Anybody else have trouble getting into DU tonight?

[Haole Girl]

That was weird.

1. I hadn't been able to get in all day. I'm now in via a proxy.

2. Ummm... yeeeeaaahhh... ;)

I could give you a link to the thread, but as I'm on a free proxy server through Canada just to get here and post, the link probably wouldn't do you any good.

So, go to GD and look for the thread with this title:

FYI: Some people have been experiencing difficulty connecting to the site.

[Haole Girl]

3. Thanks. I looked, but missed it.

Everything ok with your gf in NZ?

[kentauros]

4. Yes, finally!

Thanks for remembering, too :)
I had posted a new update to the thread, but it sank again. That is, she's ready to move out of Christchurch on her Wednesday, which should be about five hours from now. I haven't talked by anything but txts, so it's all been short and sweet. Her cat came home at some point, but I didn't get any details. We'll probably Skype once she gets settled somewhere in Whangamata on the north island.

5. I'm glad

And glad her cat came home, too! :-)

[kentauros]

6. Same here!

I know she'll be very happy to leave Chch, not just because of the earthquakes. She's into the spiritual stuff even more than I am, and never liked the vibe there. She only ended up there when she couldn't find a place in Nelson, which is on the north shores of the south island, to the west, I think. Whangamata is on the "Bay of Plenty" so I hope she finds 'plenty' :D

I'm off to bed. I hope your connection remains good and the rest of us get proper connections soon ;)

7. Good night...

I'm about to turn in as well. :hi:

I tried several times on two differnt machines. I was finally able to log on around 10pm

9. Couldn't even get into DU by using the google.com search door until about a half-hour ago.

Kept getting a message to the effect that there was no such website as Democratic Underground!

19. Skinner's explanation from earlier today. Many suggestions thru-out the thread.

10. I can only come in through a proxy server

is anybody able to just get in normally yet?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. No problems for me, at any time, during this situation...nt

12. It was down all last night for me. It could have been the site or a

connecting server along the way.
It does happen to any site from time to time and may last til the next day or something. Actually there was another yesterday and it said too full at the moment, but half hour later I did access that site.
It's like phone lines being busy sometimes, it does happen.

21. I found the whole opening process of the computer slow today, not just the DU.
