What's going on with MR?

I just looked and was able to get there:

http://trc.trains.com/events.aspx

Try again.

I have no problem getting to that page. It’s after I fill out the form, answer all the questions and try to submit the form to post my flea market info, that it all falls apart. [:(!]

I sometimes have the same problem when writing a long forum reply. In technical terms, the TCP timeout is set too low, or else it is mismatched between the load balancer fronting the web servers and the web servers themselves. I have seen this problem with other applications when these settings aren’t correctly configured (it’s part of my day job).

Type faster, or have as much of the information remembered, or typed up in Notepad to quickly copy and paste in, and it will probably work.

That may be one of the issues Randy, but there may be other issues also. I clicked on the Coming Events, then clicked on Swap Meets, then looked at page one. I got to the bottom of the page and clicked on next page and got the very same notice that I had gotten trying to post my flea mkt details. Definitely something screwy going on.

i recently had to call Customer Service to change my email (thanks Steve Otte).

despite the fact that there there is a public email entry in your profile, your email address used as a login is used for forum email.

i did as customer service said created a new login with my new email, but i needed a username. Of course when I tried entering my existing user name, it said it was already taken.

ironically, i had received a newsletter from MR using the updated email in my profile. But the forum is apparently separate from the MR magazine website.

fortunately, customer service, which of course is under contract to MR and many other magazines, understood the dilema and reassigned my username to my new email/login.

but usernames are unique to logins. I see i no longer have a username associated with my old email/login. Wonder how many useless accounts there are.
