Have others been having trouble off and on over the last day or so bringing up the Fedora Lounge site?
Yep. Couldn't get on all before noon today.

Access for me has been intermittent since Tuesday night when I got a "server error" message while browsing threads; read one thread, move on to the next and suddenly there's no access, then it's back again. I haven't had any problems tonight, so I'm guessing they sorted it out while they were offline earlier today.Have others been having trouble off and on over the last day or so bringing up the Fedora Lounge site?
... A trifle annoying, but I probably get more sleep when I can't access the site.

Welcome Steven,I’ve had the same problem. Since I have not received any alerts since Thursday night after I received a server error message. I’m new here at the FL and the alerts have been helpful for me keeping up with what I’ve posted or when another member replies to one of my watched threads. There is a lot of people posting, how do you or others keep track of the content?

I visit The Lounge almost daily, and use the "Watched Threads" function in the taskbar just below the header. When you click on that, it shows you a list of the threads you're "watching" that have received new posts since the last time you visited. If I have the time after I've viewed those threads I usually browse the forums to see if anything else catches my interest.I’ve had the same problem.

Welcome Steven,
I receive email notifications from Fedora Lounge of members that either I follow or
are following me that have posted a reply on the forum on a thread which I have created
or one which I have made a reply to.

Welcome to he lounge Steven. When you are logged into the site you should see three headings at the very top of the page. They are titled: 1967Cougar390, Inbox, Alerts. If you run the cursor over the first one, that's the one with your forum name, no need to click on it, a drop down menu will appear. Scroll down to the fifth heading: Your Content. Click on that and all your posts will appear in chronological order. I hope that helps.There is a lot of people posting, how do you or others keep track of the content?

GHT thanks for the reply and welcome. That helps a lot.Welcome to he lounge Steven. When you are logged into the site you should see three headings at the very top of the page.

You'd be surprised how many elderly folk either can't or won't use the Internet for anything. We run into this all the time with our ticketing systems -- 90 year old ladies call up boiling mad because they can't figure out how to buy an opera ticket online and just want to do it over the phone. Although my mother is all over Facebook like grease on a mackerel, she won't buy anything online because somebody told her the Russians will steal her identity if she does. But nevertheless, companies insist on pushing "convenient internet service" because it means they don't have to pay someone to sit by the phone and take orders.
Within the next ten years, traditional "just pick up the phone and order" systems will be completely extinct.
Until the end of my life, I will definitely not buy any slim-fit jeans! What's the point with them, marketing-boys?? I'm not more in the kindergarden.
