Posted by LisaK (Member # 41384) on :
I guess it works now..
Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
I can't get it to post a new topic OR send a private message.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Yes, it was messed up yesterday. Glad to be back!
Posted by me (Member # 45475) on :
It still won't let me post something I've been trying to post several times. It contains a longer amount of text. So it is still somewhat messed up.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Yes, I just found that out. I reported it again.
Posted by me (Member # 45475) on :
Thank you!
Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
Still can't send a private message.
Posted by me (Member # 45475) on :
Still can't post on a longer topic
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Thank you. They keep checking it but not finding the trouble.
Posted by aklnwlf (Member # 5960) on :
me too
Posted by me (Member # 45475) on :
After I try to post the new topic, it takes me to a webpage that says the site has been upgraded- I still can't post the topic. I get redirected every time.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Same here.
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
windbag replies bounce back. Must get to the point. Is it now Twitter with word limit?
Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
Same if you try to preview a post or pm.
Posted by hopingandpraying (Member # 9256) on :
Same just happened to me.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
We've been reduced to Twitter! lol

Testing - don't think I can post or PM>
Posted by hopingandpraying (Member # 9256) on :
Any update info?
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
It just worked (just sent a PM)!
Posted by Catgirl (Member # 31149) on :
I spoke too soon. The search feature is not working properly (only pulls up one post and I know there are more).
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
Just tested. Seems short / med. short can still ride this ride. Not longer ones. No grown up paragraphs allowed.
Posted by LisaK (Member # 41384) on :
testing
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Got your MESSAGE Catgirl. Can't send reply!
Posted by me (Member # 45475) on :
I still can't post a new topic
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
bummer keep trying
Posted by tbrown (Member # 3) on :
It appears that some security triggers that protect the site from hackers were being activated improperly. I've made some adjustments that hopefully will eliminate these false positives.
Please let me know if you continue to have difficulties.

Good grief, I've been trying to post replies & send PM's for the last 4 days----no dice!! I hope that it's fixed now.

