I have broken the Internet and DU.

[MineralMan]

I can make an original post, but cannot reply to other posts. It must be me.

[FSogol]

1. Must be you. n/t

[MineralMan]

2. I've fixed it.

[FSogol]

4. Did you learn anything from your "time out"?

[OneGrassRoot]

6. OMG, my cataplexy just kicked in...

what with you breaking BOTH the Internet and DU and now fixing it, I can't stop laughing!!!

I'm like those poor goats; when they're startled, they fall over. When I laugh really, really hard, my cataplexy kicks in and I fall over (well, schlump to the floor is more like it).

So, now you broke me!!!!

[MineralMan]

9. Well, it must have been me, after all.

I am the center of the freaking universe.

[HappyMe]

3. I always figured you

for a shifty character.

[MineralMan]

5. I fixed it already...

I just rebooted, and things were OK again.

[HappyMe]

12. Well, okay then.

Next time you break it, some background elevator music would be a nice touch.

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. You didn't break my DU!!!

Bwa ha ha!

[MineralMan]

10. You have too many posts, so you are exempt, apparently.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. You'll get there soon!

[Ron Obvious]

8. I just got a "discussion locked" error on a non-locked discussion

When I tried to reply. Weird.

Hit back a few times and it posted fine, but I've never seen that before

[99th_Monkey]

20. I had that happen too, once. nt

[pnwmom]

22. Me, too. A bunch of times. But it's working now. n/t

[hobbit709]

13. Rule NO.1: NEVER admit to anything.

[DonRedwood]

14. So, if we wanted to pick on you, you can't reply?

Hmmmmmmm.... damn. Almost wish I had a bone to pick with you!

[bunnies]

15. DU is deleteing your replies before youve posted them.

[MineralMan]

19. LOL! See what I started.

I'll rue the day...

[rhett o rick]

36. The NSA could read and delete your typing before it even got to the internetz. nm

[bunnies]

37. Guess theyre never around when I type stupid shit.

[rhett o rick]

39. They dont recognize stupid stuff as stupid. nm

[bunnies]

40. heh. Good point. nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

16. Mama always told me that if I didn't stop playing with it, I'd break it.

I trust we have all learned a valuable lesson from this.

[Berlum]

17. Weird global I-net shit going down - China, NASDAQ, DU, and more...

[In_The_Wind]

18. Every damn thread was locked.

[99th_Monkey]

21. There's a "disturbance in the field" .. that's for sure. nt

[Berlum]

23. Digi-dittoes

[Skidmore]

34. The plonking beams got crossed

.

[99th_Monkey]

35. It's all geek to me. nt

[msanthrope]

24. Well, get out the scotch tape and fix it, man. nt

[RedCloud2]

25. Look what it did to me!

All those years. All those memories. And they want me to start over with a "new" moniker and wait five minutes between each post.

I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no

[MineralMan]

27. I don't understand.

There was a temporary glitch in DU. It's been fixed. Sounds like you have a different problem.

[RedCloud2]

30. I must have landed smack dab in the middle of it.

I was posting away as usual and had been for the past decade plus, when all of a sudden it did not know me. It asked for me to post my user name which is Red Cloud and said it did not know me. Nor did it know my email address.

So now I am stuck in rookie purgatory. It really sucks wanting to post something and getting this:

You must wait five minutes between posts.

I wonder how many true rookies get pissed off and leave. I understand there are infiltrants from the puppetmaster site who come to sabotage.

[MineralMan]

32. Ask over in Ask the Administrators about it.

That sounds like a different problem.

[cbayer]

33. You were posting from this user name before the site went wacky.

[SidDithers]

26. Have you tried turning it off and on again...

Sid

[MineralMan]

28. It'll take me some time to get to the Internet's big master switch.

I'm on my way, now. Wait for it.

[olddots]

29. could you fix windows 8 it's always broken

[CakeGrrl]

38. MY internet still works!

[steve2470]

41. reboot all those Cisco routers please
