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

For the last three days, I get "Site Problem | TechRepublic.com" and the error message of "The page you've requested cannot be found."

I get this from three different computers, from two different locations so I find it hard to believe it is just me?

Anyone else having this issue? It really makes it hard to stay up on a converstation when you can't get back in 9 out of 10 times.

And it isn't for the same discussion either, but a variety of them.

I have the problem at work and at home.

My first thought was that it was firefox but IE did the same. I tried it at home in FF, IE and on a Mac. Same issue.

I thought maybe a windows update was causing the problems but it happens on the Mac too.

At first I thought it was our proxy server, but I bypassed that and it continued. Today seems better, but last week it was really interfering with my access to the Yuk. That cannot continue!

by old guy

I thought it was just me or that maybe you did turn me, Mambo, after sending you that link for Christmas.:) That and I was hoping to get some input on the post about Home VPN users.

by jdclyde

that it should happen when I try to go to this discussion to beotch about it happening all over again!

It was find for a whole hour, and then right back to about a 90 percent error ratio.

Man it is easy to fall behind on the conversations when you can't get into them for a few days.

Oh, and even when I CAN get in and make a post, the majority of the times I get that error again when I submit.

I was bitching about this in my blog. Trivia Geek replied that TR had a "had a massive database outage" on Tuesday. I guess they're still having problems.

I saw Trivia Geek's name before I read his message in my blog. I thought he was replying to tell me I was getting booted from TR for ranting like a madman and not posting a thing about technical stuff in my blog and basically writing crap that only a lunatic would write. Christmas came early for me because I am still alive and well here on TR and am still fooling the world into thinking that I'm sane.

by master3bs

is there a rule that everything in your blog has to be IT related? If so, I will probably eventually get the boot. :)

by m_a_r_k

I'd have been booted years ago. Every now and then one I'll give one of my blog posts a tech-sounding title just to throw off the pesky TR auditors. :^O

by stargazerr

The same thing is happening to me...When I try to post a reply to any of the discussions, it keeps going to that wretched page ..

The comment gets submitted though ... but its very hard to get back into the discussion, the long way round

]:)

by jdclyde

but it hasn't happened to me once today!

But last night it was getting bad again.

Two days ago was unbearable.

by jdclyde

is be more tech oriented, like [b]I[/b] am! :D

None of that off topic rantings for me! No SIR!

Why, tech is my middle name! yeah, thats the ticket! (with my wife, eh, Morgan fairchild. yeah yeah, thats the ticket!)

by old guy

You know you could be struck by lightning for not being extremely forthwith... :)

by jdclyde

Besides, God has a sence of humor too! He must, because he created Democrats! :D

So, are you trying to IMPLY that I might slightly slide off topic every now and then? I am offended! Should I ignore you? :O No, I guess not.

The fact that you replied to my post, I take it I am not completely ignored by you either? ;\

by m_a_r_k

You deer-hunting, rock-concert-going tech junkie.

Morgan Fairchild, huh? She's yesterday's news (about a zillion yeserdays). My new babe is gonna be Jessica Simpson. All the right ingredients are in place to make this happen. She is soon to be unattached. She has money falling out of her ears. She's a fine-looking lass. She's dumb as a stone. And...I live in her hometown. :D

by jdclyde

you stooge!

Do I have to explain EVERYTHING to you Texans? :D

No livestock references to get your attention or what? :^O

by jdclyde

to ignore my discussions by now.

"Oh, it is just JD crying about some major re-write he wants done to save himself two clicks again".

It is much easier for them to just look the other way. They don't end up having to take as many "Tums" that way!

Not to mention, I have once or twice gone just a [b]little[/b] bit off topic before......

by old guy

So, you confess, do you? A "little bit off topic..." Naw, I know none of IT guys would ever do that.

by old guy

So, you confess, do you? A "little bit off topic..." Naw, I know none of us IT guys would ever do that.

by old guy

So you admit to going a "little bit off topic" Naw, I know none of IT folks would ever do that. We are waay too serious for that.

by old guy

Between having a little problem with the TR posting and some problems with out network right now I didn't mean to post three times. Please forgive.

by old guy

The dem remark is a hoot!

No, I would never imply ANYthing. I assume you may also be referring another discussion right now. NO! I would not ignore you--I might slide over a few words but not ignore...

Sometimes I do wonder if I'm being ignored so I just sit quietly and pout a little but then I get over it and take a few more shots. :)

by m_a_r_k

I hardly watch any TV at all so any jokes about TV stuff will usually zoom right over my head. And you can have ol' Morgan. ;)

by jdclyde

Yes, it was a cross reference to your other post about offensive people.

Wasn't sure where I fell in that....

After all, not being the most "politically correct" TR member has rubbed a few people the wrong way.

