PROBLEMS WITH BOARD IN THE USA

Posted by Richard USA on 30/7/2008, 2:07 pm

Dear UK Colleagues:
We are having very significant difficulties with our bulletin board in the USA.

I think we may need to temporarily redirect our readers to your site.

So if you suddenly see many new participants from the US, you will know why.

Right now I am quite frustrated with our paid webmaster, and with the host server company we hired. Everyone is pointing fingers. Webmaster to the server company. The server company to the telephone/internet routing company, and round and round we go.

Meanwhile, our site is almost useless right now.

New temporary USa IPA forum set up

Hi Richard

Just in case it helps, I have set you up a free forum on our provider. The link is

http://members7.boardhost.com/paruresisIPA/

I feel it is better that the USA has its own place: I actively moderate our forum and answer postings, and could not manage to do this for the USA postings as well :-)

So if you decide to redirect, the link is above.

Email me asap at the address at the top of this page; I can then give you the username and password, so that you can take over customisation etc.

For a small amount you can get a paid for forum, which lacks advertising, and has more features (like ours)..

It looks a bit bare at present, but once you get some postings, it will look "normal".

cheers

Andrew
Chairman
UK Paruresis Trust

Thank. We are still looking into our options. I'll pass your message on to the others.

Andrew,

Please send me your e-mail address to either spotthedogz@gmail.com or spotthedogz@yahoo.com

Also whatever user name and password I need to use the board you kindly offered us.

We may have to redirect or at least post the url to the board you have kindly made available to us. At least our main site at www.paruresis.org is working, so we can work from there.

Our bulletin board site was "kaput" for most of the past 48 hours. It was working 5 minutes ago.

If it goes down again today we will want to switch to your server if at all possible until we can fire our webmaster and or get a new server host set up/ maybe both.

Many thanks for the kindness. I'm keeping my fingers twisted in the hope that the problem has been resolved; but I sort of doubt it. Intermittent stuff is always a nightmare to resolve.

Typical: Over-Paid, Over-sexed and Low on Virtual Memory =p

AND MORE.

For whatever reason, there has been little interest by the IPA leaders in so much as putting an announcement on the main site, www.paruresis.org which actually still works, telling people to come on over to the site Andy Smith made available to us.

We get excuses and excuses, and now they (the webmaster?-- overpaid, don't know about the oversexed part, but not enough processor for the job) is saying we will get a new server. I hope that happens quickly.

So, if any USA folks have found your way over here, now you know the story.
