AOL problems connecting to SOG sites

[Cynthia Daniel]

Wow! Let's keep our fingers crossed. Could it be possible that we've actually finally made some waves?

Mike, could you please try the other web addresses that I gave you to try before and add to that RaymondOlivere.com.

Thanks!

My guess is that if they fix it they will never make an announcement that they have done so.

I've not been denied access a single time for just about ten days now.

I'm almost ready to jump thru hoops, but I will reserve this until more time has passed.

Mike, could you check the other sites that I gave earlier in this thread and see if you can now get those too?

[Mike McCarty]

Cynthia,

I just visited each of the sites you listed above with no problems.

[Cynthia Daniel]

Thanks, Mike!

Today just before ten AM I tried to log onto the SOG forum and was denied several times. I tried to access the SOG home page and the page came up, but like before only the independent links would work from the page. Marvin M. would work, Raymond O. would not. The forum could not be reached from this home page. This is much the way I have seen it many times in the past.

I went to IE and got through straight away. I copied the links above that you had ask me to test earlier and went back to AOL. All links would bring up the home pages, but, like the SOG home page, nothing would link from the home page.

After being denied three or four times through AOL (history is that if you are denied once you will be denied forever more until you log off and back on) I logged off and back on three times and was accepted the third time. This is much the way it was in the intermittent days (not so long ago).

Well, I'm holding onto the hope that this was simply a result of the Southwestern Bell large telephone cable that got cut earlier today and knocked out 30,000 customers, including St. Louis Internet, which hosts Stroke of Genius and all the other sites.

I figured there was some reason why I couldn't access SOG for most of the day! Nice to have an explanation. Everything seems good to go, now - but of course I've never tried accessing through AOL.