( Oh my, if GG sees that, who knows where THIS thread will go? :D )

by jdclyde

And they talk about old guys DRIVING! MAD POSTER ON THE LOOSE!

I would ignore you if I didn't have to read your posts to respond to them!
[i]
Wow, imagine how big the divorce discussion would be now if this had been happening in there?

by jdclyde

it is from about 20 friggen years ago! How can you NOT know this? Oh yeah, I forgot. They didn't have livestock on that show either..... :O

by old guy

As I sit here head down and disgraced I shall take my abuse and chastisment and suffer quietly. Wait, I don't have to do that--I'm old and that's a good excuse.

That's ok I can take it--I have broad hips, uh, shoulders!

by m_a_r_k

Don't take the abuse and suffer silently. Lash back at jd for teasing you unmercifully because your epileptic posting reminds of him of a little old lady driving on the highway without her reading glasses. :D

by old guy

You're right! Where is Oz? I'm no cowardly lion! Come on, I can take you! Just no hitting below the belt or above the belt and we'll be ok. Uh-oh, I think I hurt myself.

BTW, Mark, thanks for the "encouragement", I think.

by m_a_r_k

But not much. I used to moonlight as a boxing trainer. I can see I'm going to have to devise an intense training program for you before you get shredded. Uh...do you run fast? I typically don't encourage my clients to run from a fight, but you may have to run from a few until you at least learn how to lace up your gloves. But maybe everyone will give you the kid glove treatment because you're an "old guy". :D

Not only is it hard to follow a discussion under these conditions, it makes me totally disinterested in the site. I won't learn anything professionally useful from some jokers who can't keep a simple http server functioning and their html in order.

by jdclyde

it is called "instigation" so he can get a show!

stir that pot MARK, stir that pot! BAAAA!

Oh look, your girlfriend is here MARK! BAAAAAA!

:O

by jdclyde

and while it is a little better, I am still hitting this page 50% of the time.

Is this going to be an issue for much longer?

Has anyone from TR even SEEN this discussion?

by m_a_r_k

I am getting fewer "Page not found" errors. But web pages load real slow. Sometimes only part of the page loads.

by jdclyde

to fit more adds on the page?

Am I the only one that will go to click "next" just as the page finishes loading and shifts over and you end up clicking on the "sponsored content"? Tell me that wasn't planned like that? X-(

by gadgetgirl

My contacts have suddenly disappeared! No apparent reason! (Good job I only had 6, so I know who they all are!) Happened around lunchtime mytime today.

There they were gone.

And yes, I'm still getting the page cannot be found notification, and also the part loaded page....

No idea if they're reading this thread or not, but if someone is, do I add my contacts in again, or let you restore them to me? If I do add them in again, will this cause problems if you have to restore? Is it just me? (and if so, why are you picking on me?!)

oh, the Xmas cards, prezzies and booze I sent will be recinded if you're not careful, guys!

GG

by jdclyde

My two hundred contacts are still there.

The only problems I am having are the no-loads, and hanging on that stupid i.i.com crap.

Well, I also get where just the title will load and then it stops. If I hit refresh it will reload correctly if I get that far.

A it really isn't like them to no acknowledge a discussion like this? There was a similar post, started about the same time, and Jay said it must have been one of the new "fixes" that they did.

Just like getting your dog "fixed". How is taking something that works, and BREAKING it, called a "fix"? poor doggies. Although my cat has it coming pretty quick, and it deserves what it gets! :D

by gadgetgirl

You've only got 63.....

Typical fella.

All exageration!

(why are they picking on me, jd? wotIdo?? wotIdo??)

by stargazerr

Apparantly the TR guys ignore any thread jd starts :p ... I doubt if they will ever drop this way :D

]:)

by jdclyde

They find it much easier to treat me like a disease that will go away if left alone! :D

Sorry, you will need to get a shot to fix that one! ]:)

by jaqui

ignore threads jd starts, they ignore threads i start :P

after all, I have no use for video games so my input isn't worth anything ;)

by m_a_r_k

When my pages only partially load, the only part that loads is the advertisement. Hmmm....

by smorty71

We are still experiencing some performance issues; however, we are actively pursuing a fix.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

by jdclyde

Like I said in another post, after I started this discussion I saw one on the same topic and so you were aware of the issue.

Fess up. Was it a "critical update" on your windows server that did it? ;\

(there has to be SOMETHING I can blame on MS today?)

by stargazerr

They are not heartless after all ... after letting you suffer for a week ... they finally relented ...;)

Thanks a million smorty ...

]:)

by old guy

I guess they are checking up on us. At least now, everyone knows it wasn't just me that did the three posts on porpoise earlier in this post I may not need to learn to fight after all..:)

by jdclyde

we still think it was just you. Please step away from the keyboard and no one will get hurt!

:D

by jdclyde

because they don't have the charm and good looks to win you over like I have! B-)

Exagerate?
