I disagree, this outage was not as great as the Dark Age, when YWS was down for a period of months for financial reasons.

I'm still glad that YWS is back though.

It was traumatizing. I had to eat a lost, wandering n00b for sustenance in the interim.

Am I the only one for whom the portfolios do not work? I weep in anguish. Please tell me. :cry:

The first time I got back on after the Outage, I got the searches and portfolios to work fine and I was like :elephant: :elephant: :elephant:
But now it's back to not working again and I'm like :cry: But I'm glad it's not just my computer. :)
Home is where the books are.

They're sort of up and down. Every now and then they'll be fine but then they're gone again =(

I have my own way of coping. Notice the sig... Plus the fact that after a while, you learn to live without searches and portfolios. You learn links in certain signitures that will get you to certain forums or that link to yet another sory. =] I'm cool with it as long as it's up again soon enough. I want to put something other than that in my signiture...

That's not a bad idea except that it's other people's portfolios that I want to get my hands on. Now if everyone put all their work in their signatures... Lol.

Typical - the day it comes back on is the day I leave for France. But I'm back, and yay! Now I only have 1657 posts to work my way through... without the 'new posts' link. This should be fun.
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

:dredges up the thread:

Thank you SO much, Nate!
I got through GPB block because of that break, though now I remember what separation anxiety is like. O-o

:throws confetti up and runs around hugging everybody:

Cheers to Nate, us addicts and YWS!
