I'm not sure what happened, but they rebooted the server and that fixed the problem.
Chas.
Sounds exactly like what I tell customers every day!
Haha. I was going to say that sounds like a typical server support ticket.
"We rebooted the server and it's working now. Ticket closed."

I run a phbBb board, and unfortunately have experienced the same type of issues. I pay for both my url and the board but the platform is largely based on free usage. I don’t know if that matters but when the majority of your customer base doesn’t generate income it’s hard to have a full staff and top of the line equipment.
Just my opinion here.

Chas.
Did they unplug it, count to 60, and plug it back in first?
Always step one. Even when I tell the tech I have already done it.

I’ve been in your shoes many times myself. It is often a thankless task, which is why I am so grateful that Charles provides this site for the rest of us to use. It’s a valuable resource for helping to educate non-gun owners who are legitimately interested in learning about licensed carry, and other gun-related topics.
