I'm assuming TTOL has been experiencing not just issues, but MAJOR issues for the past few days, so on behalf of myself and those who emailed me asking about the status of the forum, let me say I'm glad you've been able to 'fix' whatever ran amok. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Hi Pat. Thanks. It wasn't our equipment, internet provider issue...Hopefully should be OK now. We have had the same provider for ten years, had no issues until the past couple of months. Perhaps time to look for a new provider..

OMG....I was getting really worried! I felt so cut off from information, and ability to plan for Saturday arrival.

Glad you are back. I'm sure it was utterly frustrating for the Hills.

Just remember, Carol - "Sometimes the devil that you know....." So you might want to wait for a bit and see how things go before you make any major decisions and/or changes. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Their customer service--or lack thereof--was absolutely abysmal.. Wanted to put my fist through a wall, several times.

Thanks and glad it is back.

There was concern shown regarding TTOL on a couple of the facebook groups. I appreciate the members concern and also the ability to update what information I had.

We are here now sitting at Brother's on Orient waiting on lunch. We thought that wifi where we are staying had the site blocked. Glad all is well.

Although I am not a frequent contributor, I enjoy visiting the site often. As painful as it was for me, I'm sure it doesn't begin to compare to the frustration you must have experienced. Sorry that had to happen and thank you for providing this wonderful resource. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Louise--thanks for your concern. Our email server is connected to the same connection that the bulletin board is, so we also had no email...

Grilled grouper, rice & peas and a salad. $12. It was delicious. We asked for some creole sauce for our fish. They provided at no charge. Our first time there. We will return.

Wow!
We forgot how important our TTOL fix was to our survival.
Thanks for your return.
We have cancelled our order for Jim Jones Cool Aid.

Eric, you mean Frontier as they bought it out from Verizon last spring.

Ok sorry, I thought your servers were in Florida. I heard bad things about Frontier's take over of the former Verizon service areas. Hope they get better.

No, they're not, as of now. We need to get them down here though. Frontier stinks, big time.
