    loads! but thats it just letting up now for me.
  • RedRed
    Yes, I've had a message saying there is a server problem
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    It's running your comments together - if you post after a post of yours, it's showing only one post.
  • CarolCarol
    Whispered discussions have disappeared too.
  • CarolCarol
    Whispered discussions are now back.
    Thanks.
  • dorothyddorothyd
    missed this so much it hurt.
  • forget-me-notforget-me-not
    yeah, really missed this over the weekend. Dont I look stupid now, saying the problem was letting up ten minutes before the site was put down.
  • PiperPiper
    Yeah, I really missed it. Knew it would be up today though.
  • JennyJenny
    Thanks to the "techies" who sorted it out!
  • NutmegNutmeg
    well i thought perhaps it was down to fix the problems still occuring... obviously not as the bookmark thing is still a problem... good to be back tho
  • dorothyddorothyd
    thanks for restoring sanity by getting TB back, people, now can we have our icons and things, please? I need my rosette and the others need their awards, too!
  • ClaudiaClaudia
    And we've lost all our 'thank you's' too!

    Jon-
    Thread contributions are going missing again.
    Thread started by Woll 22- not in the best taste etc one, just before 6pm (Saturday) I posted and when I went back in a moment later there had been a number of other additions but mine had gone.
    I've lost a few this week on other threads.
  • JennyJenny
    That's happened to me a couple of times recently and I thought I'd done something wrong!
  • CarolCarol
    No Jenny, it's not you. Every so often this starts to happen then it stops. Usually we haven't realised until some hours later, but this time I was able to pinpoint when it occured. Don't know if it will be of any use to Jon though.

    Hi, Webbo/Jon.
    (I’ve sent you an e-mail, too.)

    One Word Challenge June 2009 - please remove 'sticky'.
    One Word Challenge July 2009 - please add 'sticky'.

    Thanks.
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Anyone get locked out of Talkback just now?
  • PiperPiper
    YES!!!!

    I thought it was that Friday all over again.

    I was prepared to cry my eyes out.
  • RedRed
    Yes, I had that too.

    Happened to me as well...I believe my thought was 'oh ffs :/'
  • PiperPiper
    Mine was 'No not again, I need tonight to relax...'

    Or something like that...
  • forget-me-notforget-me-not
    I've been having that on and off for the last few days.
  • PiperPiper
    Must be some glitches being sorted out, because that was the first time it happened to me...
  • NutmegNutmeg
    hasn't happened to me yet... but then again i didn't spend much time on TB today
  • CarolCarol
    I have been having an occasional problem when posting- I've clicked submit and it has taken ages, then I've got a page can't be displayed type message- I've clicked back and it returns to the thread with my message posted.
    It's done this at least four times since yesterday.
  • PiperPiper
    Oh it does that to me always. Because of my internet mainly.
  • NutmegNutmeg
    oh... it did that a few days ago...but only once... i think... i can't remember... anything before yesterday is cloudy :D
  • dorothyddorothyd
    not happened to me at all, I am surprised to find people have not been able to get on. Maybe I have been lucky.
  • dorothyddorothyd
    Is it certain areas which are being affected? I am all right but another TBer, not that far from me, is not able to get on.
  • forget-me-notforget-me-not
    Is everyone okay now? I am.
  • NutmegNutmeg
    well my bookmarks are still not recognising i have read them before and most of the non-bookmarked threads are still "unread" even tho i have read them... still really, really, really...annoying
  • Island GirlIsland Girl
    Webbo daaaaaaahling, could we (Dorothy, Jay, me and anyone else who has one) please have our little awardy looking things back again? Pretty please with a cherry on the top? http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/angel/pray.gif
  • cekaceka
    What are you on about?
    I expect He Who Knows All will understand, though.
    (Love the weeny angel!)
  • lexialexia
    Some people have awards and stuff ceka - those who did something special in the line of duty and all that . Dorothy had a rosette thing, but I cant remember what anyone else had. Guess you can make your own if needs be ? (or would that be against copyright , Jay ?? ;) )
  • dorothyddorothyd
    The rosette is because I was impersonated, without that against my name you cannot be sure it is the real me, Ceka ...
    there were awards for the nicest talkbacker, Jay had one, too, and we lost them all! Didnt Mutley have one as well?
  • PiperPiper
    I never knew Jay had one.....or maybe I can't remember. I knew Dorothy and IG had one. One of the first things I noticed after Down Weekend.

    Mine for was the 100,000th ??? post. It disappeared some time ago, and I was quite happy to revert to being an normal Talkbacker!
  • aeschylusaeschylus
    I happened to be in IKEA and there is a Mandal chest of drawers; so, whatever he is, Jay is not a normal talkbacker!
  • dorothyddorothyd
    I definitely agree with that!
  • PiperPiper
    I saw that as well a few months back too.

    I was thinking, must tell Jay, must tell Jay....


    I must have forgot.
  • PiperPiper
    Is TB playing up with anyone or is it just me?
  • dorothyddorothyd
    TB is playing up. I keep having to come out and go back in to get anywhere.
  • PiperPiper
    Oooh because my internet's been playing up in my room recently since I've got back so I thought it might be that.

    I keep having to refresh the page...
  • dorothyddorothyd
    Jon, still missing our little icons, dear one...
  • LizLiz
    Dear Jon, a number of us are wondering if it is possible to have all the threads anonymous from Google, with perhaps one where you can have Googled. A great number of us only post on the chat thread which means it skews the forum for newcomers and is inconvenient f you want to write about writing or comment on one of the writing threads but can't because it is Googleable.

    But in particular, I would very much like it if you could please remove my excited comments from the Bristol Poetry Festival thread so all that Google Bristol Poetry Festival can't read it... thanks!

    Liz
  • JanJan
    Morning oh worthy one of WarnersInternetDept.

    Dear Jon {or Webbo} or whomever holds short straw for the day,

    Jay {Mandal} has requested your attention be drawn to failure of links between threads on this site.

    It would be appreciated if you could please correct the means of access to one topic from its posted link in another thread.

    Thank you for your continued diligence.

    Jan.

    Dear Webbo

    Has the facility to edit our user names been removed forever?

    I wanted to tweak mine slightly and so did AN Other.

    Thank you...
  • dorothyddorothyd
    still hoping for our icons to be restored, Jon, where are you? On holiday?????
  • dorothyddorothyd
    anyone else had problems this evening? I had a white screen with text on it for an age.
