    May not be appropriate for this thread, but yesterday I could not get on to Ship of Fools. I understand it was a server problem. Talk about withdrawals for me.

    Today it popped up right away.

    Feeling better.

    Happened for me as well.

    I had the same problem with another forum I belong to around the same time. All sorted.

    Sometimes I look at a thread and find I have posted the same post twice. I think it's when I look at a thread and find a draft I thought I had already posted, and decide I must have forgotten to post.
    Would this be anything to do with posting from both a PC and also an android phone?
  • LatchKeyKidLatchKeyKid Shipmate
    I think I have worked it out.

    If I open Recent Discussions,
    then go to a thread and create a draft,
    then post it,
    then use the back button to go back to Recent Discussions,

    The draft is recovered by going backwards and reappears the next time I go to the thread.

    Not sure where to post this. When I try to access the ship from my laptop, I get a "This site can't be reached" notice. That's a PC running Windows. However when I use my phone, which is what I'm posting this from, it works fine. I'd think the issue was my computer, which is a mess, except that other sites are working fine.

    Is your phone using the same wifi as your computer or is it on mobile data?

    In this sort of situation my default response is:

    ipconfig /flushdns

    in the command prompt.

    OK, never mind, it's working now.

    FYI, and to follow up on what @KarlLB asked, I get that message when WiFi is having temporary problems. It goes away when the WiFi problems correct.


  • NicoleMRNicoleMR Shipmate
    Well like I said, it was only the ship that I got that message for, all the other sites (eight aprox.) that I was in were fine. That's why I was concerned for the ship.
  • Nick TamenNick Tamen Shipmate
    Ah.

  • PuzzlerPuzzler Shipmate
    Why is it that today I can get on to the Ship but not on to any other websites? Or at least I reach them but they don’t fully load.
  • PuzzlerPuzzler Shipmate
    All sorted by turning off my ipad and on again. I knew it was not an internet issue as no problems on my phone.
  • HeavenlyannieHeavenlyannie Shipmate
    Usually this happens to me if I have windows open in the background (in my case Audible is a key culprit). It especially impacts on loading sites with lots of visuals, which might explain why the Ship is less of a problem.
  • Nick TamenNick Tamen Shipmate
    I’m running into something odd. I drafted a post to start a new discussion, but before I was quite finished with it, I needed to back out of it. I saved the draft before I left the page, and the post appears in My Drafts. But when I click on it, I get:

    Permission Problem
    You don’t have permission to do that.

    Any idea what might be going on?
