Closed to new repliesThis discussion is closed. It stays readable, but it takes no new replies.

I [i](for a change)[/i] decided to check out the "Recommended" discussions.

They are "Friday Yuk: How to keep your woman happy :)", "You know what, I've had it with TR. I'm done, bu bye.", and "Dell from Hell".

All three end me up at https://www.techrepublic.com.com/error

Why did you break TR?

I had some problems on Monday but they've mostly cleared up. But that was more around page rendering. I wonder if they have done some recent work in the site code. That would explain both what you are seeing and what I saw earlier in the week.

On a completely un-related note, the Christmas gift for the significant one just arrived. I have to get it covered before he gets home...

I have been having a bummer of a time trying to edit my posts. I keep on receiving server reset the connection while page was loading... or only getting 1/2 the page to edit, but no buttons to submit the changes. Weird...

by jdclyde

and has been doing that for a few daze now. :(

If I refresh the page, I get the whole thing.

by jdclyde

Never did play well with others..... ;\

The bad thing about being organized and getting your gifts this far out, now you have to HIDE the dang thing for a month! :p

On [b]another[/b] completely un-related note, things have not been as bumpy with ThingTwo ever since he had his break. Almost a [i]lucky[/i] break, for me.... :D He didn't go up north, but my brother was in town and he stayed with my mom to play with his cousins instead of going to stay with the wicked witch of the South. A win all the way around. B-)

No way in the world to do that. I covered the big big box with a sheet- it would take a mile of wrapping paper- and later I will stick a bow on it and call it good. The other stuff I got him is hidden in my office closet. He knows better than to go poking around in there, my wedding dress is in there.

Good to hear that Thing 2 is getting better. It's a tough age. How is he managing with the break?

I have an extra house to hide things in. I discovered that nearly every 5 am the-day-after-Thanksgiving sale item was available on the store's website. My shopping is finished, and my new house's kitchen cabinets are full of hidden presents until I can get them wrapped.

Unluckily for me, I have an extra house, in Michigan, in a fabulous real estate market. And my contractor is complaining because the ugly door jambs are making the new floors he just put in look bad.

by gadgetgirl

I'm getting exactly the same thing here, too.

DOUGEEEE! You pulled out all the plugs again, didn't you?! :p

Oops, sorry edit! That's 15:54 GMT ocurrence!

by ganyssa

now I'm wondering. I always thought that the Recommended Discussions would be stuff that the PTB thought you'd want to read based on the sort of person they thought you were likely to be.

I have the exact same ones listed as JD. So the sort of person they think I'm likely to be is JD? Is this bad? I've only read the forums for a couple of months, but I think that might be bad. And I don't even like showtunes.

by maecuff

you've dispensed with the denials!

It feels good to accept yourself, doesn't it? :)

by tig2

I have the same recommended as you. And while I can take or leave show tunes, there are limits to my similarities with JD. Men, IT, Red Dwarf... but we definitely feel differently about show tunes.

I have no idea how that list is generated. it may be based on thread frequency. Haven't a clue. But I think that everyone gets the same list.

There are recommendations in your workspace that I believe are driven by your interests.

I haven't tried the links so don't know what I would get.

by jdclyde

we are both men? :0 Something you haven't been telling us Tig? :p

Hey, have you been to tigerdirect lately? The whole page is pink! WOO WOO!

by ganyssa

to get punished for saying something works. I've had about 6 proxy errors and a page can't be found on the main forum screen since then.

by tig2

Took a full on crash for around 20 minutes. Or at least that was the view from here. Got the "We're sorry" message after about 20 minutes of proxy errors and PNF errors.

It happens.

by jdclyde

not that I know much about such things.

he hasn't taken anything for pain since last week, so that is a good sign.

of course I still have to help him with his harness everyday because the straps are in the back. man, people in the medical field need to learn how to make better fasteners, because the ones on this are clearly purchased because of cost of material instead of usability. I also have to completely reset it everytime he comes back from the evil ones place..... X-(

by the scummy one

either it reloads, or I lose FF or IE (they hang)and have to close it out (3 systems, same problem, 2 networks).
A new development (well, its much worse this morning) is that I will hang the browser every 3 or 4 posts that I read.

but only here, I can go to other sites without issue.

by jdclyde

to jump on that.... :p

I figured you could use a little pick-me-up after the depression of going from sandcastles to an office. Pretty damn nice of me, huh! :x

by tig2

How cool! They even stuck a pink ribbon in place of the "o" in "com"! And you can mail the page to anyone you want to tell about it via hotlink in the header bar.

The pledge to the Komen is $100,000. I must tell everyone I can find!!!

Thanks for the heads up, JD!

And no, I am not a man...

by jdclyde

I just noticed the site when I went there to find a link about the referbs earlier today for thumbie.

Time to share the love! :D

And it is [b]AT LEAST[/b] $100,000, not a flat rate.

:x

by jdclyde

I forgot where I put them..... :0

Three years later, after my divorce I was going through the basement with my boys, trying to clean up some. I started laughing, handed them each a box and told them Merry Christmas. (it was May). I told them it was from three years ago, and had forgotten where I had hid them! They thought it was as funny as I did.

I have never pre-bought since. B-)

As for housing market in Michigan, I have been hearing this coming year is suppose to be even worse and value is to drop again. :(

by debuggist

Something worse than normal happened earlier today that required us to take down a portion of the site. All is back up, but the tune-up to improve performance is planned for next week. If that timing changes, I'll post an update on this thread.

Some things take longer than others to roll out. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Regards,
Doug

by tig2

Things take time and we know that. Thanks for posting an update. I'm sure that Beth will post an outage notice when the tune-up happens.

Glad to know that my precious Mac wasn't responsible...

by debuggist

That performance improvement went out today, so please let us know how the site is performing now.

Thanks,
Doug
