Subject: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Bugsy Date: 28 Nov 00 - 12:57 AM I don't know if it's just me or if everyone else is having the same problems. The only way I can get into Mudcat these days is to use loki. That get's me in but won't allow me to go to any of the quick links ie resourse pages, messages since your last visit, personal pages etc. It's becoming a real pain. I submitted some photo's of the headshave event to Pene, for the resourse pages, around 2 weeks ago and can't check to see if they have been posted yet. Can anyone give me any ideas as to how to access these pages PLEASE> Cheers

Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: katlaughing Date: 28 Nov 00 - 01:03 AM Bugsy, everyone has been having problems and Max is on vacation. Jeri put in a link for personal page access in a thread of titled "personal messages." When loki jumps to a link, it automatically goes back to the non-fucntioning mudcat/shorty. If you go up to the addy which isn't right, when you click to resources or your personal page and replace the www with loki, I think that it will work for you. Hope this helps, kat |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: katlaughing Date: 28 Nov 00 - 01:04 AM Oops, sorry, that only works for personal pages, not for the resources. |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Sorcha Date: 28 Nov 00 - 01:05 AM It's not just you, bugs. loki is the only server for Mudcat on line just now, and most of the other pages are on shorty. There is a link to the loki personal pages on eht help forum, posted by Jon Freeman that will get you into your personal pages, but it is is a pain in the butt to do that. What are we going to do if loki goes down too? BTW, bugs, did you get my contribution yet? I sent it snail mail in AUS dollars cash, about 3 weeks ago.......... |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Bugsy Date: 28 Nov 00 - 01:10 AM Sorcha, Littlefolk got 3or4 donations from USA,(read MUDCAT), unfortunately, I did not get to see them but can check for you if you wish. I was told of them as they arrived but did not know the names as I only know everyone by their mudcat nickname. CHeers Bugsy |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Jon Freeman Date: 28 Nov 00 - 03:51 AM The resources one is a little more complicated as loki points to http://loki.mudcat.org/link.cfm?url=http%3A%2F%2Fshorty.mudcat.org%2Fphotos. This is pointing to link.cfm and asking some form of query. Changing "shorty" into "loki" yields what I would have guessed the loki version of the resources page is i.e. http://loki.mudcat.org/photos but this provides a page not found error. It could be that the resources pages do not exist on loki or that this URL is wrong - does anyone have a bookmarked version of the Resources URL (even if it says www)? Jon |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Jon Freeman Date: 28 Nov 00 - 04:10 AM Just found the answer to the resources in /thread.CFM?threadID=27770. To quote from Max: "...Anyhow, you will also notice that some of the features run exlusively through shorty.mudcat.org, this is the temporary solution to keep the auction, radio and resources the same no matter what machine you end up on. Currently those three features are only able to work on Shorty..." Jon |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 28 Nov 00 - 05:31 AM I only found out about loki anmd shorty and ragtime long after I'd been coming to teh Mudcat for ages. I'm sure there msut be hordes of 'catters who haven't any idea about all this stuff, and are shut out in the real world, assuming that the whole operation has gone pearshaped.
Maybe once this is sorted out it might be possible to have a mass email to people putting them in the picture. If so it would be a very good idea.
I've bookmarked all the connections, together with the "help and advice" URL and the songbook. But at present I'm unable to get anything but "Connection refused" on the Digital Tradition button, which is serious. |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Wolfgang Date: 28 Nov 00 - 05:48 AM Why a mass email? It's so quiet here. I like it this way (except for all those things that do not work). Wolfgang |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 28 Nov 00 - 06:31 AM I'm thinking of all those suicidal Mudcatters jumping off the roofs of carparks and so forth. |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Snuffy Date: 28 Nov 00 - 08:39 AM Every cloud has a silver lining. At least we aren't getting many "I've been looking for the words to The Wild Rover for 30 years - can anyone help me?" postings.

Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Jeri Date: 28 Nov 00 - 10:19 AM Suggestion: bookmark/add to favorites the Help Forum so you can get there without clicking on the link above. I posted links to the three different servers there, and Jon Freeman posted a link to the personal pages. You could also bookmark the three differents servers. Right now, I think the only people who can get into Mudcat are those that have been around for a while and can manage to get into either the Help Forum or Loki. It may be peaceful, but we're missing questions about music, I think. |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Nov 00 - 11:34 AM The other day when I checked in on loki, the daily page was down to about 20 threads. Looked really odd to scroll down and end REAL shortly. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Bert Date: 28 Nov 00 - 11:38 AM Yup, there's some weird problem with Shorty. He appears to be working alright, he's not thrashing and there's plenty of memory but you just can't get into Mudcat. If you reboot him everything appears the same but Mudcat starts working again. Bert. |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Bill D Date: 28 Nov 00 - 11:42 AM what I think is that Max has Shorty sub-let to Florida to count ballots, and it has blown his circuits! |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Midchuck Date: 28 Nov 00 - 11:59 AM As of this instant, I am connected through Shorty, but it's the first time today, and I don't know what will happen the next time I try... Peter. |

Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Iarf Date: 28 Nov 00 - 12:07 PM I am having problems with Mudcat. Keep getting NT server error and I have been looking for the words to Wild Rover for 30 years . Can anyone help me?...:-) |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: GUEST,Matt Date: 28 Nov 00 - 12:10 PM I didn't know Max was on vacation! |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Bert Date: 28 Nov 00 - 12:18 PM Yup, he's off on a well earned break. So there will be no Mudcat Radio tonight. |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Midchuck Date: 28 Nov 00 - 12:31 PM In fact, according to his own statement on the radio last week, he's out with a gun, trying to murder Bambi. Nyuck, Nyuck, Nyuck. Peter. |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Noreen Date: 28 Nov 00 - 12:34 PM Iarf- I thought you knew the words- you've been singing the Wild Rover at every opportunity for the last 30 years... |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Iarf Date: 28 Nov 00 - 12:40 PM Ooooh....got me right in the truth zone...Good shot Noreen (nice name). |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: MMario Date: 28 Nov 00 - 12:58 PM A lot of people who sing songs haven't the vaguest idea what the words are. (I know, I'm a prime example) ande it's always fun on wild rover to throw in a few "what never? well hardly ever!" |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: annamill Date: 28 Nov 00 - 01:05 PM I've been having problems getting into Mudcat a lot recently, but I always go away faithful that it wll be back soon. ... I do miss it though. Love, annamill |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Jeri Date: 28 Nov 00 - 01:28 PM Iarf, it's not that song that goes: I've played Irish music for many a year I've hung out in the pubs drinkin' whiskey and beer If you ask for that song I'll throw you out the door For I -never- will play "The Wild Rover" no more! CHORUS: And it's NO! NAY! NEVER!/// Right Up Your Kilt! /// No nay never no more! Will I play "The Wild Rover" No never, no more! (That one's by Joe Bethancourt.) |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Little Neophyte Date: 28 Nov 00 - 01:33 PM So where did Max go for his holidays? Don't tell me he went to Hawaii without me! Little Neo |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Noreen Date: 28 Nov 00 - 03:20 PM Good one, Jeri! I'm trying to write my own version after buying my first car that is ALL MINE: a white Rover... Noreen |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: kendall Date: 28 Nov 00 - 03:30 PM Wild Rover must be in the dt right? |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Bill D Date: 28 Nov 00 - 03:37 PM Max needs a satellite connection and a laptop in his deer shooting blind...who wants to take one out to him? *grin* *blam*...'reboot shorty'....**BLAM**...re-index Super search ****BLAM***...."drink beer"...re-boot Max... |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 28 Nov 00 - 07:06 PM Well right now "shorty" is back, as well as "loki" - but "ragtime" is refusing to allow us in. But the most important thing is that the "random" connection seems to be working again.
So if that keeps up we can expect the crowds back in. But there may be some people who have decided that the Mudcat must have sunk to the bottom and never come up, and they're wandering round in a daze trying to drown their sorrows. |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Song Dog Date: 28 Nov 00 - 07:20 PM Good boy Shorty, (Pat Pat) |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Bugsy Date: 28 Nov 00 - 07:26 PM Thanks Jon for the link. It worked fine. Still no photo's though. Must be that Pene is on vac too. Oh, and Sorcha, I just received an email saying that some money came via Sydney AUS. Is that yours? I have asked them to email me all details of overseas and interstate donations. Can you pm me with your details so I can check them off. Cheers Bugsy |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: reggie miles Date: 28 Nov 00 - 09:33 PM Whew, I thought for a long while that I was being excommunicated for foolin' with my thread seeking lyric help. It was only temporary insanity I assure you. Makes me fell a lot better knowing that I'm not alone with these difficulties trying to access the site. I'm having all my favorites bookmarks to the site telling me there are errors and sending me to an impossible to get through page. I just keep getting looped back to this page over and over again. Glad to be back in the fold. |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: rangeroger Date: 28 Nov 00 - 10:08 PM Noreen, are you going to get a personalized license plate that says DOG ? That way you can have a Rover named dog. rr |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Lonesome EJ Date: 29 Nov 00 - 12:06 AM I've had some problems getting on,in addition to having very little time available for Mudcatting at this time of year.I'll keep checking in when possible. LEJ |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Noreen Date: 29 Nov 00 - 01:10 PM LOL! Thanks for the thought, rr :0) but I don't fancy being too intimately associated with the term 'dog'... Noreen |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: annamill Date: 29 Nov 00 - 01:41 PM Say, isn't Loki the name of a Nordic god of mischief? That explains it all! Love, annamill |
Subject: RE: BS: BOY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MUDCAT From: Sorcha Date: 29 Nov 00 - 01:59 PM Anna, that thought occured to me a LONG time ago.....!! LOL! bugsy, PM's are a real booger to acess right now, but I sent 2 $5 Aus bills to the Western Aust. address, from Wyoming, USA. Need anything else? |
