Ah DU is back... I missed it

[nadinbrzezinski]

and all those proxies would not work with my ISP. As BIL and I were joking, we were on the dark corner of the web... at the terminus of it.

On the bright side, I got work done. You would be amazed how much of a time sink this place is.

:-)

1. I missed you.

Welcome back!:hug:

2. I missed this place... .

but serious all them proxies... let's just say TIme Warner was not helping. I did not feel like really playing.

[Me.]

3. Couldn't Get On Either

I was waiting 72 hours before I freaked

[hlthe2b]

4. I am shocked that I could use a proxy...

given that I use Sprint 3g/4g wireless sierra overdrive device to access and as it turns out, they block all attempts to change dns access (which I learned the very hard way, per this post http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=535512&mesg_id=535512).


Welcome back, nadinbrzezinski and all other DUers finding their way back today.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. I was trying every four hours

using proxies, not proxies, you mention it.

If nothing else though this shows, even if in error, how easy it is to close comms.

[hlthe2b]

7. re: how easy it is to close communications...

frightening, isn't it?

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. I've known this all along

why I keep telling people, be prepared to go back to MIMEOGRAPHS

[tpsbmam]

6. Yep, 1st time in 3 days (2 days?) I've been able to access DU.

Lost track of time. I just know it was a looooooong time! It's just nice to be back!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

8. welcome back, nadinbrzezinski ! nt

10. I thought AT&T had blocked DU

I could connect from work but not from home. I checked other computers at home and my router. DU was the only thing I could not connect too. Glad it back.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

11. I found a proxy with a funny name!!!

www.hidemyass.com

:rofl:

12. Yes, just when the withdrawl symptoms were easing

the pipeline to addiction opens up again.

Just WHAT a junky gonna du?

[hlthe2b]

13. Who is your ISP?

I'm curious why you couldn't use a proxy?

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Time Warner

I tried, I could look at the site, but could not enter the site.

[DemReadingDU]

19. Time Warner in Ohio

I could look using the exact IP address of DU, but could not post unless using a proxy which only worked a couple times.

Glad DU appears normal again.

[appleannie1]

14. Then it was not just me.

[Kingofalldems]

16. I don't understand why some could get through

and some couldn't. Yes, I am old.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Some ISPs are better at blocking proxies than others

:-)

And that is scary all on it's own.

[gademocrat7]

18. Finally back on!

I was having a difficult time not getting my daily DU fix.

[kgnu_fan]

20. I thought that the dark force was practicing a case of killswitch or somethin'

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. I was thinking... cyber war between both sides

quite frankly since that made sense.

[jaysunb]

22. Can someone tell me what happened ?

or point me to an explanation thread.

2 days of no DU and it's hard for me to believe, but I think I may have felt a bit of panic. :shrug:

Thanks

[dixiegrrrrl]

23. Damn..you missed the party, and the raffle and Skinner did a pole dance in the Lounge.

I think they called your number for the door prize ( something about a unicorn and skittles) but since there was no answer, someone else claimed it, ask Forkboy.

[glinda]

24. Thanks for the heads up! I am finally in.

[Lifelong Protester]

25. I tried to get on earlier... no dice. Anyone want to tell a somewhat

"dummie" but pretty sure I could be walked through it" person how this whole proxy thing works? I am surprised how much I rely on this site for my sanity. Will have to up my donation next time, assuming I have any extra cash... (WI teacher here.)

[disillusioned73]

26. That was traumatizing, I felt like I lost my link to the outside world..

one thing though, I could not comprehend how I was able to check in and see what had happened with my old ass LG dare(cell) and not on my PC?? Odd, oh well... good to be back!!

Oh, and I live in red country PA - so I am right there with you in the dark corner of the web...

[ralps]

27. Hi nadinbrzeeinki, I missed it too!! I couldn't post the Monday

& Tuesday Malloy truthseeker threads!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wtf: :cry:
