Trouble Posting

[Nicola]

Has anyone had trouble posting today???

Obviously if you have you will have to pm me!

[Ros]

The site seems to have been timing out a lot more recently. Not specifically bad today, though.

[Nicola]

Well today it seems as if Oskar has been 'forbidden' to post in Experience although he can post in Music/lyrics - how strange. Can you post here Osk???

[Ros]

The site's becoming sentient, and choosy....

The site's becoming sentient, and choosy....

Oo-er. You can call me Hal. (Quite pleased with that one.)

[David]

Interestingly enough, though, I can only see this in New Posts, and not in Active Topics. (The same is true of Moderators' posts.)

I'm just a face at the window. Let me in, and of your own free will...

[Suzanne]

For the record, I have had no trouble at all and been popping on and off all day.

(Some strange happenings around here today ...but not caused by Hal. )

I had this "forbidden" problem on the 25th when trying to post a vid in the music section. After several attempts I was finally able to post though.

Now I can't even post a poem as shadwell smith!

I've just tried posting from my computer at work and I am 'Forbidden', in both Experienced and Beginners. What is going on? There's obviously a poetry lover out there, stalking my every move. The swine!

Play 'Misty' for me.

I didn't realise you were posting from work. I can't post from work either - it's a work security thing.

Can you post from home??

Thought I'd try from work, just to see what happened. Same thing from my own computer at home - Forbidden.

Now I can't even sign in as Oskar. I feel like I'm gradually disappearing!!!

[Nash]

What are you talking about Shadwell? Who's Oskar?

[shadwell smith]

Cheers Nash.

The Artist Formerly Known As... errr.... what was he called?

[Nicola]

Now I can't even sign in as Oskar. I feel like I'm gradually disappearing!!!

I'm not sure I can even get an email through to you - they seem to bounce back. Can you email me on nicki@niccam.freeserve.co.uk and I'll try to reply. The password you gave me as oskar would not work so I have changed it - you need to email me so we can sort that out.

What ISP do you use????

[Nicola]

My web host tech support boys are on the case and will log in to the site to do some testing. It may involve mod_security and could mean that it is Oskar's poems that are the problem!!!

[Suzanne]

Gosh, what powerful writing, Oskar. I can only hope to write powerfully enough to become an alias.

[Oskar]

Mock ye not, Suzanne. I'm here with my overnight packed, waiting for a knock on the door from the UK version of the KGB.

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye.

I hear the CIA stewardess are quite helpful with serving meals to those in handcuffs and the weather in Guantanamo is stunning this time of year. It's about time National Security took a harder stance against poetry.

[Oskar]

All the bastards have got out of me so far is Sunny Prestatyn and a couple of early Roger McGough's.

Thanks for the support, Ben. If I ever manage to escape, I'm coming for you with the Complete Works of Pam Ayres.

[Oskar]

Watch out, Ben. Pam is coming to get you.

[BenJohnson]

You are far too late Oskar, my parents got there at least 25 years ahead of you, Pam has been a constant inspiration in my life, especially her hedgehog poem. On a different note great song from a great band.
