   In the interests of research I have just visited Chris Evans' Blog and tried to post there. Guess what? - I was 502'd!

   Eddie hinny, it hasn't ever been *you* that was cheesing off the people who couldn't post!

   Have a coffee and don't worry about it. Someone Else's Problem, ok? If it has looked as if I were getting at you personally, it wasn't meant that way.

   Hey, I won't even blame you for the 502 this just got! :-)

   It's a closed group - I've sent out a few invitations, but others welcome. Use Chez Jonnies if you can't get on.

   The Chris Evans ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio 2 trail is very good - well I think so

   /radio2/shows/evans/bb/evanstrail_16x9_bb.ram

   Perhaps Eddie can do one for ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio 4

    I think the problem is bigger than just the blogs - I've had tremendous difficulty with the listen again on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳7 since the weekend...it freqently bombs out after about a minute into the playback.

    Room 502, eh?

    (and sorry if this repeats)

    The coment seems to get posted if you wait long enough (even if you do get the 502 message). I think.

    Get you techie guys to look at the connection pooling... I think

    Anyway, I hope this one makes it in :)

    There is something utterly surreal about the comment that one has been forbidden to post turning up as a post on the frog, when one has been forbidden to post it.

    I actually did find that particular thing both arbitrary and offensive, as well as indicating that the place has problems that need addressing.

    Eddie, if you are still allowed to post, who do I send my brother round to thump?

    It is a shame you have suspended postings, I so wanted to use today's glass box to praise the light-hearted sign off to the "Deep-voiced men" item. Had me in stitches.

    Eddie -- for the sake of archiving purposes you should at least keep the Glassbox afloat?

    Yes it is frustrating when comments get lost or don't make it through but it does seem that the '502's do make it in the end.

    There is still blog chat continuing on various threads and also on the Refuge site which is linked at the top under:

    'Chat with Fellow Froggers'

    Marc who looks after various aspects of this blog has left this update on the 'Refuge Site' :-

    Hi folks. Apologies that the blog is unwell again. I have the explanation, but it's in tech-speak and I can't find my dictionary. We're working to sort it, and I really hope that normal, or what passes for normal, service will be resumed...soon. Ish. Marc

    Jonnie (19) trust me I share your frustration! This blog is supposed to work well and when it doesn't there are supposed to be systems and people in place to help. I've left a trail of apologies to the froggers in various threads since Monday, and first alerted others to the problem on Monday morning. The silence was deafening! Tried again on Tuesday and again yesterday. I didn't get a reply. That's why I left an apology on behalf of us all for letting down the people who use the blog. I felt a bit of a lone voice.
    Finally got things rolling yesterday afternoon and just before transmission we got word about the problem which is in essence that things are very very slow, riddled with errors but not broken. Sadly we couldn't say HOW things would be fixed or when. There are now lots of people offering to help and I'm very grateful to them. It's my hope that we can be up and running again soon. But I'm reluctant to return with a broken blog! Again, thanks for your patience. I'm sorry mine has been tested quite so much!

    Eddie (22), don't worry. We'll all still be here when things get sorted out. Now why don't you come down to the NCMB on the beach, and have a sip of whatever you fancy :)

    I think the same people look after our systems! I'm finding caffeine and chocolate muffins help matters and everything we try works eventually.

    Some system is better than no system and I think you have to be a little philosophical about it all. I'll leave my little book of cocktails behind the NC bar. Don't let DIY distract you with a screaming virgin!

    And no, it was not meant to be malicious - still, better than being sent to Room 502....
