Hi, sorry, I shouldn't have approved this post until I was in a position to respond, and I've been preoccupied all day.

Yes, we had a server problem yesterday, which was solved. I wasn't aware of the problem until we got some emails.

Please, if you do notice anything awry, let me know as soon as possible. We're not always on the site, so don't necessarily notice. To compound things, our ISP wasn't giving us access to the net for a fair bit yesterday, compounding the problem. the ISP (TPG) appears to be fine at the moment.

Thanks Graham, you just popped up.

I guess this makes the below a bit obsolete.

<Too much me-too-ism going around, obviously a glitch with the OLO server (Forrest, what ya think?)

At first I thought I had somehow upset OLO or a poster - never been banned before and didn't know how they would block me from posting, or even bouncing my url. Bygeesus, I even contacted my ISP and asked them why I couldn't access OLO when I was ok everywhere else. Their response - they haven't banned you have they? Anyway, I think someone from OLO should explain (in simple terms) what happened.

As for the post I was itching to comment on - I guess counting to ten helps, I've moderated my thoughts and now think maybe I should just watch a few other comments before committing my two cents.>

ok ITS BACK
seems to be on a delay of over 10 minutes
seems the trick is to just wait till the page comes up

clearly it is machinations of parties that dont hold that we have the right to speak ,or servers serving band width to their own favoured party[ who was the clever guy that came up with high definition downloading chewing through the bandwidth

anyhow welcome back to the nineties
everything used to work at this speed

guess its time we got used to it again[so much for computers doubling or trippling [or whatever the heck they are claiming the computer industry achieves]seemingly anything but delivery

this enron[esq] charging of downloads is the root cause for these restriction;s [and murdoch with his bandwidth commands upon govt ]

anyhow
be patient[they can us slowdown, but cant stop our posting]
just save before you post it
then get used to it

welcome to the future
this is the govt 'serVICE' we deserve

It appears the problem is not fixed or, if it was, that it is back again. I've been trying all night to get on: - its now 1 am China time and the only way I got on was by initialy starting at ten to midnight and, while working on something else, to keep checking back. Now that I am here the Forum part is working ok but can't get onto OLO Articles segment.

Take Grahams advice and e mail him we rarely see him around on weekends he may not even know I had no problems this morning.
