I cant get on to yahoo to check emails, is anyone else having similar problems?

No, my yahoo mail is working just fine, but it took ages and ages to get onto BE these past few days. I did eventually manage to get onto the board and then I tried to open your post but I kept getting that message that said the website was having trouble or I wasn't connected to the Internet (yeah right!) and this happened to me over and over again over the past couple of days.

I couldn't even get onto the main BE site either.

I've been having problems with BE too, mainly saying it cant open the database. Yahoo seems to be OK today though. Fortunately, so now my mum can access her emails.

i have been having probs with BE too. my yahoo is fine. although my husband couldnt retrieve his hotmail, said he had no account

Yep - same difficulties as getting onto this site

Got me to wondering. You know how all those people were addicted to The Trueman Show in that film. The guy that watched it daily in the bath, the people in the bar, those two security men eating pizzas ?

Well, what if BE just came to an end one day

Would we all just shrug and carry on as if it had never been part of our lives? (Yes, of course we would) - but what about the "detox" symptoms ? Do you think another BE-wannabe would rise from the ashes ?

I don't know how many of you will agree with me, but I have been on this board so long that I feel like I really know a good many of you. When I thought that the whole website had gone on the blink for ever, my first thought was -- oh no - how will I find out how everyone on the board is getting along!!!
