What's up? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

HerenIstarion · 12-31-2000, 07:12 AM

Ron, what's wrong with the site? I can't open it

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 12-31-2000, 08:01 AM

Y2K!!!! It's here!!!

Actually, server crashed... fixed soon (I hope).

HerenIstarion · 12-31-2000, 08:10 AM

Yes, I see, it says:

Indeed it does. But it lies! The server is not working correctly and it has nothing to do with traffic. It's Y2K - II!

Re: What's up?

So that's why i couldn't connect, and i thought it was my faulty modem. Boy I can't wait until I have a T1 again, stupid 56k.

</p>

HerenIstarion · 01-02-2001, 04:48 AM

You call 56k stupid

? Maximum I can expect is 33.6 (usually goes for 31.2). No problem with the modem - the phone line is as old as my granny.

I have the EZboard bookmarked so I can come in that way, too, when the site is down... but when people refer to "the site" or "the Downs" here, Valkemen, they mean www.barrowdowns.com, the home of this forum.

I assume this is effecting the encyclopedia also?
I always come in through ezboard [which means i don't vote enough , but I am trying ].

Lindil is often found on posting on the New Silmarillion Canon Forum at the Barrowdowns discussion board. 'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.' </p>

Nor have I ever voted for it. In fact, I can't recall a place to do so. I've visited the 25 Hobbits site, but have never seen a place for voting.

My entry is also by bookmark.

How to Vote

In order to place your daily <img src=wink.gif ALT="

"> vote for the Downs, which is your favorite website, go to the Downs home page http://www.barrowdowns.comwww.barrowdowns.com</a>, then look for the Vote button on the left side of the screen, near the top. Once you click that button, a new window will pop up for the 25 Hobbits website. For your vote to count, you must then click ENTER. Voila! You have voted for the Downs! <img src=cool.gif ALT="8)">

25 Hobbits will accept a vote for any site once per day. So make it a daily habit!

<blockquote><font size=2>

"He was as noble and as fair in face as an elf-lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as a king of dwarves, and as kind as summer."</p>

-A Short Rest, The Hobbit</p></blockquote></p>

HerenIstarion · 01-19-2001, 03:07 PM

There is not even trouble of looking to the left upper corner left any more - appeal to vote pops up in the first place as soon as site opens completely

Re: How to Vote

I assure you it does not appear as soon as the site loads.

When bookmarked, no such thing happens.

However I will check out Red's instructions to see the results.

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 01-19-2001, 03:36 PM

I am plagued with an unreliable server and bad technical support. If only I could find a good NT host with admins who know what they are doing!

Re: How to Vote

I see the vote worked now.

Since I prefer to not go through several pages first just to get here; I'll retain the bookmark approach (I should note that the bookmark is to the discussion forums and not the main page, of which I SELDOM [read as: I think thrice maybe] visit; my bad I suppose).

</p>

HerenIstarion · 11-09-2002, 02:14 AM

Well, the question posed in the first post of the thread. I was not able to get to the main site (HTTP 500, server error), not only today, but yesterday too. Is it just me? I mean, if it's just me, I have to contact my proxy server admin, feat I would avoid if I could

Inziladun · 11-09-2002, 03:44 AM

After a long absence I found the same problem, so it isn't just you HI. It's been so long since my last visit I wondered if the site had sailed into the West....then I just tried going directly to the forum.

HerenIstarion · 11-09-2002, 04:43 AM

Hi, Inziladun, nice to see you. Where have you beed for so long?

Maikadilwen · 11-09-2002, 06:01 AM

It's definitely not just you, H-I. I could, however, access the main page and follow most links from that, but the Forum was down. *sniffle*
It's such a cruel world...

TolkienGurl · 11-09-2002, 11:02 AM

I couldn't get in here either! I thought it was just my computer messing up. I guess not.

Maikadilwen · 11-09-2002, 11:11 AM

Heh! I knew it wasn't my puter or my connection messing up, since Yahoo was working perfectly. And if Yahoo is working..... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Brinniel · 11-09-2002, 12:35 PM

Yesterday I couldn't get onto the forum until trying again late afternoon. Then I tried to get on last night and I couldn't even get onto the main page!
I'm glad it's not just me who was having problems.

Elenna · 11-09-2002, 12:38 PM

Well, I managed to get over the trauma of not being able to use the Internet yesterday. Maybe it was an overflow on the web - didn't that happen a couple of weeks ago?

And then, once it started working again, this site was down! What are you trying to do? Scare me into therapy?

Alkanoonion · 11-09-2002, 05:40 PM

I was also unable to enter the Downs, I thought it was because I had changed my home page and it was making my computer nuts. But I found other things to do, I just worked on my new web page called Bree under Bree-hill instead. Glade to see the site is working again. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Amanaduial the archer · 11-10-2002, 08:27 AM

yeah i mean i was getting desperate- I mean, i tried yahoo! And it worked! While barrowdowns wasnt! Oh for shame, for shame, I feel like such a traitor...

ok, ill shut up now.

Wierd how u occasionally find these really old threads.

HerenIstarion · 11-11-2002, 12:28 AM

So, I'm going to boast, Aman. It's not weird, I just happen to have very good memory, so I remember many of those oldies by name

HerenIstarion · 04-22-2004, 01:42 AM

Nothing is wrong with my access to the Downs,sure. To be honest, I'm bringing this up as a practical joke. Or, maybe as part of the "know your history" course. For I really enjoyed to reread the conversation where three out of five of our nowadays decorous government talk with what is somewhat less seriousness than is witnessed anywhere on the modern BD

Sirithheruwen · 05-23-2004, 12:26 PM

*giggles* I like this "Know Your History" course!
*rereads* Was that really Mr. B-W's posts?!?! And he complains about us...*shakes head*

I've visited the 25 Hobbits site, but have never seen a place for voting. My entry is also by bookmark.

Since I prefer to not go through several pages first just to get here; I'll retain the bookmark approach (I should note that the bookmark is to the discussion forums and not the main page, of which I SELDOM [read as: I think thrice maybe] visit; my bad I suppose). </p>

HerenIstarion Deadnight Chanter Join Date: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,301	Well, the question posed in the first post of the thread. I was not able to get to the main site (HTTP 500, server error), not only today, but yesterday too. Is it just me? I mean, if it's just me, I have to contact my proxy server admin, feat I would avoid if I could __________________ Egroeg Ihkhsal - Would you believe in the love at first sight? - Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time!

It's been so long since my last visit I wondered if the site had sailed into the West....then I just tried going directly to the forum. __________________ Music alone proves the existence of God.

Maybe it was an overflow on the web - didn't that happen a couple of weeks ago? And then, once it started working again, this site was down! What are you trying to do?

But I found other things to do, I just worked on my new web page called Bree under Bree-hill instead. Glade to see the site is working again.
