Hi, if anyone is reading these posts at this very moment ...

 

If you have a Teletrade account, can you try to log-on and see what comes up??

Website appears down as of 7:12 PM EST.

The net to them is functioning and the thier machine seems alive ... must be web Server problem

Whew! I thought it was me, or there was something wrong with my account.

 

I was browsing, put in a max bid (1 of like 20 something), and it said "Account suspended, please call customer service". I did so immediately, nobody there (of course). I tried clearing my cache and logging back in and kept getting an error message from their server ... now I get zippo, so, yes, it must be down altogether.

 

Sorry, I got panicked, but I have alot out there on their site right now and was watching and bidding.

The site is having difficulty this evening and was down for 15-20 minutes but appears to be back. For now.

Nope still dead

Nutz!!!

 

I didn't write my lot #'s down this time so I can't even try to see if the phone bidding works (like way back in the old days...)

the site seems, partially up at least, but I still get the "Your username and/or password is invalid. (03)." error when logging in.

 

Frustrating. (and yes, I am using a valid login)

OMG !!!

 

"Teletrade regrets that we've had to cancel

tonight's auction due to equipment failure.

 

Lots will be reassigned to a later auction.

 

We apologize for the inconvenience. "

Told ya it was no small fault ... - They have to rebuild the user file

Teletrade has run a subpar web site for years and ignores even the most basic recommendations, such as allowing users to establish and change their own passwords.

 

Perhaps this embarrassing and avoidable failure (mirroring and automatic failover, anyone) will prompt them to join the rest of us in 2007.

 

I'm not holding my breath.

Yup - A mirror would have had them up in minutes ... Probably running the thing on a laptop hahahah

[al_e_gator]

You were correct .... guess I'll just go to bed.

 

Here's what I found in my pocket tonight, any bidder's???

We laugh. Probably not far from the truth...
