MUMSNET....Why do you keep crashing?

65 replies

DaisyNightingale · 27/11/2007 23:10

Mumsnet why do you keep crashing?
It really leaves me bashing
At the keys

It's certainly frustrating
To keep us addicts waiting
On our knees

You gave us custom talkboards
Then randomly they won't load
You're a tease

We want to talk to our mates
See the MN jury fix fates
If you please

So Tech just get it fix-ed
Or mice they might have clicke-ed....
....On Netmums

ibroughtcake · 27/11/2007 23:12

lololol

SheepishPeachesMcLean · 27/11/2007 23:13

Crikey, you were bored weren't you

I went and looked at UK Parents Lounge. It was awful

moondog · 27/11/2007 23:13

Yes,happens a lot these days doesn't it?

Pull yer finger out Tech.

EmsMum · 27/11/2007 23:14

Its to remind us we have lives

I got round to checking out DD's school's revamped website and somewhat accidentally
snopes.coms piece on The Golden Compass. Which annoyed me considerably. I've always thought snopes was a site dedicated to rational unpicking of urban myths, but this seemed like a biased review.

DaisyNightingale · 27/11/2007 23:16

well what else was there to do, and I was feeling creative

I managed to join the NCT, e-mail for info on becoming a peer supporter, do some Christmas shopping and send an e-mail as well, so it was quite a productive evening by my usual "glued to MN" standard!

A thousand apologies - I don't know what happened but am sure Tech will be along soon for some universal flagellation.

S1ur · 27/11/2007 23:18

Yeah, bloody forcing us to talk to people in rl

ShakeysGirl · 27/11/2007 23:25

I had a look on netmums ~ its quite different to here... But it is local so theres potental to meet up with mums in your area which is a plus

SheepishPeachesMcLean · 27/11/2007 23:29

I read the rules on Parents Lounge. You're not allowed to discuss other websites. You can debate as long as you stay on topic and it doesn't at AT ALL personal. And it was full of glittery things. There was another website with a recent actions list on it
"5.45. Cuddlymum hugged fluffy mum"
"6.30. Fluffymum hugged mummy123"
etc...

LydiaTheTattooedLapin · 27/11/2007 23:32

Oh, I'd like to THANK Tech, I got loads done

dd666 · 27/11/2007 23:34

i have been trying over an hour to get on
went on cow and gatee site instead

brimfull · 28/11/2007 07:37

Well could I join in the flagellation of tech,couldn't get on at ALL last night

annobalthebignosereindeer · 28/11/2007 07:47

Your talents are definitely wasted as an engineer Daisy

southeastastra · 28/11/2007 08:10

it did happen when that orange ad was on again

LedodgyDickinson · 28/11/2007 08:42

I could get onto the home page but not onto talk if that happens again is it possible to put something on the homepage so we know it's not just our computers?

LedodgyDickinson · 28/11/2007 08:43

I couldn't get on all last night either for the last two weeks it keeps happening at some point in the day.

Walnutshell · 28/11/2007 08:48

I think this is just Tech looking for a bit of attention. He's totally overworked and he's only a man.

Tech · 28/11/2007 09:42

Hi all, sorry about last night's collapse. We are investigating what went on. We will probably need to go offline overnight tonight for an hour or so to make some changes, but we'll post a warning beforehand. It will probably be around 4 or 5 am, when there are normally only very few people around. Thanks (and sorry again).

policywonk · 28/11/2007 09:45

It might be time to get Tech an underpaid work-experience assistant or something before he collapses from exhaustion in the manner of Lindsay Lohan.

OliviaMumsnet · 28/11/2007 09:46

Hi ShakeysGirl

We're sorry that the technical error sent you elsewhere briefly but we thought we'd let you know that Mumsnet has a local section. If you click here you can choose the area nearest to you.

You'll be able to see all the best local amenities to you, from indoor play and baby massage, Scouts and ballet, nurseries and partyplanners as well as spas and health clubs all as recommended by MNers.

There's a list of what's on in your area and the opportunity to meet local mums there as well as on the local talk boards.
Hope this helps
MNHQ

ShakeysGirl · 28/11/2007 11:33

Lol thanks. I only very briefly looked at netmums - i haven't bookmarked it like i have mumsnet promise!

Kathyis6incheshigh · 28/11/2007 11:35

I used the time to rebuild my failing marriage.

(didn't have sex or anything - I just mean I actually talked to my dh)

Tech · 28/11/2007 11:53

The eagle-eyed may have noticed we just went away for a couple seconds. That was partly to fix what happened last night. We'll leave it alone the rest of the day now....

LydiaTheTattooedLapin · 28/11/2007 11:55

LOL, I just emailed Justine to complain
