Chiff and Fipple Forums

That's all I have been seeing for the past two day and it's driving me 'round the bend.

I can only get onto the Chiff every nine or ten attempts even though all my other tabbbed sights are immediate. When I do manage to get on here I can only view two or three posts when it freezes up again and after a few minutes I get the big black letters again...aghhhh.
The brutal irony is that I really need access because after coming off the bike yesterday I will not be moving far from the PC for the rest of the week..badly bruised ribs.

No jokes please. laughing hurts like Hell.

Anybody else having access problems?

Yes, I've had that happen as well. But it seems to connect on the 2nd try for me.

I thought it was a Monday thing. Today spilled out of bed, realized I hadn't set up any breakfast for the morning and decided to pick up a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. Grabbed one of the rack and was out the door. Unwrapping my heart pill* to find that it had a round sausage piece in it. thinking that I had picked up the wrong thing I looked at the sticker, nope It said bacon, looking back, sure enough it had bacon, but no egg. So is there some one walking around with a double egg sandwich? This I contemplated as to not notice what I was eating. So now the 504 "GATEWAY ERROR.TIMED OUT." crops up. At least I was able to keep upright on my bike today (the equinox always messes with my balance) Heal quickly and don't sneeze.

* A term my family uses for anything round, greasy and edible that is guaranteed to eventually stop your heart.

"504 GATEWAY ERROR.TIMED OUT."?

I noticed that too.

Seems to be getting a lot better now all of a sudden.

Fingers crossed.

I attempted to log on at 4 am my time and got the same 504 GATEWAY TIME OUT message... at first, I said to my self "... but how can this be, my roomate owns a HP?"... hadn't 'coffee'd up' yet.

Shouldn't you be practicing instead of bumming around the Internet? I know I should be.

I couldn't connect here last night (Sunday night) long enough to even look at one item. Now that I know other people were having problems, I take back all the nasty thoughts I directed towards my dial-up service.

This morning (local time) it was virtually impossible to get any page to load at all. it started to improve around two.

Same here, and then I triple posted as I kept getting that response and thought I'd lost everything. Even just now I still got the Gateway error thing, but my post posted OK.

Let me join the 504 Gateway Error chorus.

Last night I edited a post, but then spent about 45 minutes at repeated attempts to get it posted.

Eventually I got there, but it was a long battle.

Yeah I've been having that off and on, lately.

It's Dale's fault. Like Dr. Morbius, he's channeling a subliminal internet demon of the Id. Consciously, he says he wants the board to be up and running smoothly. But at night, while he sleeps, his overwhelming guilt for having created Chiff & Fipple overwhelms his psyche. His superhuman intelligence erupts free of its corporeal bounds, and attacks the very board of his own creation in the form of a hideous, invisible Gateway Error monster.

C'mon, Dale, fess up. You really ought to talk to a psychologist about this.

Perhaps we did not answer his questions three correctly.
