Problems accessing the Moot - Page 5

sisterandcousinandaunt · 09-28-2008, 12:01 AM

I was locked out all afternoon and evening. My computer kept trying to download my post as some sort of picture file.

Willow Oran · 09-28-2008, 12:09 AM

That happened to me too. Everytime I tried to access the site my computer tried to treat it as a file to download and save.

BeardofPants · 09-28-2008, 02:22 AM

Same here.

***Varnafindë*** · 09-28-2008, 02:33 AM

And the same happened to me last night - even on my mobile phone, when I tried that instead.
It did the same right now when I started the computer this morning. When I saw that the mobile was working fine, I tried clearing the cache and the cookies - and here I am.

***Earniel*** · 09-28-2008, 03:44 AM

Gah, I didn't realise it was the site doing it, I kept cursing at my computer that has been playing up the last few days. Here I was sure it was another of his tricks.

Seems to be fixed now, though.

Happened to me too last night. I even thought the entire forum was down forever because at one point I got a message that the the website had expired!

I'm secretely glad you all had the same problem

shesabrandybuck · 09-28-2008, 10:25 AM

Same goes for me. I had to IM Katya to see if it wasnt just me....

Same exact thing happened to me just now. Yesterday neither worked but just now the phone worked and the computer didn't so I restarted firefox and now it works.

When next time rolls around for maintanence on the site, would it be ok if a warning would posted to warn us regular mooters?

***Earniel*** · 12-20-2008, 12:04 PM

Oh, was there any maintenance done today?

Kinda hard to warn the other mooters if I don't know myself.

If there was maintenance, even I didn't know about it

Dear Admins,

Please send (send again?) a confirmtion E-mail to Legate of Amon Lanc who has just registered. He never got one and cannot post.

Thanks in advance,
Gordis

***Earniel*** · 02-24-2009, 09:16 AM

Could you please PM me his email, Gordis? And I'll have a look if I can find how to send out confirmation mails, never done so before.

BeardofPants · 02-24-2009, 12:32 PM

You can just change his status to a registered user in the admin cp.

***Earniel*** · 02-24-2009, 05:43 PM

I've thought about that, but I thought I'd first check the email address to see if that might have been what ate the confirmation mail.

Gordis · 02-25-2009, 02:05 AM

Thank you, Earniel and BP.
Once I learn his E-mail myself, I will PM it to Earniel. For the moment I can only use PM at another forum to get in touch with Legate.