Let's give it a trial run ... Keebler, we need you! Posted by bcb1200 (Member # 25745) on :
I can't search or delete private messages
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- It worked earlier, another thread. but I get bounced back with any edit. And I edit SO often before a post is done. Got bounced on this, so starting over with fresh post. I think it does not "do" edits anymore? -
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- Yep. it worked on post with no "rewriting" - just want to say to TuTu: Thanks for the nice good hearted laugh.
Editing this one to see if it will repost. -
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- Hmmmm. Well, maybe it's just a sporatic kind of thing or maybe after one or two edits?
Edit one. Edit two. Edit three. Edit four. -
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- Hmmm. well, four edits went through. Maybe my other ones in different thread just upset it, somehow.
Just went back and edited into a post (different thread) from a bit earlier and that took. And, if this posts, this one, too, has now had a couple of successful edits.
Thanks, T Brown, for all your help. thanks to all who make LymeNet the wonderful resource it is. -
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Haha, Keebler.. Thanks for accepting the joke!
bcb .. I just deleted a message a little while ago. I'm off to check the search function.
Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
I just tried to send a long pm and it would not go through.
So, I shortened it to nearly nothing. Then, the system told me that the person's mailbox is full. I don't believe their box is full because it told me that same message about another person also. These 2 people have not been on LymeNet for some time and don't post except maybe once per year.
I was trying to respond to their pms to me. So, this is what is happening to me.
Posted by hopingandpraying (Member # 9256) on :
I was able to get some info sent out through PMs, but it's back to how it was before and I can't send any messages again!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Yikes... I'll let Tom know.
Posted by bcb1200 (Member # 25745) on :
I accidentally logged out and now can't log back in! Posting from my phone now. Yikes!!
Posted by hopingandpraying (Member # 9256) on :
It's happening again! Was able to send out some more PMs this morning, then could not. Help!!
Posted by hopingandpraying (Member # 9256) on :
Seems if you also try to edit a post, it doesn't let you do that either!
Posted by Robin123 (Member # 9197) on :
My pming just went through.
Posted by Rumigirl (Member # 15091) on :
I know the answer: Lymenet got Lyme!!!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Must be!! Posted by Silverwolf (Member # 9196) on :
Hi there,as of yesterday, April 1st, I was still having some issues,with search,and with posting new posts... so far it seems fixed, off to research on the search for a bit, then to rest.
<<<<< tbrown and techs, Moderators- too all of you,and LymeNet family !!! >>>>>,
Thanks for all you do to keep this site up and running, and for the -family support- and It makes a huge difference!!!
Don't know what TxCoord and I would do without all'a y'alls help,and kind words, helpful info' and tho'ts. it lets us know we are not alone!
Silverwolfi,and TxCoord too
Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
I still can't send pms. Same as what I posted above on March 30.
Why can some people send pms and others cannot?
Hope this can get fixed soon.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
That's so weird, TF! I'll let Jenifer know.
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- Today, I tried to post a medium amount of article excerpts . . . carefully selecting the key points and it was bounced back.
The link and headline did go through, though. -
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
hmm...so lengthy posts still won't go through?
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- I just got a set of three links with a few paragraphs to post in a different thread. Maybe just timing or something about the "layout" but both were similar. I will just go with the flow, as I've had to do with my body / brain for so very long. When something is not working, "oh, well" is my go-to mantra. I know that if I just wait a bit, it might work again. -
Posted by tbrown (Member # 3) on :
FYI I have been tracking this problem down. I believe I have a handle on it and have made some adjustments.
Please PM me with details if you continue to have difficulty with the site.
The root of the issue appears to be with security software which protects the site from hackers and other bad actors, where legitimate posts are sometimes being triggered as a false positive.
I apologize for the inconvenience and we will work to resolve as quickly as possible.
Regards, -Tom
Posted by hopingandpraying (Member # 9256) on :
I just tried previewing a PM I wrote and got the "Lymenet Site is Being Upgraded" page again and then when I tried to send the pm, got the same thing. I was able to at least send some PMs in the past few days, but now I can't even do that!
Posted by bluelyme (Member # 47170) on :
I missed you guys yesterday. ..thanks Tom
Posted by randibear (Member # 11290) on :
I got this loonngggg message.
jus figured I was being discriminated against.....lol
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Is everyone doing OK?
Posted by randibear (Member # 11290) on :
define ok....hehe
Posted by TxCoord (Member # 9204) on :
" . . . a false positive."
I just knew IDSA was involved (snicker, snicker).
Thanks Tom for the update!
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- I just got bounced after posting several posts. I had one more so very important one and I've been cut off. But it let me post this. Then I tried to post the link and it bounced me.
So, now I'll try to edit this and just add the detail without the URL, maybe it's the URL it does not like.

Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- Maybe that's it. It just did not like the URL. I tried about 8 times between the thread I was in and this one. -
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
That's weird.
Randi .. "OK" means "OK" .. heheehee.. just kidding.
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- Still odd. I just posted one thread and it worked just fine. Then went for another and then it bounced back with that "updating our site" thing again. I tried several times. Perplexed.
If this goes through, will be even more perplexed. -
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- So, I tried posting that in a different forum. So, have bounced out of Seeking, General and Medical. And no go. I'll try it here.
[I posted detail about the Portland Lyme Support meeting on Sun. April 10 -- and it would not take.]
And it bounced back, so I deleted my detail. Let's see if this goes through. I think maybe it just can't always do details, like me?
Perhaps because I have lots of space breaks and lines that were not full sentences, there were several colons: and a couple links. -
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- So, I made the support group post as simple and clean as possible and it still bounced back to the "upgrading site" sign.
If this one posts, I'll be beyond perplexed but it's time to say "Goodnight, Gracie"
Maybe there is some reason it does not want people to know about the meeting? Is the IDSA hiding in the "bounce back" function? Hee-hee. -
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- Tried to repost the support group notice again today, along with our state links (in Seeking & also in General - as the meeting is today - Portland, Oregon) and it bounced back again to the "site being upgraded"
But, if this post goes through, then there seems something selective in what it bounces back and what it accepts. And I cannot imagine what that difference might be. -
Posted by MADDOG (Member # 18) on :
Sorry to tell you all this. I am on my computers a lot.
This last 10 days has been computer Hell.
My babies still are not right ,things are changing on their own.
I get calls from hackers on the phone, were did they get my phone number????
I have anti malware software like crazy.
Things are still not right ,as a nerd I can FEEL it??
I think there has been a (one world computer) take over.
A huge super computer that has us all in there every last thing about us is in there.
Big brother I guess. MADDOG

