hello everybody here at Mylot.
i am so upset right now, i am able to get logged onto the internet right now, but my homepage which is bellsouth or at&t now, is unavailable, so therefore, right now, i am even unable to check my e-mails. duh. i will be glad when that bellsouth or at&t fixes their problem with their homepage not working right now.
so tell me, has your homepage ever been unavailable like that but you were still able to log onto other websites?
thanks for sharing and have a beautiful evening.

Hi TnWoman! I haven't really encountered that problem except for when my server is down or upgrading its system, I wouldn't be able to logged in to any sites at all. But usually it only takes a few minutes and the longest wait I ever had with such problem to be fixed was an hour.

Hmm, that's the first time I have heard of that situation. It has never happened to me before.
I hope you are now able to get in to check your emails. That has got to be the most frustrating thing.

Hi Tn!
No I as far as I can remember I have never had problems with either of the sites I use for my home pages. The only time I ever have a problem is when the internet provider decide to do an upgrade but that is usually after midnight so I shut everything down and have an early night. It happens at the most twice a year though.
You can reach your notifies through the tabs here even if you have no email access. Then you can keep up to date just the same.
Hope it gets fixed soon.

hello mysdianait
that might be what bellsouth is doing right now is doing some kind of an update. they need indeed to do that a little bit later on in the night, like at two a.m. or something like that. and i know that i can still keep up with all of my friend's Mylot discussions around here, but then if i do that through my tabs here, then when i do get to access my email, then i will have the problem trying to remember which Mylot discussion that i have responded to or not. thanks for responding.

Yes, that happened a lot when I was with Earthlink a long while back, it just drove me nuts. They had internet outages, homepage outages, it just seemed as if something was always wrong! Now, it's rarely anything earth shattering that we're logging on for but we pay for the service and should be able to access it any time we wish!
Well you know what they say--don't sweat the small stuff and remember that it's all small stuff!
Hope your problem is solved soon!

hello dragon54u
i know what you mean about having the homepage down like that. that is the problem that i have been having now this evening for around two hours or so now. bellsouth should have done their updating way later on in the night when most everybody should be in the bed. right? thanks for responding.

No, I never had that. I would get very frustrated if that happened to me. Have you called them to find out what was going on? Was there a storm in your area that could of affected there homepage. Maybe there just updating something. If it doesn't fix itself soon I would call to see whats wrong.

hello moneymommy
if my homepage isn't working in the morning, i will look up bellsouth's telephone number and call them. duh, i will probably be on hold for an hour before i get to talk to anybody. and if that bellsouth is doing upgrading or updating or whatever right now to their website, they should have waited until way later on in the night to do that. thanks for responding.

Well, I remember one time, my website was down for 4 hours and I almost freaked out and fainted *laughs*. It wasn't even my fault, it was just that the server company has to upgrape something or anything like that. I was thinking 4 hours of possible earnings, it's really not a lot, but that doesn't make me feel good. I am sorry to hear your story, hope everything is back on track now!

i don't think that your problem is the homepage. i guess it is the internet connection that you are having problems with so you will not be able to access all websites. if you are not able to access the homepage you will not be able to access other sites too most probably.
yes it is really frustrating. cause internet is really much important nowadays. i will miss so many sites that i visit every day online. i learn so many things. i do try to read many things to add knowledge every day. without i feel that i have missed a day or an opportunity to learn some new things. i am able to fight the boredom off by getting online.

I'm sorry this happened to you, and I understand how frustrating it is.
Modern technology should mean ease of access to the applications you use, and email is an important part of our every day lives.
Depending on where we live we are stuck at the mercy of the powers that be that provide us with our services.
I hope the problems is fixed soon, and you are credited for you inability to utilize the services you are paying for.
Take care.

Happens to me all of the time. Usually happens during bad weather but once in a while a cable or something breaks in another area than where I'm located and the home page won't come on but my particular area still works. Although I was without Internet for a couple of weeks a while back because there was a problem in my area with the system and it took a couple of weeks to get the part needed to fix it!
Hope your works out soon! ;)

Hey Tn, it is so ironic that you would post this discussion today! I was having computer issues myself this morning when I was on my laptop computer. I was acctually responding to one of YOUR discussions, when the screen went BLANK! I of course went into a panic, and it took me 20 minutes to figure out that it was LOW ON BATTERY! Oh Lord!
I still don't know what I would do without them, though. Have a great day!

I know how frustrating this kind of problem can be since I experience all kinds of problems lately with aol. I've used their server for years and rarely had a problem but lately it's been a nightmare. I am still on dial up and about ready to make a change. It's a difficult process since we have a burlar alarm connected to the other phone line in the house which I want to cancel. We only need one phone line now. I'll have to have the alarm company come out to the house and put a filter on the other line in order to connect the alarm to a different line. Then will have to deal with AT&T to set up service. There are times I can't send email, the past 3-4 days, at all until I wait to send them at a later time. There are times also I can't load pages.
Hope you get your problem solved and have a good weekend,
carolbee

We're having a similar problem with ComCast (or as we like to call it, "ComCrap"), but we can't even get online. The only thing we can access is comcast.net and it tells us we need to call them. We're all paid up, but we still need to call them to fix THEIR error. I've had to go so far as to piggyback on a local business' wifi signal (which is spotty at best) just to check my email. Ah, the wonders of technology...

OMG, what a sad that you don't have net access. Dear TnWomen please try this domain to check your emails. This is the web site for all the emails can be checked at this server, but your domain server have to be routed with this server any way give a trial to this server and let me know how is it useful or not.
I use to check my emails when my mail servers are down it will work for many mail servers.

Yes, pretty upset too last night, our internet got down, I was not able to meet my quota here since i was not able to post and posts answers to query.
But it's okey, this day when i checked, i have my other referrals participating here in the discussion. I can see that they are earning too. At least that made my day happy. I was able to help them earn extra dough and most importantly, they enjoy this website.
And they meet new friends too and can post their pictures as well. Although i might be off for a vacation next week, so i better earn more this week. Happy Day!
