I don't know what caused the outage yesterday, but I get all the same slow loading and freeze problems today as I have since January. 

 

I am, again today, getting the good service that I have, generally, been getting since I began using Kalmbach's service. I did have to log on again to read the Newswire (having checked "Keep me logged on" is not honored; I do not know how many times I have to log on).

 At the risk of seeming to 'pile on'; I seem to be experiencing similar difficulties. Site is un available, error messages, scrolling issues, editing issues with in a post, get really 'strange reactions'(?) while trying to post.  And on the 25th, site was unavailable(?).    I am utilizing Cox Comm out here, and their Cust Service had no answers for what was happening(?) with the Internet, and this Forum and Site.  AlienAlienAlien

Maybe, The Aliens have landed in Wisconsin, and are starting to abduct Kalmbach IT personnel? AlienAlienWhistling

... and now repeated site exceptions on hotel kiosk software: "out of memory at line 1" when accessing nothing but the Kalmbach forum pages.

To keep the IT folks from having to find a flashlight, the Uniguest help line is (800) 467-1218, where they can probably find information about how to configure things to avoid security exceptions among other details.

Oh, yes: they can also cancel their sweetheart deal involving s.thebrighttag.com, which is again pushing misconfigured download requests I most emphatically do not want or need, especially when they arrive as modal dialog boxes.

The site was down all afternoon and evening yesterday.  But I have been having trouble with it since last January.  It is an erratic problem with extremely slow loading and command freezes, which persist several days per week.  But some times it works fine all day.  But about at least 50% of the time, the site takes at least 1-2 minutes to open. 

I used to frequently get that long running script error, or not responding error message.  But that has rarely occurred over the last few months.  But from last January to about July, it occurred almost every time I visited the site.

And now the site is throwing security-certificate exceptions; something in the site configuration is now different, and wrong.

I could get to Trains.com, but there were no links to any of the forums.

What happened - was unable to log in or call up any threads?

What was Kalmbach IT doing?

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
