Snowcat reports: For the last 3-4 days I haven't been able to access TMP.Every attempt at a connection times out. This is the only site I'm having problems with. UK and US based viewers don't appear to be experiencing these issues. Is this just a problem with Australia at the moment? Cheers Anyone else from down under having this problem? |

No, I've been fine. But don't expect too many replies from those who are having that problem! |
| iceaxe | 20 Nov 2008 7:24 p.m. PST |
Yup, no problems for myself, either. |
| shelldrake | 20 Nov 2008 8:08 p.m. PST |
no problem in my part of down under either. |

Haven't had any problems myself, and I'm on and off during both day and night :) |
| Mal Wright | 20 Nov 2008 8:16 p.m. PST |

I was trying to imagine what kind of mischief ALL the australians had done, that made you want to give them a Time-Out… |

Nope, don't have a problem. Only problem with TMP is that the Boards are often down for maintenance when I want to use them. I suspect it is the time difference. G^is,

I'm the one who started this.
I'm on a different computer now down the road, and everything's fine. No doubt when I get home I won't be able to get TMP again, as there's clearly a glitch on my PC. Interestingly this happened at about the same time I installed the latest version of Firefox. Not the first time that has been a perilous exercise… Thanks guys. |

Snowcat, I had problems with my gmail after I installed the latest version of Firefox, very frustrating until I finally got it all sorted out. First time I have had problems with firefox. Teresa |

It's God's revenge for that Brett Lee Bollywood song we were talking about the other day. |

It's all good at my end; (but the Aussie Dollar SUCKS)! |

"Only problem with TMP is that the Boards are often down for maintenance when I want to use them." Its all part of Bill's evil plan for world domination. He knows the Aussies are all agents of goodness and niceness so he blocks us out while he and his arch evil cohorts exchange messages of dominance and overthrowing world governments. Then again…it may be because you just keep tuning in at the wrong time!  |

"Time Outs for Australians" I thought the Australians had something bad as a whole country & were being sent to the corner until they were sorry for what they did. |

I thought the Australians had something bad as a whole country & were being sent to the corner until they were sorry for what they did. Hold on a second. I'll find a response… *looking for "European settlement of Australia" in the history books* |

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack. Last night I sought some advice from computing.net on this matter. One person advised me to try setting TMP as a trusted site in IE. Another mentioned it could be a Microsoft update that caused the problem. Anyway… I just tried the set as a trusted site option in IE, and it worked! Now works fine in Firefox too! But here's an interesting thing: just as I had opened IE and clicked on Tools, a window popped up on the screen from Spybot Search & Destroy telling me that an important registry entry affecting the user toolbar had been changed – allow or deny? Sounded intriguing so I told Spybot S&D to 'remember' it and clicked 'allow'. Then I continued setting theminiaturespage as a trusted site in IE. So who knows? Maybe it was the registry change that did the trick before I even finished setting up the trusted site business. ??? |
| Snowcat | 21 Nov 2008 6:12 p.m. PST |
I've just been informed that my sense of time must have been out, as the Spybot message occurred *as a result of* the change I was making in IE, which affected the registry, hence the warning/message. :) |

Same problem here too. Trox |

Maybe all that snowfall you guys have gotten in the past few days is causing your connection problems? |
