Title: Technical Idiot Question
Post by: White Noise on October 22, 2011, 08:31:55 AM
Can't get on FOF from my computer, only by phone. Every other site works for me.

Stopped working last night and still fails this morning. Any ideas what I can do?

Technical idiot answers:

- Its difficult trying to get FoF on the microwave oven. Try looking at a computer screen.
- Have you tried plugging it in?
- dirty glasses stopping you seeing the screen?

I'm only saying this because I don't have anything intelligent to suggest.

Haha! I'm hungover but not that badly.

I wondered whether I had been blocked for my only good as I drunkenly carpetbombing the board at 1.30 this morning?

Have you tried switching your computer on and off?


Apart from that, I can't help you. It was slow again for me yesterday but today all seems to work perfectly. Perhaps it is a relay thing: in turns we have a day of bad connection to FoF. Or it is a masterly but evil scheme by the administrators, who want to make sure you know how much you would miss it if FoF wasn't there!

I tend to switch computer off, switch network off, switch network back on and then computer back on, in that order. Sounds a bit strange i know but the link between my computer and network seems to need reseting sometimes and that is the best way of doing it with my pc.

Well if you were drunk I couldn't tell. Your carpet bombing was filled with good posts.
