Posting problem?

[Normal Wisdom]

Is there any problem with the forum at the moment? I am unable to post anything longer than a couple of sentences.

[Burnaby49]

Same here. Including PMs.

[Burnaby49]

When I try to post on discussions or send PMs I get;

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

when I hit submit. After that I can't even get back on Q for a few minutes.

I haven't noticed, but I also haven't posted anything today. So this is a test.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Is this long enough to count?

[wserra]

No problem. I'll cut and paste some Van Pelt. If anything will cause the server to glitch, that should be it.

Actually the Treasury had issued $300 million in 'lawful money' after FDR called in the gold in 1933; the banksters sold half in Europe and kept the profits, Congress spent half of their half, and $300 million in gold (valued at $42/ounce) was retained to back the lawful money. It is inelastic and may not be used for reserves for fractional reserve banking, which is what the Federal Reserve notes are for. So 'lawful money', US Treasury notes, represent value, wealth, while Federal Reserve notes are debt obligations. While the two types of notes circulate concurrently, and trade at par, Treasury notes are 'backed' by gold (not redeemable in gold), while FRN's are backed by a lien on the future labor and income taxes of the US government's 14th Amendment 'citizens.' 12 USC Sections 415 and 417 make it clear that FRN's are not 'lawful money'. Since 1938 the courts have tended to interpret history to conveniently suit the Federal government's desire to become a totalitarian state, and to provide confusion so the uninformed citizenry will not figure out the remedy offered by Section 411. Both notes are legal tender, but there is a world of difference between wealth as money and debt as money (debt is the money of slaves). The demand to use lawful money per 12 USC 411 is asking for the $300 million of inelastic currency issued by the US Treasury, not the debt instruments issued by the Federal Reserve.

Strange. I can still post no more than 4 lines without it freezing. Managed to add one more line by editing the post afterwards.

Browser versions?

Browser versions?

I tried on both IE and Firefox. Everything was fine until about midnight last night.

I find Van Pelt's rapture over United States Notes puzzling -- even for him -- because they were created as what might be called the "original fiat currency". They were backed by no form of precious metal, or indeed by anything except the full faith and credit of the US government.

And let's see if it works ...

Preview works ... let's try the real deal ...

And this edit to note that it works. Using Firefox.

It is not a "problem"

It is a newly implemented feature.

It only impacts members who have been deemed to be worthy of curtailed posts.

It seems to be affecting our international users. Anyone else experiencing this kind of problem?

[Pottapaug1938]

I had a problem, earlier tonight.

Bad news JV, I'm back up. Thanks to Webhick's magic I think. She gave me a bunch of computer instruction to do some trace thing or other that I somehow managed to follow which resulted in a batch of gibberish which might as well have been Sanskrit for all the sense it made to me. I sent that to her and here I am inflicting myself on you once again. If you've got a problem with that blame Webhick!

I did absolutely nothing except go to bed since I had to be up for work at 3. tracert is a diagnostic tool, not a repair tool so it didn't fix the problem.

[Burnaby49]

Blame Webhick anyhow. Maybe the net knew she was on the case and conceded gracefully.

I don't have the kind of access necessary to troubleshoot and fix that.
