See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I've been checking my account and the filk account using POP3 via Pocomail, and the admin box using IMAP via Mozilla. As I said it's intermittent, and usually connects on a retry. The only times it hasn't are when the board's been AWOL, too.

Happened again. It was fine ten minutes later when the mail program tried again. Here are the messages I get:

We'll do some poking. See what we turn up.

In the Angel Spoilers Lite Thread, the Read New, Message Center, Set Profile, and View Bookmarks links were showing up on the righthand side of the posts, as well as the left. I went into the thread twice to check, and they were still there (pretty much directly across from the ones on the left). The third time I went in, they were gone.

Just thought I'd mention it, in case this is one of the horsemen of the apocalypse.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I just posted something with a font="-3' tag. Note the mismatched quotes. It screwed up the formatting of the entire page (expected), but when I went into editpost to fix it, the post button didn't work. I had to go back, delete the post and start over. I thought I'd fixed that bug some months ago. I'll look at the code in the next few days and see if I can figure out why it's still wonky.

t edit Cindy -- that was because of my mess.

Heee. Okay. I wondered if my kiss of death powers were now extending to the board, as well. Thanks Jon.

Okay, have you guys tried using webmail to access your mail during these outages? If not, next time it happens, see if you can get in that way. It'll help us to figure out which end the problem is originating from.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Was the Spike's Bitches subd created after the server move?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was, but there seems to have been a file copy issue -- I'll have to find the backup CD and recopy them over.

No, actually, it was not -- it's now spikesbitch.buffistas.org, like you requested so long ago, and I didn't do.

I'll e-mail you the login info.

edit: but not right now, since I don't have it on me.

Okay, cool. Thanks.
