    Re: what happened yesterday?...

    If it does happen again - or anything else stops us logging in there is a sister board we can all use as a stopgap

    It is called Lowcarb Bulletin Board at Low Carb Bulletin Board and is run/owned by Tom in addition to this and several other ones.

    It might be an idea to bookmark it and register there for emergencies!
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



    Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

        Thanks for the link to the sister board, Elizellen, because I didn't know it even existed. I haven't been able to get on since Tuesday and was trying to learn how to get along without all of you but still found myself sitting here, trying to get online. I'm so glad the problem has been fixed! Whew!

          I was so worried that I e-mailed Tom! I found his e-mail address on google! Anyway, I am glad to see you all. I felt really cut off as didn't have anyones personal e-mail.

          I googled several regulars but couldn't find a way to get in touch to see if anyone else was having problems.

          I just tried that link Ellizellen and it says 'the administrators have banned your IP address'! What??!!

            Ooh I don't know why that message would appear, unless one of the frequent spammers recently was logging on from the same ISP that you use.

            Maybe send a pm to Tom and ask him to fix it?

              I have sent a message to the administrator on that site so I guess Tom will get it. I was reading a huge history of problems between ADBB and spammers and clicked on to one of the named sites (didn't register) to search for ADBB members (with no success) so maybe that's it?!

                We really should have some way to contact members when the board is down because for all I knew at the time, I was the only one getting the message that the domain had expired. I couldn't be sure that it wasn't just some glitch on my end.

                I figured that if the whole board was down, we would get an email saying they knew about the problem and were working on it.

                Perhaps the moderators could have a list of addresses off the board of people who give their permission to be contacted if something goes wrong? Just a thought.

                  Go to Low Carb Bulletin Board if things go down.

                    Thanks Tom! I have gone there now and bookmarked the site so I will know what to do if there is a 'next time'. I didn't know we had a sister board before.

                      When I click that link I get the following message:
                      Sorry. The administrator has banned your IP address.

                      I haven't done anything for my IP address to be banned, I'm a good girl!
                      If there is a problem with this site again I'd hate to think I couldn't get on to the sister site.

                        I was in the same boat as a lot of you...having ADBB withdrawls! I had been trying to get on the all day Thursday and Friday to no avail. I was very happy when I clicked on my ADBB shortcut today and it popped up. It's so strange that some people couldn't get on starting Tuesday, but others could. I couldn't get on Thursday or Friday, but others were on. It seems it would be an all or none thing. Weird!

                        Anyway, I'm very happy to be back and felt a little lost without ADBB.

                        For any of you who are not "Supporting Members" and felt the same way I did (lost without ADBB!) I would suggest that you think about becoming a supporting member. So many of us rely on this site for knowledge, support, connection, motivation, reassurance, comfort, etc. It's really a nominal fee ~ $1.67 per month/5 cents per day! Wow, that's a bargain!

                          trust me it sucked from this end ...
                          They are giving me a hard time about it ... I complained about the spam site they put up. I mean come on .. I can see a nice splash site but that was like pure spam.
                          In the end I owed them $10 ( which was set to bill my CC automatically).

                            Hi Everyone,

                            I am still in the Induction Phase so I really missed the encouragement I find here. I sure am glad things are up and going again!
