What is wrong with this site
 
I have had problems even getting on since Sat evening.I get a message that the web address is not found and if I am lucky enough to get on its very very slow ....sometimes I cant get anywhere but the home page !

Same here BMP...I get the emails for the Digest and all I get when I clic on the Digest is that same message. I enjoyed going to the Daily Threads or most recent ones. I wrote an email to the site, but haven't gotten a response yet.

It was cranky for me all day Sunday - and today it's slow in responding - I think it's undergoing some maintenance or something - and 'they' underestimated

None of the emails for threads I have subscribed to will open.

Nothing happens for me on a Mac. The message just says Safari can't open the page. Agravating and I tried Firefox with some results, not much.

If anyone figures this out, I'll be happy. I've had trouble getting the site to open and sometimes the messages are quick and other times take so-o-o long, I just give up. Have had this problem since yesterday and it doesn't look like it is affecting everyone. Wonder what's going on.

I can't open anything on my emails but I can get on by going to google and getting the board. I can't imagine why this is so. Very disconcerting -- any explanation from our moderator??

I've been unsuccessful in getting any daily digest's to open from my email notices. I've always received an error message as well. I hope this gets fixed soon.

i'm sure they will fix the links coded into the emails soon.

in the meantime, The first and most important thing to remember is that the emails are not the board.
They are only a link to a smattering of thread links.
They barely scratch the surface of all that's available here.

If you know you want to come to the board often, the emails are a waste of time.
they slow you down. why wait for an email?

You never need those emails to connect to the board.
Just come straight to http://www.quiltingboard.com

You can add it to your browser favorites/bookmarks, put a shortcut on your desktop, or (if you are a total QB junkie like me) you can make it your home page.

Same here. A dear QB friend has been forwarding the Daily Digests to me. I have tried several ways to re-register, but nothing so far has worked.

I too have been having the same problem for over a week. Yes, I know that I can get on from the site you mentioned but it's easier to get here through our email at least I think so. Tonite was the first time I've been able to get on through my email. I hope that it is now fixed. If I had to guess I would say they are problems on their end, possibly a virus. Thanks administrator for getting your team together to fix this problem.

jaba 05-09-2012 06:11 AM

Same thing with me, no e-mail link works. I hope the site gets this fixed soon!

Daisydoodle 05-09-2012 06:21 AM

okay, glad I am not the only one!!! Grrr time when I get a little time to cruise the board for it not to work. I do agree it is easier sometimes to just go straight to the website from the browser, but hey the email is a reminder to get on with the cruising.

I found this morning that when the diagnose problem shows -- go ahead and "diagnose" Then after it is done just X out of the little box and the board shows up.

Patrice, wasn't only happening through email links. I'd experience "hangs" pretty much anywhere that wasn't the home page. Looks to be unclogged now and working fine.

grocifer 05-10-2012 06:07 AM

Thanks Patrice -- I just bookmarked it. Every little bit of info helps

I find it better to be able to use the link - if I go to www.quiltingboard.com, there is way too much, and I spend way too much time reading. Not good. Much prefer the limited edition.
