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.

Great! So looking forward to seeing some of those outstanding pictures from 'home'!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Breathe. Just breathe!!

You must've emptied the wine cellar. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Need to make another trip to the liquor store, for sure!!

OMG!!! I was going through major withdrawal symptoms! Welcome back!!!

I NEED my SXM fix, this close to our trip, I need it BAD! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />

Verizon is now onsite also, so they are going to be doing some testing.

Thank you Carol and Eric

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.

thanks for your help, as always, JD!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Thank goodness you are back!!!!!

Glad to have this great source of information back

Ok, we need an updated picture to see how much hair you pulled out over the past few days. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

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.

Great! What's for lunch???

Glad to see you back. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

I thought that my computer went crazy! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" /> They are even asking about you on TripAdvisor. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> LOL. Welcome back!!

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="" />

Welcome Back TTOL. I was twitching from TTOL withdrawal. All is right in the world again

I thought it was something I said.

So glad things are fixed now. Four days is way too long to be without TTOL!

Yes, I was going through TTOL withdrawals but more importantly was concerned about Carol & Eric. Glad to have heard back from Carol all is good.

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...

Welcome back, it's clear you guys are a big part of many people's lives.

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.
Tom and Lisa

You were missed!!

Welcome back, Lotsan. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> You've been missed.

I thought you guys moved and didn't tell me <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> - so glad you are back and all is well! You were missed. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Nice to see you here again. Welcome back to you also! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks. I seriously thought Ttol vanished in my absence! Now that it's back up and running as usual, I'll see what I've missed out on.

"Verizon is now onsite also, so they are going to be doing some testing."

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

Actually, not in Northern Virginia. It's actually still Verizon there.. But don't get me started on Frontier, as they s*ck here in Florida...

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.
