Is any body else upset?
 

I understand that the editors are aware and working on the problem most people are having posting and submitting comments, But does anyone know when the problem will be fixed and what the problem is?

it apparently isn't 'most people' since lots of responses are being submitted. They do know about it and per the Help Forum are working on it. Even tech support probably doesn't know how long it will take . . .

I guess that's THE answer then, isn't it? because a whole bunch of people (and mostly the same ones) are posting then there couldn't possibly be "that many" who are affected.

I'm not upset.

It's a forum. You get what you pay for. ;)

Seriously, I think they are getting ready to move us to a new platform and there are glitches as they run tests. That's normal. They can run tests on production sites but at some point they have to go live.

There are a few dozen people reporting problems but that's far from a majority of users. What would you prefer - shutting down the entire forum for a few days/weeks? I suppose that's always an option but not the norm.

I know what I'd prefer: that these discussions be confined to the Help Forum, where they belong.

There are a lot of things to be be upset about in life. This is not one of them. This site could go dark tomorrow and my life would continue with little impact.

Why on earth do you think that posters know when a technical problem is going to be fixed? And why post here as well as on the Help Forum, which is where this belongs?

FMPDEN: Well said!!!

Maybe because no one reads the Help Forum.

The people in charge of actually fixing this problem DO read the Help Forum, just go take a look.

Nanabee, don't listen to the numpkins who tell you there are more important things in life to get upset about. You've been a participant in this community for many years and have every good reason to be frustrated. We were told in June that big changes were coming in a few weeks. We are well into November with only continued glitches and no explanation.

I hear the stamping of little feet.

.....You've been a participant in this community for many years and have every good reason to be frustrated.....

Why???? It is just a travel discussion web site. One of many. I have been here a year longer than Nanabee and am not particularly frustrated by this site. It is what it is. If the site goes dark tomorrow, I will move on to another site. If this site is that important to your life, I truly feel sorry for you.

I agree with Starrs, it's a free website, I think getting upset is getting too involved in an internet forum. I suspect it does have something to do with them migrating to a new system. And personally, I haven't had a single problem posting on any computer I have or any OS. I can use my work computer or my home computer, Chrome or Mozilla, never had a single problem and I've posted at least several responses in the last few days, probably 5-10. So I guess it would be hard for me to get upset about something I don't experience.

No

This is so infuriating. Why did that work?

Anyway, as others have said- free forum. Doesn’t really matter. The mystery is driving me craaaaaazy though.

I'm upset! I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore... (with apologies to "Network".)

Try looking at from the side of those who can't reply. You might feel and think differently as it is frustrating to not reply and have a voice. Sometimes replying works and sometimes it doesn't.

Frustrating yes. Upset no. But then again I can post ;-)

I'm pretty darn sure it has something to do with the upgrade to the new format that they've been working on, wouldn't you think?
