I've tried to connect about six time and gotten a blank screen.
also, if I try to post, I get a blank screen.
This post is the first time I've gotten through today.
Anyone else?

My server couldnt find the site earlier but every other one i visited worked fine.
Posted by lymednva (Member # 9098) on :
Same for me! Posted by ldfighter (Member # 9405) on :
Yes, and the LDA petition site was down at the same times. Just like before.
Posted by Lioness (Member # 10655) on :
I had the same problem all day. So happy it is working now! Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
it started last night between 11-12 pm last night; so it's been 24 hrs. for me to be able to access this again...disgusting.
i liked it around 2 weeks ago TOBY put up a message saying the system was down, and try back later; at least we were informed of something. Posted by clairenotes (Member # 10392) on :
Why does it only happen to this site?
Posted by wiserforit (Member # 9732) on :
So, if it happens again, who can we email to? If you can't get on the site, you can't tell anyone!
Is there a trouble-shooting hotline email address?

emails to
[email protected] since she said she would be taking over for lou bachman during his heart attack recovery .
please add this name to your address book right now since the board has been down 2 days for me . Posted by Vermont_Lymie (Member # 9780) on :
Yes, difficulty accessing the site. Wonder why?
Maybe if all members chip in a couple of bucks each, we can buy Lymenet a new computer server to host the site?

It's been busted off and on all day....I lost track of the posts I wanted to answer. It's a new server, so that's not the problem..
Posted by Truthfinder (Member # 8512) on :
Yep, it's still messed up. It took me 3 tries just to get on this thread so I could post.

problems here as well

Me too Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
yes, for me it's been down 4 days; been on here perhaps a total of 60 minutes during those days for brief amounts of time.
i sent jenifer/moderator replacing lou b a pm today asking what is going on.
i asked that she send an email to ALL members like she did for the fundraising email she sent advising us what is going on; and
asking them to give us 24 hrs. prior notice for routine maintenacne.
toby or whoever had something posted 3-4 weeks ago saying the system was down; nothing about when it would be up, etc.
i sent this early today; NO REPLY back yet.

It was down for 3-4 days for me! Not good considering all the PM's w/o a email link of folks needing help! Whats up with the site?
Posted by wiserforit (Member # 9732) on :
Yes, it was down yesterday, all day. Interestingly, I got a PM from the day before!
So who do you contact when it's down?
Posted by Lioness (Member # 10655) on :
I could get on from one computer but not from another. Then, I could get on from both. Then the other stopped connecting again...
What a bummer...
But I am home now and can get on! Posted by Michelle M (Member # 7200) on :
The site is essentially unusable right now.
The server is SO slow I can go get a cuppa coffee waiting for a screen to appear and it's STILL not there when I get back.
Or it might be NOT FOUND.
I guess after days and days of this, it would be nice to know what's going on.
Sigh.

email jenifer! see the top post above saying she is taking over for lou b!
tom is the technie here but i don't have email for him!
lymenet members need to unite, and email jenifer galore and/or her Dad, Bill Stolowe:
we can't just be left out here in the dark not knowing what is going on.
my suggestion of ONE EMAIL TO ALL like she did the fund-raising email would advise all what is going on, what to expect, etc.
i'm also disappointed in the 3-5 requests i've made of jenifer NOT TO SHOW HOW MUCH $$$ WAS COLLECTED THIS YEAR THRU FUNDRAISER AND BY HOW MANY MEMBERS!? Posted by tickedntx (Member # 5660) on :
The problem may not be with Lymenet. My guess is that there has been a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) or DoS which is blocking access to the site for legitimate users.
CafePress is having similar problems, and here is how they describe this kind of attack:
<< A DDoS attack prevents access to a web site by its users. You can compare this to 500 people trying to enter a retail store through the same door at the exact same moment. This congestion prevents consistent and easy flow of traffic to the site. >>
thanks suzanne for the above knowledge; never heard of this before; read a little from the lengthy link posted above! Posted by Carol in PA (Member # 5338) on :
One time that I couldn't get LymeNet, I tried pinging the site, and the server was down.

Very very frustrating -- site only seems to be up for very brief periods of time during the day and then for a little longer late at night.
Really would be nice to know what is going on.

let's keep this post on 1ST SCREEN until we get answers; we deserve them. Posted by 5dana8 (Member # 7935) on :
Yikes yes. Have only been able to get on twice in 5 days. It says" this page can not be displayed"
Posted by mikken (Member # 2276) on :
I would like to take this moment to apologize for any of the connectivity issues that have been plaguing LymeNet this week.
I have been told that our Internet Service Provider has been having issues on its end, which could be the major cause of the problems facing LymeNet. We are looking into this and hope to have an answer/solution soon.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
Have a happy and healthy new year!