For Tom Brown
Hey Tom! I was just able to send a short reply to a pm someone sent me.
Then, I tried to send a long pm to a person (I was the initiator of the pm), and I got the "upgrading our site" page again.
This person is brand new to LymeNet and has posted only once. So, I doubt his mailbox is full. Still, I couldn't send him the pm recommending a doctor to him.
Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
I also tried to reply to a pm with a LONG private message and got the "upgrading our site" page.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Thanks, TF. Will pass it along.
Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
This is what I have discovered tonight:
If I want to send a lengthy message by pm, if I hit "preview post" first and that sends me to the "upgrading our site" page, then I know the message is too long to go through.
Then, I cut off the bottom of the message and keep deleting more and more lines until I finally can preview the post. Then, I send it.
So, I send "chunks" of my LONG post recommending a certain lyme doctor and in about 3 chunks, it is all sent.
Perhaps this will help Tom to know that the "preview post" function is letting me know when the pm is too long for the system to handle.
Just to be clear, before the site was changed, I could send this exact post in its entirety with no problem.
Thanks, Tom for persevering. We all appreciate those who give us this site. It helps so, so many people.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
I sent a message ... thanks, TF!
Posted by tbrown (Member # 3) on :
I made another major readjustment, so I'm hoping that the large message issue is resolved. Please let me know if it is not.
-Tom
Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
Tom,
The large message issue is not resolved.
If anything, I could send more text before you posted this yesterday than after.
in the morning on 4/13, I could send my very long message in 2 "chunks" and now, since you posted this, it takes more than 2 chunks to send it all out.
So, it is accepting less text now.
Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
Reporting in...
Keep getting the moved things to a new location notice when posting. Some posts show up, then next time I go back they aren't there. Then next time they are there, both of them.
Had it happen about 8 times tonight. Other times all is fine.
I don't do PM's. Mine were posts on the board that generated the messages.
Hope that helps and thanks.
Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
Plus, I keep getting UN logged in. Or logged out, duh me, there is a word for that.
Haven't had to log in for years, and now almost every time I visit I have to log in. No big deal, just relaying that it is different in the event it helps figure out the problems.
Posted by hopingandpraying (Member # 9256) on :
I'm back and still having issues!! I think the problem may have to do with the size of PMs, but I never had any problems with that in all the years I have been sending out information!
I just had to break up posts into FOUR separate posts instead of keeping my pm all in one. Also, I cannot "Preview Post" because the "Lymenet Being Upgraded" page comes up again (this has been going on for a while as well). I think this also has to do with message size.
Thank you Tom (and anyone else--if there is someone--who is/are helping!) for all you do. We really appreciate all your hard work.

Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
Just to update Tom, I still cannot send a long private message like I used to be able to do.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
I'll try again.
Posted by TF (Member # 14183) on :
Tom, I was just able to send my standard very long private message! Horray! So, it looks like you fixed that problem.
Thanks much.
Posted by hopingandpraying (Member # 9256) on :
Yes, I'll second that and also say thank you for taking care of the problem. I was finally able to "get back to normal" and send my messages.
Your hard work and effort are very much appreciated!
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Thank goodness!!
Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :
- Just wanted to add that I've noticed the features all just humming along, very nicely lately.
Thanks, Tom, and all who might have helped fix this. -
