I'm showing as logged out, the log in button won't load a dialogue so I can log in. Yet, I can post this rambling bit of useless dialogue generated in the attempt to get a log in prompt.

*raises eyebrows up and down*
Zees eez eenteresteenk.

Trying to post a discussion generated a log in prompt, but didn't post the discussion, or take me back to the one I was going to start. Dialing in, if that's relevant. Oh, wait. Hold the if. Took seven minutes to load the forums page. :0

Seven freaking minutes.

a couple of days ago. Never managed to get it fixed. It went away on its own.

I can be shown as logged in, go to post, post disappears and I get a log in pop, log in, rewrite the post, go to post, and get a log in pop again. Of course, the post disappears again.

I think that stuff like that is more likely to happen when they are in bug fix mode, but I don't know that for sure. What I know is that it is annoying as h*ll.

I'm dialing in, so no participation. Can't load 'em to listen... *sighs* The Internet is NOT dialup friendly any more.

There are numerous times that after I log in I get messages a red line with white text in it that my attempted post isn't allowed.

I have to go to the top Bar Log Out and then back in again before I can submit the post.

At least now I'm not loosing what I had typed in which is an improvement. :0

At least you are keeping them. I have been taking the step with anything longer than a couple dozen words of writing in a text editor and c/p to the site. That way, at least I can reduce my frustration load.

I use Wordpad now to create the posts so I don't lose them for one reason or another.

the click click click click click shup shup shup shup, placing the handle into the acoustic coupler, and waiting, sheddsehhss weeeeeseskkekddes, ah connection.

Do not dial in, need we send contributions so you can get a real line? DSL, T1, Comcast, something. You cannot suffer so.

Superb! Reliable - haven't been down since I switched. Faster by far than Charter. $40 less monthly. Smartest move I've made in awhile. :D

I, personally, have been slightly less than thrilled with the service in my neck of the woods.

What I really hate is the filter they use on the phone service, which has a tendency to clip words whenever there is any sort of white noise or TV in the background.

by boxfiddler

Internet and TV only. I keep a POTS for home phone. I can make phone calls no matter the state of the electric or the Internet. I like it that way.

I use corded phones, too.

No that's way too advanced Davette's problem is the Operator Connected Party Line.

Which keeps throwing her off, as all the operator can hear is a series of Beeps so she disconnects the line. ;)

Do you now understand why this is happening Davette?

Now everyone remember it's 3 rings for Davette any more or less you'll get someone else. ;)

I used to have such fun listening in on the party line. The things I learned about people I didn't even know! :^0

With no explanation, that would've certainly confused me... I'd have been worrying for days if I've made some kind of faux pas, and how.. ;)
