you might have to lower your security setting instead of turning it off

[Tim5055]

I don t think it s an AOL thing, I think it s more an internet addressing problem.



I use Verizon DSL and coupld not get to the site, but if I used the IP address I could get to popuptimes.com.



Very Strange.

Thanks Harv,

I moved the setting to low and it still will not let me post. I can read the pages but not post. [: (]

That s because I snuck in right before everything went crazy.Not long before that I was getting error messages when trying to access pages

Just had an e-mail from Sharon (SLTrawick) and she cannot access any of the PUT forums. Her e-mail address shows that her ISP is " comcast."



I ve been on the board off and on with no problems all day long, and dont understand why some of us have had no problems and at the same time, some of us cant get on at all or have to try and try. ???????????????

I couldn t get in today using the new message board address saved in my Favorites. I tried the old Favorites setting and I could successfully get to the PUT main page (instead of the message board). No AOL here (MSN).

Jo Ann...



Go to www.nimblewaresolutions.com and down load their " Banner Zapper" , they have a free trail, and believe me it works great and well worth the $9.99 to register it! I love it, and it doesn t interfere with most site s, and if it does, you can set it to allow banners and pop-up s at specified site s. Excellent program!

I ve been in and out of here several times today and have had no problems, if anything it seems to responding faster than normal.

Bruce, that s probably because there was NO ONE here but you and 4 or 5 others of us who could get in[;)]

I am chatting with Jeffrey and Gene right now....Neither of them can get on. They are getting page not found messages . Add Kelly to the list now too

[gnsmith]

NightOwl
I was locked out . I found It was due to my firewall. After turning off the firewall I have had no problem.

[gr8grandpa]

NightOwl
This is the second time that I have been on today. I still have the old site in favorites and I use that. I have never had any trouble getting on.

[NCSunshine]

NightOwl
I couldn t get in either.



" Server not found or DNS error"



Left it alone and signed on just now with no problem.

[gr8grandpa]

NightOwl
Right after posting I got kicked out and just now got back on. The first trouble that I have had.

[wiininkwe]

I bookmarked the new forum, and was able to get here several times with no problem. Just now, I clicked on the Forum link in my Favorites and got an error message saying I could not access the site because either cookies or Javascript were disabled (which they aren t). So I went back to Favorites and clicked on the link for the PUT main page. It opened with no problem. Then I clicked the message board link from the main page and here I am!



Not sure what the problem is, but I think it s all magic anyway! LOL!!

[cyclone]

No problems (yet)....using DSL. However, I am still using the link in " My Faves" which leads to the home page, then coming here. If I can t get here next time I try, I ll probably be in detox or something once they finish treating me for withdrawal.

Unfortunately, we have AOL and have had a bunch of problems getting on. I keep getting error messages and then it locks me out completely. Have to sign off AOL and get back on. What a pain. I have an old computer so of course it takes forever. Hopefully, things resolve themselves. I was getting grumpy cause I couldn t get my PUT fix.

May I please clarify that noone has been " locked out" .

There are some general connectivity issues between the internet and our

hosting provider and we are as on top of it as we can be.

From our host:



" Yesterday afternoon, there was a DNS issue affecting the nameserve.net name servers, as the host registration was mistakenly changed by network solutions. We have resolved the issue with network solutions, and the DNS for your domains seems to be resolving properly now.



It may take a few hours for the caching name servers on the internet to be updated with the correct DNS configuration again, so please check in a few hours, if you are having any problems reaching any domains hosted by the nameserve.net DNS servers. We apologize for any inconvenience or downtime this has caused for your domains, and we hope the issue will be completely resolved within a few hours."

Sounds more like Dave gave Steve the night off. Remember how when ever Dave gave Steve timeoff on the old boards we were down every time? [:D] Or else IMO Steve try to work on the board hungover.[:o][:D]





Honestly Steve I believe you, really I do, Yup I believe it was the ISP, sure I do, honestly I do believe you.[:D]

I couldn t get on at all yesterday......I use aol....so glad to see it working.....Good Morning everyone!

[birol]

Could it be thet the firewall is blocking the " referrer" thingie ? I had the same problem and had tell Norton Firewall to let that referrer thingie work for www.popuptimes.com.



Might be the same thing ?

Steve, please accept my apologies for the poor choice of words accompanying my good intentions: " shut out" and " locked out" I DID NOT MEAN TO IMPLY that this was some sort of " voluntary act" on your part or Dave s, or caused by neglect on your part, but used the words loosely simply to indicate that people could not access the site.



I think everyone here knows how diligent you are about seeing that things run as smoothly as possible (within YOUR power) and that our needs are always tended to with dedication by OUR WEBMASTER![:)][:)][:)]

I had a similar problem, but seemed to be the opposite. Last night when I tried getting in using IE via signing on my cable modem I could NOT access the boards, however when I went thru my AOL web browswer I could get in, infact I posted a reply last night but it s not here. I use aol s back door w/ bring my own access (ISP) so it seems liek it was opposite for me from the problems others had.



Yes, I am still here [:D][:D] Like I told dh, even though I don t really post here anymore I still read and lurk [:)] So for that I pd my $30. Plus in all honestly this board HELPED out TONS when we were newbies and I feel I owe it to Dave to subscribe, my way of paying back Dave for him having the old free board up and everyone helping in answering my dumb questions back then, but most of all, you all are some of the nicest ppl I ve known/met, I just can t stay away [:)] so I ll still be here lurking [:)]

[NightOwl]

NCSunshine
Linda, you bring back memories of my early days here and my many questions about getting back into popping up, always answered with kindness and humor. It is VERY GOOD to see you here again--there is just no place like PUT!!

[GeneF]

Got home this afternoon and no problems getting back in.



Thanks to all of you that tried to help me get in yesterday.[:)]

I ve been having trouble signing on for days now too, regardless of which method I use to sign in. So finally I got around to really reading the different error messages and saw Problem #2 talks about bookmarking a page with an invalid session ID. I have several different bookmarks for this site and have had trouble with all of them. Today I simply went to popuptimes.com and had no trouble reaching the main page. So for now, that s the way I ll get here. Glad to be back.

Al Parker (TopCat) phoned me a few minutes ago to say that he and Toni (Wiininkwe) and several others are " locked out" of the PUT sites entirely. After talking with him--he and Toni are both on AOL,--we decided that probably the lockout has come as a result of some kind of sudden incompatibility between their AOL settings and our PUT server. Al had already been in touch with Steve who is looking into it. (Hmmm...I THOUGHT things here looked pretty slow, even for a Sunday)



So if you have any friends who cannot get on, tell them not to freak out, but to be patient and keep trying. I KNOW that Steve and Dave will not let them be locked out in the cold a second longer than necessary[:)]



I have not had a single second of trouble getting in--use IE AND MY TRUSTY MAC POWERBOOK with OSX !![:@][:)][8D][:D]
