Can you read this?
 
For some weird reason, I can't go to forums. Got here from "destinations", clicked on a random thread, then on the US.

Nothing is new at work computer program-wise, and I am not banned - can log in and see my profile. I don't know if anybody can help me, if yes, probably I will not be able to read this. So weird!

Oh, no, I think it's working!!!!

I am doing the happy Fodorite dance :))

Maybe my computer just extended the weekend?

Please don't reply, let the thread sink. It looks, I am fine now!

I'm having the same trouble. I normally use Opera but just can't access Fodor's with it at the moment, all I get is the heading, but no threads :(. So I am having to use IE grrr.

maria_so Feb 20th, 2008 09:18 AM

I was having the same issues last night (twice) and this morning too. I think fodors was having issues. i notice that sometimes then it will come back on...

dmlove Feb 20th, 2008 09:21 AM

I had the problem most of the day yesterday, but not today.

emcash Feb 20th, 2008 09:22 AM

same issues here- glad to know it's not my computer! :-)

starrs Feb 20th, 2008 09:31 AM

Katie started a thread. A lot of us are having the same problems.

FainaAgain Feb 20th, 2008 10:01 AM

Starrs, thank you, but... I wish I could've read her thread yesterday :)

At least I knew I am not banned as I didn't get the pop-up :))

LoveItaly Feb 20th, 2008 11:49 AM

Hi Faina, Katie started her thread today..it is in the Lounge. It is not your computer, it is some glitch at Fodor's and they are working on it.

goddesstogo Feb 20th, 2008 11:53 AM

And I thought it was me! I've been so lonely! :((

FainaAgain Feb 20th, 2008 11:56 AM

LoveItaly, as I couldn't see any posts, I didn't see her thread.

Goddess, naw, you're never alone! Misery loves company :))


goddesstogo Feb 20th, 2008 11:58 AM

hmmm...not sure how to take that, F. Which one of us is Misery? :-?

hetismij Feb 20th, 2008 11:59 AM

Loveitaly thankyou - I rarely visit the lounge.
This evening Fodors works in Opera and not In IE. Ah well, as long as it works somewhere!

maria_so Feb 20th, 2008 04:30 PM

yeah, having issues again tonight too! didn't see katie's thread either....

I can read it using firefox, with IE, nothing loads.

OO Feb 21st, 2008 03:57 AM

Oh...I get the ad, but that's all. Firefox blocks ads. Could the ads be the problem?

FainaAgain Feb 21st, 2008 08:19 AM

Goddess, I thin both. Addiction is not an easy thing to beat :))

Katie_H Feb 21st, 2008 09:30 AM

We don't believe it is ad-related. Has anyone tried deleting their Fodor's cookie---Orlando_Vic said that this solved the problem for him.

goddesstogo Feb 21st, 2008 09:47 AM

cookies are beyond my computer knowledge.

LoveItaly Feb 21st, 2008 10:08 AM

I couldn't access the threads for hours this morning. I could access the Fodor's website and the TALK, but when clicking on any of the boards the threads did not load on the left side of the screen. I did see the advertisemenets however.

I haven't deleted my cookies..but suddenly about 45 minutes ago the threads showed up.

Goddess, if you have IE..up on the top left hand side of your screen click on Tools. Then click on Internet Options. Then click on Delete under Browsing History. DO make sure you know your password for Fodor's before doing this however, as you will have to log back on to Fodor.


goddesstogo Feb 21st, 2008 10:11 AM

Um, what's IE?

FainaAgain Feb 21st, 2008 10:53 AM

IE = Internet Explorer

I delete the cookies once a year before Passover :))

janisj Feb 21st, 2008 11:06 AM

Using a pc / ie and a mac / safari -- I had the same problem off and on for about 36 hours. Seems to be fine today. Don't think it was a cookies thing since one time I got the dreaded server not available message and four other times had had been logged off.

From outside looking in it was like when a site is being tweaked or a new ad is loaded and the system goes up, up-ish, down - then OK for a while then suddenly - down again. And when you try to get back on - you need to log on again.

goddesstogo Feb 21st, 2008 11:07 AM

OK, I deleted cookies. I've never done this before! @-) Oh, lordy, now what will happen!

Katie_H Feb 21st, 2008 11:08 AM

We made some server changes this afternoon---are things loading faster for everybody?

janisj Feb 21st, 2008 11:09 AM

yes - mucho better :)

FainaAgain Feb 21st, 2008 12:35 PM

Yep.

Now let's go back to discussing important issues, like wearing black in New York :))
