Where Did Everyone Go?
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 01:48 pm     This thread is for those of us who come to the board to read all the new posts, and find that there aren't any, even after refreshing over a period of time. And for my question, posted already in the Quick Question thread, but not answered: For a couple of days, I'm getting "Page Not Found" when clicking on threads, or archives, or whatever. I always get to said pages after clicking the back button and trying for a second time. Is there a board problem, or should I be checking with my server or blaming my computer? Thanks for responding, anyone, and by the way, where did everyone go?  |
Zachsmom | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 01:53 pm     I'm here! The times that you see the "page not found" is it at a busy time for the board? That's when I notice it happening. When people use the "New Message" feature and then we also have everyone refreshing every 10 seconds, causes the board to get a bit wiggy. |
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 01:58 pm     Hi, Zachsmom! Thanks for answering! No, that's the funny thing, it isn't happening when it's busy, and it's sporadic, but has been going on for a couple of days, so I'm at a loss to explain it. When it's busy here, it just takes forever to load for me, such as during the eviction night shows, but I don't get the 'page not found' thing. I guess I'm just hoping that someone will know if it's the board or my server, or computer, so I can at least stop worrying about it, LOL! |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 01:59 pm     If you go to the main BB discussions page: ../10972/1082599.html"-2">Found and repaired. Thanks. Mod (22) |
Weinermr | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 01:59 pm     I'm here part of the time too, but not paying a lot of attention. BB4 has gotten a little slow for me, although I enjoyed the other night when Jun was whisked out of the House and the HG's had to figure all that out. Yes Bernie, I've been getting more than the normal share of File Locking errors lately, but like you, if I hit the back button and try again, it always gets me where I want to go. (on here LOL) |
Snogrl | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:02 pm     Beruthiel, the same thing has been happening to me (page not found, etc.). I'm sort of relieved I'm not the only one. At least it's probably not our computers. |
Laluna | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:04 pm     Same thing happens to me. I'll get the page on the 2nd attempt. |
Zachsmom | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:04 pm     Shall we have a contests to name where the "missing pages" went?! |
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:06 pm     Thanks Sanfran and Weinermr, and it just happened again! I saw the new posts, clicked on the thread, and got page not found, went back, and second time lucky. It's not really a big deal, just causes one to take longer to do anything, but, if it's my computer then I could address the problem. I guess glitches are always with us, and maybe this can be a 'problem' thread! [I agree re things not being as gripping lately, Weinermr, I'm not as fanatical about catching up as I used to be!] |
Weinermr | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:07 pm     Zmom, they're probably in the sequester house. |
Laluna | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:09 pm     How about locked away in the desert room? |
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:09 pm     LOL! Zachsmom, they've all been evicted to the Sequester House! :-D Thanks Snogrl and Laluna - then it must be the board and not us, so we can all breathe a big sigh of relief! Phew! |
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:11 pm     Great minds think alike, Weinermr,  |
Bonzacat | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:18 pm     As to where everyone has gone... Holiday picnic? Napping as the HG nap? It's that Saturday afternoon doldrum and I believe it will pick up as soon as someone else finds another sleuth mission that rivals "Josh BB1 & Erika BB4"!  |
Delilah | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:23 pm     I am here but lurking, nothing much to write about, it is a lot more interesting to read everyone elses posts. I can't believe people are finding something to actually write about but hey.... I have become so bored with the feeds, I actually am enjoying watching the show a lot more than the feeds, a first for me! |
Beruthiel | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 02:30 pm     Good suggestions, Bonzacat, and very likely right on the nose! It was just that earlier, the sudden silence was deafening-one minute new posts here, there, and everywhere, then, a dead board. To be considerate, and not leave anyone in the lurch, I'm saying that I'm leaving myself now, to do weekend things, and won't be back until later today, or maybe not until tomorrow, if real life is more interesting! Thanks everyone for being such good company!  |
Bonzacat | Saturday, August 30, 2003 - 11:43 pm     I hope you had a wonderful afternoon and evening, Beruthiel!  |
Beruthiel | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 02:58 am     Thank you Bonzacat, I did! And I hope that you did too!  |
Fabnsab | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 04:48 am     I am finally back full time! Just got back from Germany. It is great to be home! I was so looking forward to coming back to get my feeds and all the dish- just to find out that there isn't any! Unfortunately, I just read an article in Entertainment Weekly that states this year is a ratings jackpot for BB4. They win the 18-34 demo every night they're on. I just hope there won't be any more ex factor in the future. |
Beruthiel | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 05:14 am     Welcome back, Fabnsab! Hope you had a good trip, and sorry that there's not a lot going on, LOL! I've just been creeping around in the dark, catching up, myself. Goodnight! :-) |
Bonzacat | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 04:12 pm     Yes I did, Beruthiel, and thanks! :-) |
Fabnsab | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 08:08 pm     . |
Fabnsab | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 08:08 pm     Thanks, Beruthiel! It's great to be back but being in Europe for a long stint makes one realize how spoiled we really are in this country. Everything there is about conservation. It was enlightening. |
Beruthiel | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 10:58 pm     It is a bit of a culture shock. I come from over there, and it was very strange to me at first, how everything was disposable here. In England we never threw things out, everything was always re-used, and no one thought twice about buying things second hand. It's interesting that it's happening more here nowadays, with recycling, garage sales, and flea markets, not to mention consignment shops! If you mean conservation of land, flora, and fauna, that's because there are limited resources compared to over here, and a longer history so that there are more people and less to go around, so things need to be carefully managed. I guess we should always remember that we have it really good in North America, and that things we complain about seem very minuscule, compared to what other people in the world have to deal with! [PS. I'm a bit jealous because I haven't been back for quite a while, but I'm glad I didn't have to deal with the heatwave over there this summer! Sounds as though things were pretty tough all over the continent.] |
