    There is a problem accessing the main DL forum. An error page is obtained. However, if you go to the "last post" and view it, you can click through the next/last threads to view and post on all the threads until this gets fixed.

    Most of the links do not seem to be working.

    I am also having problems accessing the forum.

    I am glad to see that I am not the only one!

    I have a lot of trouble bringing up DI lately. Has someone hacked in and screwed something up or something?

    Look familiar?

    I can't even get into the Distance Learning Discussions forum right now.

    Degreeinfo was essentially out of action for a couple of days last week. At any rate, I couldn't access it.

    It was working fine after that, but today I started getting those database error messages again. Right now the main forum won't come up.

    Problems here too with any access. If access gained, main forum won't work--but the gimmick I mentioned does. No idea why. It's slow (hitting last post and then hitting next or last thread (I forget which), but it still seems to work.

    I think Chip doesn't check in very often. I've emailed him and left him a phone message.

    But what of the others? Gossett, Tait etc.?

    All left?

    Everyone must have quit or gone on vacation.

    Maybe Chip could recruit James Crabb to fill in as moderator for a while. :D

    Yes, well, despite everything, some comment from the moderators would be appreciated.

    If the Distance Learning forum works for anyone, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

    I see that some people are posting to the Distance Learning forum. Can someone please post a link to there that works!

    One way to get on is to go to the general forums menu, then click on that yellow thing on the right side of the main forum's 'last post' box. That will take you to the thread containing the most recent post. At the top of that you can click on 'previous thread' or 'next thread'.

    It's awfully cumbersome, but it's the only way I know to access it. That forum is still getting quite a few new posts, so perhaps there's a better way.

    All the main forum's threads seem to still be working. The only thing that seems to have crashed is the menu page that lists all the forum thread titles.

    Go to last post button

    Then navigate through the last thread and next thread tab. Pain but works..

    I think this is a great idea. Would really bring stodgy degreeinfo back to life.

    Yes, thanks for the tips. It made it possible for me to respond to Ian and I sure didn't want him thinking I was dodging his question :D

    Best, Mary

    Have also not been able to access the DL forum for about 1 week now ... and am having withdrawal symptoms [[wanna start a support group? :D ]]. Thought it was just me, so I deleted all my cookies (now I need to go on a diet) and logged out - to no avail.
