hi,
Obviously all members have a free choice of action when they encounter a problem on the AAC site, but I am sure that Administration would appreciate being advised, it is possible Admin may not be aware of the problem.

Isn't there a more direct way of doing that without having to bring it to the attention of other members?

dl324 o/c u could PM member of Admin staff but since most site problems have potential 2 effect other users I say reports belong in public:)! Also that way it encourages other users to compare notes on thread which can help debugging/troubleshooting by establishing pattern:cool:!

You can't do that if you can't connect and I'm not sure I'd want hundreds of messages telling me that the website was down when I was trying to fix the problem. Staff must have a way to contact @jrap when the forum is down.

There are usually moderators or administrators on the site and reporting site issues is part of their job. Why clutter the forum with forum down messages? They should just display a banner that the forum is experiencing technical difficulties and that it's being addressed. Members will know that someone is working on the problem and they can go about their lives.

What's the point of saying "o/c u" instead of "of course you"? This isn't a text message or a tweet...

dl324 you are totally right abt that:oops:! It's bad habit I developed from living in like two _worlds_o_O! So anyhow I agree _expanded text_ is way more eloquent and mature!

dl324 if they already know what's going on they can just disregard thread so it's no distraction at all! But if solving problem is still in _troubleshooting phase_ multiple reports can totally help finding _common denominator_ if it's limited problem (which is most common):cool:!
