ok...let me try....

you log into the forum...at the bottom there is an area that shows everyone who is on line...

click on the part at the upper left of that area that says "currently active users"...it will take you to a screen that shows you who is on line and what they are looking at...

shrink this screen...so its open and running...

now..open a "second" library window...you should already be logged in ........use this second library window to use the forum, PM system, and chat....

thrall,
You can also get to that page by clicking on "Who's Online" (last item in the "Quick Links" pulldown menu which is the 2nd button from the right at the top of the page on the main menu bar). This was the only way I knew to get there till you told us your way. But, do you think (or know) if it will work the same way as using your directions? I too have a lot of trouble losing what I've written.

Another thing I've been doing lately which seems to help ('cause I didn't know the second window thing either, Rachel) is to periodically shrink the window I'm working in down to the taskbar, then bring it right back up again. This seems to act like a refresh that starts the time over again. I haven't paid any attention to whether this differentiates on pms/posts/etc.
This is probably the thing to try if you've forgotten to open that second window-----which I will do.

smiles....i had not been back on the site since July it seems and wondered why i could not get the one and only message and one and only friend request i had but found this thread and my pc will live another day ....will not wait so long to come back....

[Submissive Beauty]

Was just wondering if that chat was down as well or if I am the only one having problems... I seem to have no problems navigating the site at the moment just unable to get the chat working.

*waits patiently*

[Torq]

Nope,, not just you,, chat is down as well!

[Guest013109]

Something really must be jacked up! I never really miss my lil people in my PM box until I can't get to them. LOL

[jonjon]

would you people just let tha man fixit? *sighs* lmao

[MrEmann]

Not sure what is happening. I'd really like to add rosebud, as she did ask. Everytime I try I get an error page. Same for other notifications.

[lucy]

Yes, it's the same for all the members. So even if you could add rosebud as a friend she wouldn't know you did.
But i guess It will be back. Eventually.

[thepast]

Ok, for all of you people who haven't been through a server/site downer like this before...

We are actively working to fix the problem. While it's still "broken," many of the features of the forums & the site will not work!!! So please stop posting that caertain things don't work-- we know, we're monitoring the issue and trying to get it resolved. Once it is, we will SURELY post that we think it's back up & then y'all can let us know what *isn't* working at that time...

Till then, there will be many things (PMs, adding friends, etc.) that just aren't working.

Thanks for hanging in there...

Ya know....there are times when i think a good kick in the side of the servers will do the trick....*looks at the room full terminals, switches and servers*....LMAO!

[tusayan]

Thanks Torq and everyone who worked (still working?) to get the problems fixed.

[MitchC]

Thank you, Torq, for all your efforts. I appreciate it, and I know everyone else does as well.

Does anyone know how to get to the old main page from within the site? When you click on the large font BDSM LIBRARY (red or white letters at top left of each page) it takes you to a page that was orange when the site was still down and is now red. Then, you have to click "enter here" to get to the old main page that had so much info on it. I'm lazy. I want to be able to go directly to it and by-pass the red page from anywhere within the site.

And BTW, thanks to everyone who worked so hard and for so long to get the site back up.

Torq,

Thanks. I incorrectly assumed that everything was fixed and permanent. And, I should have made it clear that I was asking a regular member and didn't mean to bother folks worn out from working on this for hours and hours. Sorry for the interruption.

Does anyone have any opinois on the FRee AVG or Free ADVAST Anti Virus Protection, or which they feel is the Best Free For Home Use Program, I have McAfee avaialbe for free from my ISP buti have been warned to stay clear of it

Any help or suggestions are appriciated

[tusayan]

I've been using the free AVG for a while now, and it's worked fine as far as I can tell.

It's much less cumbersome than the Norton Antivirus I had before.

[mkemse]

my choices seen to be between AVG, Avast & AVira i do know on AVAST you have to run scans yourself it does not have the avilvity to automaclty scan your system it has to bestarted manue when you want to do it
