Often Have Problems Accessing This Site and sometimes get knocked off

[Band_Groupie 3]

:cursing:I often, about 1/2 the days I try, have problems accessing this site. I'll get "Link Broken" or "Can't access site" messages, sometimes for long periods of time. This has been happening to me since last summer when I started here, but it's becoming more often and very annoying. Sometimes it knocks me off even when I move to another page. Tonight I couldn't access for hours. I was able to access every other site I wanted (and I clean out my history/cookies daily)...it's ONLY THIS SITE I have this problem with. I'm trying to keep a daily blog here, but it's becoming problematic. What's up with this...is there a site capacity problem??? Is there something else I can do to access more easily?

I had another hour of checking back to get on here yesterday afternoon, and I finally gave up. Glad to know it's not just me!

Texasweb...LOL! (I'll delete my list if it will help with site access!)

I am glad you saw the humor in it .. because that was what it was for. My wife is a list person also, so I get where you are coming from. Have a blessed day and wish you the best in your WL journey.

This thing is crumbling under it's own success I think. Time to invest in some serious hardware and pipes to keep it up.

Amen. I tried for over two hours last night and gave up...I was beginning to think I'd been banned for complaining.

You have been banned along with a couple hundred other people.

LOL! We'll be starting our own website 'Banders Anonymous Now Banned (from LBT)'...or BAND for short.:thumbup:

I love this site! Did you HEAR ME (Administrators)?!

We've purchased new and additional equipment many times over the last few years but we can never seem to outpace the popularity of the site and every once in a while we run into similar issues like what's been going on this past week. Instead of putting a band-aid on the problem we've been working very hard to plan a permanent solution that will address these annoying problems and allow us to scale based on our real time needs. I'm hoping to move the entire site to this new solution by this Wednesday or Thursday. Stay tuned for further updates. We really appreciate your patience and NO you haven't been banned!!!

[Band_Groupie 3]

Thanks for the update Alex! Well, that's a GOOD problem to have now isn't it...the site is too popular!! I know I've been sending everyone here from other sites. It's really the most infomative and supportive community for LB!

Thanks again...and thanks for not banning me.
