I don't mind admitting that I have NO IDEA what any of you are talking about - total computer illiterate here.
What I do know is that no matter whether I am at home (bad computer), Internet cafe (so so), or work (very good system, I am told), I am usually the only one on the boards.
But even that varies from click to click. Every once in a while and with no discernible (to me) pattern, it shows a partial (though not full) listing of who's around.

If I may whine briefly about a free (sort of) service, this really sucks. I never know if my players are also online when I am - so I don't know if it is worth my while to wait ten minutes for a reply so we can get a double-post-cycle. I don't know who to reply to first, so they can get a reply while they are still online. I don't know who to be careful of cross-posting with (plays hell with an IC thread).

Wondering if there is any fix planned at the admin level.....

It's been 11 days now since this thread started. Can we please get another update from the powers that be?
It seems like posting has been WAY down lately, and I think it's because of this. Maybe it's not way down, but I'm just not seeing a lot of posts because I'm missing some of them that come up as "read".
Can you maybe tell us what's being done? Heck, I'd settle for a "Piss off, my life is busy right now I'll fix it when I get a chance."
Thanks.

"Piss off, their lives are busy right now. They'll get to it when they get the chance."

I wish I could tell you more, but I don't have anything to do with the boards at the technical (software/server/etc.) level.

I have had the problem come back a couple of times now though. Both machines.

Sorry. I'm in a flat-out sprint to get a BattleTech book to press, and it is occupying all my time lately; I've barely had chance to look at the forums the last few days, much less trying to figure out the exact sources of these problems and fix them.
