Access problems

[satansaloser2005]

Hey all. Finally, I found a way to actually post!

First of all, Lommie, thank you SO much for putting that link on the photo page. I was clicking on random stuff and ended up there, where I saw your post. You're my hero.

Since I couldn't get on the site (at all, in any form) until now, I got frustrated and tried to e-mail the Barrow Wight, because I saw that some other people had managed to post, so I thought maybe it was something with my Internet or, you know, something weird like that. My e-mail got bounced back to me.

That's about all, since I've been basically having the same problems as everyone else. Wow. I hope it gets fixed soon. :O


Oh, and for Legate. I'm logged in (obviously) but at the top of the page it doesn't say "welcome" or anything. It asks for my username and password. Anyone else getting that?

That's what it does to me, but only on the original, forum.barrowdowns.com page, the one which should be the "normal" Downs, but when doing anything there, it posts error messages. So it looks you have it the same as Oddwen. This way it looks like we don't have just two different forums, with three ways they are displayed, but also different individual ways of how us being logged on is displayed. Which I don't like at all

Ha ha. The Downs is schizo now.

I think we should seriously consider if #69 is the evil alternate universe.

Imagine Sauron the White complaining about the movies and William Cloud Hickli lambasting the Estate, etc etc. We could have Mithadan espousing the ideas of Michael Martinez. Thenamir taking that other political road.

Things posted before 6th of March (on the IP address Downs) show up on all versions of the forum, I think. However, the newest registered members seem to be different on the IP version than on the usual Downs & barrowdowns.com (the newest ones being shown there).

Also, I've heard of things like a rep given on one version not showing on another... I have no idea about PMs, but I suppose it's the same with them.

I don't know if we should somewhat decide which version to use? It's a bit strange to open two different Downs' in order to see the replies the threads have got. I'd suggest the barrowdowns.com one - things posted there show up on the normal Downs main page though one cannot access them from there.

This is so depressing.

This is so cool!

I'm so addicted to the Downs that this can very well be my greatest adventure so far!

But, hey, have a happy women's day, everybody!

Yeah, I'm getting that too. I'm logged in that version of the site because I can see my User CP (the only thing I can get to along with Who's Online), but the main page still has the log in box as though I never logged in.

It's just a big mess.

I don't think that countries or continents matter because while I'm American, I'm currently in the Nederland. And I've noticed members from all over managing to post on the normal forum.

I can get to the main page and the User CP, but the private forums still show up and I still can't access any threads...which is quite frustrating since I want to see what others have posted.

I do hope this problem gets cleared up soon...I've never felt so confused. For now, I'll just follow the advice and save my recent posts and PMs..

We have a day???

Nogrod -- yes, you're right - people should copy their posts (well, people who post worthwhile things, unilke me). However, it occurs to me that the #69 page might *not* disappear, in which case, we should look on the bright side -- the LJ downer community (and a few people connected with it) has gained its own private website.

Well I have changed (and synchronised) my sig to reflect the fact I am using both versions as my whimsy takes me

[Thinlómien]

I agree that we should use just one site and using the barrowodwns.com one sems more plausible. Nevertheless, I'll be checking this one as well... And unlike so many, I'm not enjoying this situation at all... I feel a bit lost and because I refrain from posting on the 'downs because of this problem, I have nothing to do anymore...

[ArathornJax]

Well, back up your posts . . . as mine are disappearing.

I'm feeling like the Def Leopard song "Foolin" at least this part:

"I realized that I'M ALL ALONE (caps I added) . . .
Is anybody out there, anybody there
Does anybody wonder, anybody care
Oh, I just gotta know
If your really there and you really care"

So this is a test to see if this post sticks, and I hope this gets resolved and we get some communication to acknowledge someone knows the error even if they don't have time to resolve it . . .
