FF.NET

[bk_forever]

Is anyone else unable to access ff.net? When I try, I just get a message saying their security certificate has been revoked and denying me access - I post there daily, I have friends there who review my stories daily, I have fics I read there, and so may people have followed and favourited my stories, so now I'm freaking out that it's been taken away from me! I've tried on both windows internet explorer and google chrome, but neither will allow me to access the site =(

I have just signed in as usual.
Try later. I have also accessed your stories.

I stay logged in all the time, I just can't access the site at all, I can't even reply to comments. No idea what's going on

=(

Nope, it won't come up for me, either, although I did access it yesterday.

[bk_forever]

I was on there yesterday too, I am every day because I post there, nearly 100 people there are following my Torchwood drabble collection, and now not only am I unable to reply to reviews, I can't post anything either. I hate being denied access to one of my sites =(

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Hopefully it will be back up soon. Just keep thinking good thoughts.

I've sent a message to their email helpline, they need to get their security errors sorted and get re-certified fast. Some people can still access the site, presumably those with lower internet security, and I can access it through firefox where I'm not logged in, but I keep myself logged in on the browsers I use the most because it's such a hassle logging in and out every day. I seldom use firefox so that's why I can still get to the site there, but I can't even access it elsewhere in order to log out =/

The internet is my link to the outside world, so when anything interferes with even a bit of that, it stresses me out =(

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

It might just be the server that handles your end. It popped right up for me just now and I was logged in. My advice is to keep trying.

[bk_forever]

I'm still getting told their security certificate has been revoked. Even restarting my computer made no difference. It's so weird =(

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it has for Great Britain? No idea what's going on.

I just got in with no probem at all. Have you tried logging out and logging back in again? I've had to do that with sites before, although if you can't reach the site at all, that's useless. Are you following a link? Try just typing in fanfiction.net into your address bar. That's worked for me before when a link was somehow not working right. Good luck.

[bk_forever]

I can't access the site, so I can't log out to log in again. I've tried various ways, but I get the same response - their security certificate has been revoked, and my security won't allow me access. It's so frustrating! I've been trying on and off all day, and I haven't been able to post today's fics. =(

I might have to wait until I'm automatically logged out so I can try logging in again, but that could be anywhere up to two weeks. *sigh*

Aside from just typing their address in, I have also tried rebooting my computer because sometimes the glitch is somewhere in there. I know that seems impossible, but computers are weird, weird, weird. Do you have a backup computer, or a smartphone you can try logging in from, or a neighbor with a computer. If the rest (or most of us) an get in, I would say it has to be something from your end that's causing the problem. Maybe your computer is reading the certificate wrong. Sometimes, I really, really want to put my laptop in a bathtub full of water, get it out, dry it off nicely, stomp on it several times, whack it with a sledgehammer, and then throw it out the window. I am on the second floor and it's all street and sidewalk down below, so good hard surfaces. I have not done any of this yet, but I have been sooooo close.

[bk_forever]

I've tried rebooting, but no go, and several other people elsewhere are having problems... I just hope it'll sort itself out, because otherwise I'm stuck, at least until the site logs me out, then maybe I can see if I can connect and log in again. I have to log in on each browser though =/

[bk_forever]

Me neither, but some other people seem to be having problems too. At least it's not just me. Frustrating though - first day in two years that I haven't posted anything there.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sure they will understand. it's not your fault.

[bk_forever]

Here's hoping. And now my email is down for scheduled maintenance, just to add to my problans *rolls eyes*

[bk_forever]

They've fixed it!

It was a nuisance having to post 4 fics there today instead of the usual two though.

I love Janto

I was freaking out when I could get you.
There are those of us that worry about you, when you don't come up.

There are only two people that updates today.
So it might not just be you.

I hope it comes up soon.
I am glad, not for the first time, I can get to you this way.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

So was I because I couldn't tell you what was going on. It's so frustrating not being able to access the site or post my fics, but it's worse not being able to let anyone know why =(

I really hope whatever's going on gets sorted soon.

Re: I love Janto

I hope that it gets fixed soon.
Not like the last few times, when it takes days,

I am a worrier, Now I know that you a fine I am better.
Pissed but fine.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

*hugs* I hate worrying you, but it's good to know that someone notices if I'm missing =)

I'm going to have a heck of a backlog to post at ff.net if they don't get everything sorted quickly!

Re: I love Janto

[(Anonymous)]

You're welcome:)
I am not the only one.

I will notice.
Yeah you will. I hope that it does not last days.

Re: I love Janto

[bk_forever]

You're not, but you're definitely among the first to check on me. =)

You're not going to believe this, but now I can't reply to reviews on ff.net *headdesk* Why can't they fix that bug so it stays fixed?

[m-findlow.livejournal.com]

I've had problems getting in over the past couple of days too, but it was all LJ sites, not just mine. I just figured they were play funny buggers and would get themselves sorted eventually. Annoying but not much we can do I suppose.

[bk_forever]

Thankfully, whatever was wrong on ff.net is fixed now, so I can access the site. I HATE when I can't get into one of the sites I use. One time, my computer locked me out of all my sites - LJ, dreamwidth, ff.net, teaspoon, AO3 - because they're social networking sites, and the parental control thing my broadband supplier offers us had decided to block them all even though I didn't have it turned on! Took a very long phone call to get that fixed!
