MESSAGES: WELCOME, NOTIFICATIONS AND URGENT

As FFZ e-mail warnings are working badly... and, I'm sure, we forget to check if we receive messages, I create this folder to post here our warnings about private FFZ e-mails.

Te envié una FZZ e-mail.
Besitos!!!

Gloria - Gracias!!! He contestado....

Guys, I will be gone for the rest of the day - leaving very early just now mfor a seminar upstate (Albany). I'll be back tomorrow.

I'm pleased about this thread, because it's true that reminders that we have FFZ mail do not always appear.
We may need to contact a forum member and can't get them either by ordinary e-mail [I think we all have problems with our e-mail from time to time - I certainly do!] or by MSN.

We have a thread like this in the Italian section since the beginning of the forum but... never it's too late!

... Eva. You have a FFZ e-mail.

Ciaoooo!!!!!

An FFZ message waiting for you Gloria...

Ciao!!!

Hoffentlich werde ich zwischen 7 und 8 heute Abend am MSN sein.
Kannst Du dann mitsprechen?

Alle Liebe - Mary xxxxxx

Maryjos -

That sounds like a great opportunity. I wish I could take you up on it, but I'm going to Rome in November and December. Is Papa saying the Mass?

Janice - yes, Papa is celebrating the Mass. It's a shame I decided not to go. I've been wondering whether or not to go to Rome at all before the end of the year. So pleased to hear you will be there. For how long are you going? Will it be your first time there?
I've tried to FFZ mail you, but can't get into your profilo. Please FFZ me, as I don't like to put my e-mail address on the forum.

mary, please have also a look in your junk-mail-folder at wanadoo - it's NO !

Flo- I have sent you an FFZ mail. Please look in your inbox.
Love, Mary

hi Mary

Yes, I got it and I answered. At least, I think I did. I have to learn about that too

Dear Everyone!

Many of us cannot access the forum; it has now been two days since this happened. Simone55 sent me a link which works. Let's pray that the forum soon returns for all of us!

Luff, Mary xxxxxx

HELP!!!!
What is happening?
Two nights ago, I was posting my translation of the Holy Father's remarks after the Mass for John XXIII when I got one of those messages about not being able to reach the server... I have kept trying since then and I keep getting the server error message.... I went to ffz home and there was a message saying that there was a server maintenance problem they were dealing with and hoped to get everything back to normal ASAP....Kept trying throughout the day and night, but zilch!... Tried again as soon as I woke up today and still the same server message for PAPA RATZINGER FORUM....

In the course of reviewing other things online, I tried clicking on a link to the PRF in one of the blogs - and lo and behold, I am in...So thinking, the server problem must be over, I went and tried to open a new PRF window, but the same server error message...

So for the time being, I am accessing the Forum through a link in a blog! Apparently, no one has had the same problem as I do because there are regular posts on the Forum.

Can someone please tell me how they access the PRF? For the past 3-1/2 years, I've always simply typed in 'ratzigirl' which brings me to the Google list with the regular link to PRF... but that's the way that keeps getting me the server error message now. How can the main link claim a server error, while a hyperlink through a blog works????

I did some translating during my enforced absence, so I will be posting those as soon as I have re-oriented myself!


P.S. Sorry, I was so excited just to get back on and send out this SOS that I did not notice Mary also posted a similar complaint above....

Benefan, it seems you did not have a problem as you were able to post....

Teresa - Many of us have not been able to access the forum for 48 hours now. Simone55 sent me a link which works, so I've put that in my Bookmarks. It seems we have to find roundabout ways of getting to the forum for the moment. But let us hope all will soon be well!
Mary

I had problem yesterday for a couple hours but it is OK now and I get to the forum the regular way

Same problem too

I had the same problem getting on for nearly a day so I tried other links that I googled with no success. Finally, yesterday late afternoon, I got on the usual way and posted a few articles. I didn't have any problems this morning--yet. I hope things clear up. Not everybody will be able to figure out alternative ways of finding us.

This is the link I use to get on. It takes me straight to the English section.

Thanks, Janet. Here's another link Caterina provided.

It appears from what she and another member said - who 'entered' through FFZ central - that the server was down for most of yesterday - that's the 'maintenance on October 29' that they had posted, along with a note that they also had server problems they were trying to repair ASAP.

It seems that during the 'maintenance' they somehow disabled the main link to the Forum for most people - it's the one you get when you type PAPA RATZINGER FORUM in Google search - which is not good for the Forum because the Server Error messsage says that there is no server to connect to, so regular people just trying to check us out will think the Forum is no longer operative. (I was so confident that the main link could not possibly give a wrong message about Server Error that I did not even bother to check other ways to get in!]

I will see if Gloria can ask the FFZ administrators to straighten out the mess. But I believe we have to think seriously of some back-up for the Forum that is not at the mercy of FFZ, and about which I have no idea what could possibly be done and how!

The Mass for the Pontifical Universities has begun, so Papino should be speaking in about an hour.... His voice coming through Vatican Radio online kept me going during the 'drought' - I heard the audience catechesis live and then on re-broadcast, among other things.... and this morning, I heard him addressing the Jewish group....

I got to the forum by my usual desktop shortcut tonight, so perhaps the problem has been solved.

Hey- benedetto.fan - I like your signature banner! Voll kraus!!!!!!
