Posting problems?

[Jimbob]

Every now and then I have problems posting in the forum. I can still read what others have posted but I cannot log in to allow me to post. This has happened off and on over a long period of time but recently had me locked out on my normal computer with posting ability available only on a desktop computer that I have harder access to. The webmaster at the forum was helpful in getting me back on here but it took a while. Anyone else been having these problems?

Jim,

Not I yet … which is a real shame for all of you who have to read my jibberish. Have a great weekend.

Yep,
Have had occassional difficulty logging on.
Have an HP Internet keyboard with preset buttons for normal access. If the button does not work I go to Internet Explorer — Favorites and usually get on. IE opens to MSN. If I get locked out of MSN I go to Google and type in the foundation address.
There may be some other routes, but these usually work.

This is soooooo familiar, and soooooo frustrating, isn’t it ? I couldn’t log on to this site for a few months or so after my fiance had passed away, nothing I did wrong and tried all sorts of ways to get back, the web master tried to help me, but they couldn’t get me back in either, then all of a sudden one day, when I was messin around I tried to log in again, and *** POOF *** here I’am… I could always read the forum, but not log-in …so glad I made it back though,

Hi,

I had difficulty on the site last night. When responding to a post I received an error and was not able to get into forum until this morning. Has anyone experienced this?

Jody,

Yes, last night after I returned from 8 days in Las Vegas. I thought it was my inactivity. Now, it seems fine.

Hi all, Yes I had trouble last night also.When I tried to get on there was a message that there was a fatal error, ” the exact error returned by the operating system is: no space left on the device, “the disk”. Please notify the administrator to notify the hosting provider.I sent the administrator an E mail, I was able to log on in about 2 hrs. later. I’ve had it happen before, but never been requested to notify the adm. Good posting, I feel lost with out the forum.

I got the same “fatal error” message. Also, lately, if I use the quick reply box my message
disappears into the ether.

Esme, I just had it happen to me on another attempted post. I havn’t posted much lately but do try to keep up with you all.By the way Esme you and Hans are always in my prayers, I read your posts often. I havn’t had experience with any chemo as yet so don’t feel qualified to comment in that regard.It’s a beautiful frosty sunshiney day here in Minnesota. Amazing how uplifting the sun is, and how the mood changes. Have a good day everyone!

I had the same error message last night and again thismorning. My husband is a programmer so I was just about to ask him to come upstairs from the office to tell me what I should do, and POOF it began working. Now it works fine. I got a bit nervous there. That disconnected feeling was a bit worrisome.

I know just what you mean. Last night when I tried to go on before going to bed as usual I could not get on. I was so disappointed. But today all is well again.

[sugarwhale]

Dear friends,
Yes, me too! I get the fatal error and cannot access this forum. I don’t think it’s our computers though.

When I got the error message it said something about the disk being too full. I got that “all alone” feeling again at the thought of not having anyone to share questions and concerns with. Good thing it came back up again.

Hi, this is the MDS Forum Administrator. Sorry for the problems that you guys are experiencing with the forums. As to the email system not working awhile back, the webhosting server changed their system setup without notifying anybody and that messed up the email system until I could play phone-tag with their IT person.

As to the messages about being “full or disk out of space”, please send me an notice with your regular email account (yahoo, outlook, hotmail…). I usually just have to “re-shuffle” the forum “cache” (temporary memory usage) and that seems to fix it. Again, sorry, it needs to be done every couple of months and I tend to forget sometimes until I get those “IT’S NOT WORKING” notices

Also, since I’m a 9-5er and if there is a problem accessing the boards over the weekends you can send me a notice but I won’t be able to resolve the issue until Monday.

Thanks for your patients.
MDS Webmaster
