Having Trouble Getting Into Garden Web?

16 years ago

I received an e-mai from a member of our forum who is having a hard time getting into Garden Web. When she tries, she gets a "Bad Message" message and can't log in. Is anyone having similar trouble? I haven't, so I don't have a clue what to suggest to her.

Thanks,

Dawn

    Yep, been having trouble for a couple of weeks now, Some times I can get here, some times not. Very frustrating and I've no clue what to do about it.

    Yes, this is the first time I've been able to get in for about 6 hours, It takes me to a page that says the site I'm seaching for does not exist.

    I figured at first it was a problem with my pc, but I've run all my security systems and can not find anything wrong at this end,
    so??????????????

    Last night I could get to the forum ... but could not bring up any individual posts ... received a page not found error. Today it's working so it appears that iVillage probably had server problems.

    Thanks, y'all. I'll e-mail JustSayMo in a minute and let her know everyone else can get in (so far) today. She's had the problem for days and days even when many of us have been on the forum daily. Hearing that Owie has had trouble for days makes me wonder if she and Owie have the same internet service provider.

    Brian, should she contact her ISP or GW if she is still having trouble?

    Yes, I think it is IVillage again. I couldn't get in last night either. I could get to the forum but couldn't open the messages in Oklahoma Gardening although some of the other forums were OK.

    I had the same problems last night but everything is fine today. The other GW site I usually go to was the same way. Jay

    Jay,

    I had the same problem last night after 9:30 p.m. with the Oklahoma Forum but Mo has had it for days and days and days, so I think her problem is something else, but don't know what.

    I don't know if any of us really has an answer for Mo or for Diane who's had similar issues the last couple of weeks. It's one thing for us to not be able to get onto the forum for a few hours here or there, but Owie has only been able to get on sporadically over the past couple of weeks, and Mo hasn't been able to get on GW at all.

    I did e-ail Mo a couple of suggestions from Brian but I don't know if she's had time to try them yet.

    I have Wildblue satellite for internet but don't think that's the problem. No matter when I have trouble here, I have absolutely no problems on other websites. I'm just about the farthest thing from a computer genius you'll ever meet, though.

    Try deleting all of the GardenWeb cookies. I had this same problem last week and couldn't get into any forum for several days. Once I deleted all of the cookies no problems.

    I have an nephew who is an IT tech and he keeps mine fixed when I need it. I know before I bought my Mac a year ago and had Windows XP I had a lot more trouble with several sites. Since I bought the Mac hardly ever have trouble. Yes last night I'm sure it was the GW server. For those that have been having troubles for a while there is several possibilities. And it takes someone who knows more than me to figure them out. Jay

    I'm on a Mac, too. I'm obviously able to get in tonight but it's slow as molasses.

    Off the wall question... where do I ask a question about a Giji berry problem? I didn't find any Goji posts. Thanks a bunch, Red

    Red, go to the top of the page and "start a discussion". :)
