Horror of Horrors! Gremlins! Now!


Sacre Blue!

Heavens to Murgatroyd!

Oh, flippin’ ‘eck!

I’m having MAJOR problems accessing WordPress this evening. So close to Halloween as well. I’m hoping that things are down to a little glitch on the system – the help forums are being bombarded by some kind of escort service, but I can’t get on to them now.

Boo!

I can’t view my own site, but I can get onto the Support page, and from there I’ve found a quick post option, which I’m trying now.

Aaarggghhh!!!

I can get onto the stats page as well, so it doesn’t look as though everything is down, but I can’t get onto the main reason for blogging -my site, and the sites I follow. “Oops!” Declares Google, with other browsers telling me the page can not be displayed – after about half an hour of trying to connect. Occasionally, that is. Other times, I see a blank white screen.

Shriek!

I shall try a little later… but in the meantime, I hope this posts. I’ve done so well this month, posting everyday… the last thing I need is for a technological blip to scupper my marathon now! (And here’s hoping the blip doesn’t last as long as the five weeks it took during the Summer to resolve…)

Sigh.

    I wonder if the Halloween spirits are messing with you, Tom? Hope things get sorted out for you.

    Poor Tom! There is definitely an evil spirit haunting your blog – I hope you find a way to appease it soon.

    Clearly your computer’s possessed or maybe it’s protesting your 31 days of Halloween-themed posts. This could be the biggest fight since Ali-Frazier, Tom!

      Maybe, LA… but it seems to have either backed down or the possession was repelled. Things seem OK now. Still touching wood though…

    I had the same problems yesterday and I couldn’t access my own blog today, but managed to post using the WordPress editor.

    Even so I couldn’t check my blog to see if it posted OK… 😦

    This sucks!!! 😦

    God Bless!

    Usually when you experience stuff across the pond we are doing okay and vice versa. Guess we have troubles ahead for us after you get squared away. I hope for your sake it is quick!!! We have all waited so long for the journey to the basement. You’ll have to post the trip this way maybe minus the photos….eeek!!!!! We want to see them…..Good luck…VK

    You had the odd issue or two then? lol 😉 Hmm…I spent the night live chatting with Vodafone mobile broadband support trying to find out why I’m getting messages telling me I’m £20 over my limit (5Gb/month) when I’ve only used 3Gb according to the device! Didn’t get far other than to establish the billing cycle’s changed and now I’ve got to stretch my allowance another 2wks to get it started…it’s supposed to reset tonight so I may not know what the halloween I’m using for the next 2wks! Of course I can’t access my billing account…gremlins…and I have a headache!!! A really big, bad one!!! Zombies!!!!!! This morning customer services said I wasn’t over the limit…the messages are lying 😉 But I don’t know if I can reset the useage chart to restart 16 Nov instead of tonight!!!! Gremlins, zombies and frogs legs in a big boiling, bubbling cauldron!!!!!!!!! lol 😉 Still.. at least W.P is letting me in!

      So it wasn’t only little old me affected by the gremlins then. Hope yours have been resolved now, Icewolf. And that your headache has gone!
      Lying text messages? Whatever next?
