulty and anyone else.

Thanks,

Tim

    This site has been a pain
    in the keester for 3 days. I've lost so many posts, and that's when I can finally get into the board...it's not working very well AT ALL lately.

    Noticed that...
    Hope they take note Tim. Thanks for posting. I was thinking it was my computer...but realized I could access other sites, just not this one. It's kicking me out and I'm losing my posts and having to retype. Let's hope they become aware of it and it's an easy fix.

    Tim,
    They (CSN) are aware of
    Tim,

    They (CSN) are aware of the problems. Sometimes when I am having trouble I type in TIM6003 into my search engine and pick a link to get in. I still have to login, but at least I by passed all the pages getting to the H&N forum (I also cross my fingers and toes)

    I also saved a link directly to the H&N forum which takes me to the current (today’s date) page, still I have to login. Funny thing is sometimes when I go in the back way it says I am already login, go figure.

    Matt

    It still doesn’t help thee speed any.

    i am
    i am having the same problems, getting in and loosing posts.

    so what i have been doing is copying the post i have typed out and save it in some note page. then i hit the post comment. that way if it does not work i do not have to retype

    it's not fun but at least it will minimize how much rework i have to do

    yup. my historical record is that I lose maybe 10% of my posts. Like you, i put long ones on the clipboard so when they go "blooey" I have a copy.

    Yes, same as Tim. The wait to get on is long and some times I never make it on.

    It's Just You...
    Tim, it must just be you..., for the last few days every time I log on, it's like blazing fast....

    Other than the many times, that it times out, gives me a forbidden, or refused message, LOL.

    I sent Greta a text earlier and let her know also...

    the server sucks
    it's been bad ever since I started hanging out around here, but the past two days have been even worse than usual.
    normally it's just sloooow, or it deals 'server rejected connection' errors, or it causes double-postings...today it's been almost unusable.

    I mostly use chrome, but same results with firefox.

    I have noticed to, it was just happening again very slow today. The last couple of days all I get is a blank screen or it goes to AOL search not found. It's very frustrating

    Time Of Day?
    It seems bad throughout most of the day. But I'm usually up to midnight PST. At that late hour, it seems to run Okay. Rick.

    Slow
    It's a test in patience. Mike, this frustration will certainly test out the new anti-depressant for you. My lorazepam worked with the cancer but it's not holding up to being repeatedly thrown off this site.

    Same here
    I was going to ask this same question. When I try and go to the discussion page I get an error message saying that I'm not connected to the Internet or the page just keeps trying to connect. Funny tho, I can get on anther site just fine. So frustrating,
    Glad it's not just me.

    Like Mentioned....They Are Aware...
    Not sure exactly what this problem is, but they are working on it...

    I beleve there is an upgrade in the works that should solve a lot of problems also. This should be in a few weeks or so..

    hmm, apparently they are hosting with Liquid Web in Lansing, MI.
    speedy this morning, but then I'm just a few hops away in NW Ohio. ;-)
