Is it just me, or...?

I've realized that, since just after the big Facebook crash on March 13, I've had many repeat failures when trying to connect to this forum. A few times involving my PC, but many more times with my Android/Samsung S8.

Are others noticing issues the past couple of weeks? I hate to think of this forum one day just disappearing and taking all of our shared data with it.

Best,
Fran

You are not alone. I've experienced issues recently also. The forum seems to konk out on me too.

It's persistent, I'll say that much. I noticed problems with another forum I frequent, but not nearly as numerous.

I seem to get the following message once or twice per day.

I've been getting those lately, and I have to restart my computer to fix it...

Restarting your computer won't fix an internal server error, since it is the website having a problem. By the time you restart, it probably resolves itself.

I've posted this before, but don't think anyone spotted it.

Whenever I get a server error message or a message about this or any site being inaccessible, I go to this page:

...and type or paste forum.talkingmachine.info into the box, and then click on "CHECK".

It's a handy tool to verify that there's nothing wrong with my browser or ISP or computer....

That seems entirely unnecessary since an internal server error means the site is having a problem 100% of the time. That message is generated by the server, not your computer or browser. If you see a server error, it’s not an issue on your end. Ever.

Can be annoying when you in the middle of a post and are trying to upload pictures. Oh well, that’s life.

Probably right.
