Jake,

thanks for getting into this.



There are two big problems.



The first is that there are people who can't download items and/or access the site at all. I'm quoting people's messages about their problems below.



The second one is that it seems to be a massive item deletion going on. We weren't notified about this in any way. It would be polite if we were told about such important actions before you actually implement them. This is causing major problems in all sites that link to SCG's items. We are losing many views.

Internet Explorer: 6.0.2900.2180

FireFox: 2.0.0.6

Even with the link provided, I still get the "time out" alert.

I've also tried "pinging" the site from the command prompt with the same result, Time outs for the time allotted.

Just to be clear, I was able to download from ShareCG as recently as July 3, 2007, but since that time, I can not access the base domain, let alone any individual members' pages.

Sincerely,

Bill

OK I use IE6.2 I think, I had the newest version before 7. Also I would gladly supply links if it didn't freeze my puter every time a file doesn't want to download. I am in Northern Nevada and connect with SBC global straight fast DSL/No yahoo on board here! So i long directly into IE, and surf from there.

Here is what happens when I try...

you hit the DOWNLOAD, and the small progress bar at the bottom of the page loads 1/3 of the way and freezes. It will not allow you to back out, close down the Share CG window or exit in any way. You must use Ctrl/Alt/Delete to close down IE altogether.

Which is a shame because I more posted here out of frustration about the download site and altho I RARELY use freebies. Some are so darn outstanding, they are "Must Haves"~! I am surprised that Deskars loaded without a hitch! But nothing else. I don't know if it is too many people accessing the site at once and thier servers aren't up to that load, but as redfern stated, it is arbetrary if and what file will work. That tells me it is them. Plus i just got a download from Mirandus-Arts, and that file was corrupt, she just e-mailed me I was the second one to tell her and yet over several hundred had no issues!

So I do not know if I am up to trying to go through every single link. It does say something that I am not the only one with an issue. It says that many may not think it is worth reporting OR that they never thought to report it here!!!

Lastly I signed up to join and never got access or acknowledgement! So that also tells me it is a site issue.

HuggerZ!
