I haven't been able to get on Freds board all day. Am I the only one?:?:

Mike Humfreville - 11-17-2005 at 05:24 PM

It looks as though the last update to his board was on the 15th. It also appears that the file that contains the board directory is empty. Nada. Not a single byte. That would explain why you get a blank screen, not an error message, when you attempt to go to his message board.

In the past he often had problems with messages being truncated. Now it appears that that has happened to the board directory itself. Let's hope he's been doing backups.

Thats always been there, the demise of the old Amigo's board.

Tio Rocky - 11-18-2005 at 11:22 AM

I just went to the university site and found an email address for Fred. I sent an email asking it the outage is temporary or pernament. When I hear back, I will post.

My web host (Dick Van Bree) is a moderator for Dick's board... just more technical issues, that's all... Just taking longer to resolve... Perhaps Baja Nomad Tim (another moderator and co-host on Fred's bbs) can add, if he reads this thread...

I received this email back from Fred:

The outage was temporary - the server was hit by some spamming and I was
on the road to La Paz. Thanks for the alert.
