Dendroboard connectivity issues

[Pumilo]

I thought all of Dendroboard was down. Now I see the rest of the world can still get on! I just got off of a 13 minute phone call with ComCast. They say it could take 72 hours before they even have an answer why I can't connect!! I am so angry (NOT my first choice of words!) with Comcast right now!

It's happening with another website I vist to buy parts for my scooter, www.monsterGY6.com . They have been going off/on lately and having the same issue. I emailed him and asked what was going on and he said there was an issue with Comcast and he won't have the website back up until it's fixed.

The world of computers....interesting... I have Verizon with Firefox/Mozzila---so I will try getting in touch with Verizon. Fios is being installed within this county but I live in the boondocks of the county and people here are lucky they have DSL!! You'd think the administrators of that board should be contacting the servers... thanks for taking the time to indicate that this is not just my system..By the way, how would I use a "proxy"???

[JaredJ]

I called Verizon tech support and the two techs I talked to couldn't access the site either. They say it's not them.

You can go to Free Proxy Server - Surf The Web Anonymously - Protect Your Privacy!, then enter the site you wish to go to and it makes you anonymous.

I'm kinda happy, I originally thought it was on my end but now at least we know it's a widespread thing and eventually it will be fixed.

Jared--thanks for the site--I will go on that site after finishing this post...I called Verizon tech and was on the phone with them for quite a while. They said it was not an issue with Verizon...and they found a phone number for me to call to notify the administrator that there were connectivity problems. Spoke with Mark and he was surprised to hear about the spotty problems as he had no issue with getting online with Dendroboard but is going to let Kyle know. But with your suggested site I can catch up on three days of this obsession and the clay backgrounds--thanks

Jared--I tried to get on Dendroboard using your proxy site...but being the computer illiterate that I admit to being--can't figure out how to do it. I looked at the checked boxes and some other stuff and guessed at how to do it. The homepage came up but the picture areas that carry the recent photos was blackened out...and I tried to log on--it went back to the proxy site. Any suggestions???

[JaredJ]

yeah, only the random pics on the main page get blacked out. I get kicked back to the proxy page too when I logon. Just put the adress back into the bar on the proxy page and you will go back and be logged in.

[Judy S]

I must be doing something incorrectly...I wonder which of the options you clicked on...can you get back to me on that? So near, yet far...thanks for your time and suggestions...

Judy, you type in Dendroboard.com into the white bar on the proxy site that Jared gave us. When Dendroboard comes up, you log in like you usually would. This will send you back to the proxy site. Now you type in Dendroboard.com back into that same white bar. This will take you back to Dendroboard and you are already logged in.
The problem I have is that the proxy site we are going through will not allow us to reply to anything.
Thanks Jared! At least we can check out what's going on in Dendroland!

Thanks for the input...I did get on the site, but also found out that you cannot reply to anything or post any comment to the administrator either. I'm glad I called one of the admin. this morning....want the number??? I read him all the posts that mentioned that they were having trouble logging on...so now i'm in the middle of making a clay background with a question and am unable to post it or get it answered...so if anyone out there knows whether it is possible to paint the resulting background various rock colorations with acrylic paints, please let me know 'cause my clay is drying as we speak!!!
