• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Site slow or unreachable at times

Sorry gents, I haven't given up yet.

The issue (I believe, at the moment, have been wrong,) is super time consuming to implement a fix for.

Am chipping away at it.
Can't even throw money at the problem, just needs elbow grease.
 
I have been blocked from accessing this site at all for a couple of weeks now. Kept trying though. Kept getting a " you do not have permission to access this resource" message. At one point the message changed and said the website was off line. No problems with my other connections. Suddenly this morning I'm able to get on again. It was as if my IP address changed because I had to reconfirm my ID with some other sites and then I discovered I had access to this forum again.
 
Today it is responding well, but for the past 4 days, including yesterday, not nice at all...

What internet provider do you use?
 
The only thing I noted was I tried to just upload some 3.5 Mb pics and it said that was too big - no dice. I reduced them to sat 600Kb and it was Ok
