    Great googley-moogley. Couldn't access STR around 10 a.m.'ish. Not a big deal. It's hit and miss but I notice the bottleneck happens early in the day. I've just learned to ctl-v the text or copy and paste any posts in Quickfox notes before I click "post quick reply". That way, if it hangs up or my post goes off into lah-lah land, I can just refresh my browser and repost. The other quirky thing that happens is I'll post a reply and it'll "appear" like nothing happened after clicking the button so I click the post button again and it ends up double-posting.

    Yep, happened again today.

    Seems pretty minor league for a site this size to have outages that predictable.

    YUP, it's pretty frustrating to say the least.

    look at it as an opportunity: to check out other sites, to actually work a little at your job, or to read something that doesn't have a monitor. maybe the universe is trying to tell you something ("Your epidermis is showing.").

    str appears to be dying a slow, apathetic death...

    Oh, I know. It's actually good for me, get's me out of the habit of just loitering here all day. Which is far too easy for me to do when chained to my desk.

    Anyway, I'm off for AZ for the weekend shortly anyway, so no more bitching from me!

    Thank God other people are having the same problems with STR. (Not that I'm glad to see anyone having problems with there computer but I thought it was just my computer.) I was about to trash it.

    Yeah, I've had it time out a few times in the morning. I thought it might of been my Spyware or my Antivirus blocking access for some reason.

    The most annoying though is that I've had it twice where I was trying to post an RR just to have it evaporate into thin air when I hit submit. So I just didn't resubmit one of them and the other I just left it real basic.

    I've also had it more than a few times where I would submit a reply just to have it look like it disapeared, so I would resubmit and get a double post.
    Actually, just look at the replies. Look at how many double posts there are.

    Have been noticing it too. Maybe the server is built off Arsenic, not sulfur. Time to upgrade ISP?
    Guess I better make an STR contribution.

    Sorry about that yesterday guys. Was on the server trying to figure out the morning slowdowns. Updated some software packages and obviously things didn't go super smooth. Hopefully it ends up helping out though...

    Hey, George. Do you run your own server from home? Dedicated computer? Just curious.
