Now this didnt come from Apolyton since Apolyton has not had any problems the Poly Politburo wishes to discuss

[DanQ]

Bruce,

I don't agree that your sarcasm is a truthful reflection of the site's administration; even if you don't, I hope that you will agree that it is not helpful. Given the error messages that you have documented above, it is clear that what you are reporting now is/was an Apolyton related issue. This is helpful as it should assist our technical staff in at least a process of elimination of probable causes and in turn address it/them.

As I said before with the previous issue you mentioned in this thread, it was not clear based on your description and the evidence presented that it was certainly coming from this site; certainly there was some more that came in after my initial response to it. When that initial problem fortunately resolved itself reasonably quickly enough, it further minimized the likelihood that we would know for sure. I never dismissed the possibility completely, however.

I will leave it in the capable hands of our technical staff to continue to look into this matter. We can all certainly do a better job of communicating progress (or lack thereof) than we have been, though with yesterday's downtime that was practically impossible to do on-site. to working, improving and building together.

Sarcasm has allways been a playful way of communicating here..by both members and Staff/Admin, this is a fair depiction as you well know.

I am not however anti-apolyton but merely responding that a series of problems depicted over last couple of days may be a coincidence or may perhaps be connected.

Geez..lighten up..it was humor, albeit it sarcasm.

I wont joke then about Poly Problems, seriously


And yes communication is the key and again wont joke about the response Admin/Staff give when reporting issues

/me goes and sits in corner so as to behave himself

[DanQ]

I do not believe you are anti-Apolyton, Bruce, nor have I ever said so. I do not have a problem with the use of sarcasm where it is constructive in regards to Apolyton site operations and your criticism with sarcasm falls into bother categories. I had a sense that the tone you took was not entirely sarcastic or light-hearted to me, however, with the lack of e.g. some and/or smilies here and there -- hence the nature and tone of my response.

I'm pleased to learn that this was not the case and I hope I've communicated well enough why I reasonable felt the way I did when I wrote and posted my most previously reply above. (I did end it on a positive note and acknowledged an area that we (Poly staff and administration) can and should work on improving.)

Three for Apolyton, and those who help make it better (and those who help those who help make it better )!

Your interpretation of "here and there" is a bit odd, EPW.

QFT.

I think EPW was taking the phrase to its logical conclusion... "Here, There, and Everywhere"

Logic?

(I won't go any more off-topic than that. )

[Grandpa Troll]

Repeat of OP

Still having related issues associated with OP

emptied cache' and restarted my pc

Still the same

>>>>>No Sarcasm<<<

(Joke about previously thought harsh treatment of Apolyton Hierarchy)

[Gatekeeper]

**adds voice to chorus of those having issues**

[Jonny]

I'm getting it too; most of the icons aren't loading, as in the OP. (And this is the first time I've seen it recently... things were fine for me earlier.)

EDIT: Of course, the moment after I post this, it starts working fine again, after half an hour of not doing so.

[Locutus]

Should be better now (for the time being).
