Proboards or Sky problem?

[Calenture]

I've been getting a mixed response from people I've emailed re. the problems either reaching, logging in or replying at this board or the Vault.

Briefly, it seems there's some disagreement whether this is a Proboards server problem or Sky Broadband.

I can see from messages onscreen that my connections been lost twice while typing this, so I don't know if I can post. At Proboards Support - support.proboards.com/index.cgi - they're saying both (a) it's a Sky problem: support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=support&action=display&thread=349032&page=4

and (b) that the Proboards servers are 'under attack': support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=support&action=display&thread=349034

Can't tell you more than that.

Now to see if I can post - and incidentally, I was only only able to reach the site by adding :8080 after the .com

And that needs to be typed or copy and pasted into the browser address bar.

filthycreations.proboards.com:8080

Last night that stopped working.

I have no problems with logging on at all . (Hopes not to jinx it)

No, no problems for me either Rog.

BTW I don't have Sky, if that helps you pinpoint it.

I don't even know what Sky is

Over here in the UK, Sky is a massive satellite TV company, Lobo. These days it also provides telephone and internet.

Tonight by some miracle I have the net again.

Although the net's been a problem lately, I haven't been completely inactive. I've been proofreading (about 5 stories), putting stories into the desk top publisher. I've begin drawing illustrations - two illustrations shaped up quite quickly. Last night I added a page to a Lovecraftian story that I'm co-writing. Emailing of course.

The usual situation is that a lot that I do doesn't involve posting here, or even using the net. Last night I made a recording of Gumshoe (Semi-brilliant film with Albert Finney as the Brit guy who wants to write like Dashiel Hammett and detect like Bogart). And as I need to get on with more drawing, I might as well sit down and follow the film while I sketch.

Just so you know...
