I'm getting really mad at CPAP.com

This hands down is the best sleep apnea forum because of the handful of incredibly knowledgeable contributors who volunteer their time. The increasing bugs are nearly intolerable, I hope the owners of the forum will invest in fixing the problem's. I’m sure it’s not a cheap endeavor, but without the most popular CPAP forum attached to their website they’d be just another CPAP supplier in a sea of many.

I tried apnea board for a time, while things here often can get a bit feisty I found that ApneaBoards over moderation causes lots of erroneous, sometimes even dangerous advice to go unchallenged. It’s understandable and unfortunate that some of the main contributors are understandably feeling burnt out. I hope the owners of this forum which has helped so many will invest in fixing the issues.

I am getting a bit burned out.
Same old questions, same old responses and same old bull shit. No one bothers to really research their problems or potential solutions. Same old know it alls that think that the world should revolve around them and their thoughts.
I haven't seen a new problem in years.
My patience level would have to climb a mountain to just get to 0.0. It's in the red right now.

I don’t blame you for feeling burnt out. I’m probably among the many who have asked you many stupid questions over the years, but you always patiently answered and generously shared your immense knowledge. Because of you and other generous contributors my son, brother, sister in law, mother, father, and myself managed to navigate the difficult path of learning to sleep with a CPAP.
You’ve helped so many of us which from the bottom of my heart I thank you for. If the garden is calling you away from this far to often thankless and uncompensated job nobody could fault you for making yourself and your health a priority. Whatever path you go down in the future you should always sleep well at night as you think about the many including myself that you have helped.

Well.....while I am frustrated I am not ready to retire just yet.
I already have had to cut back on the flowers and the garden but that's because of my back/pelvic issues.

It's been a rough year for me personally what with my mom passing away and my little pug Lucy died suddenly a few months back. Hopefully all this estate stuff for my mom will be done with in 3 or 4 weeks and that stress on me will go away. I have had a really tough time with my mom's death. Long story there that I don't want to go into right now.
Major depression for sure.

I did get a chance to get a new rescue dog and she is keeping me busy. She came from a breeder with no skills at all.
She is a lover and a sweetheart but if you think potty training a little puppy is work....try training a an adult who never got out of a kennel.

Meet Brittani.....a Frenchie with a cute little under bite. She's 2 1/2 and learning.

OMG - the cutest of all!

So adorable, I need another shot of insulin.

It's now Tuesday June 4 at 2:55 PM.

Let me know if you guys and gals see that security error message (or have other issues) after this time.

I heard from Carolyn. She explained some of the stuff that she and IT are trying to resolve the issues.
Unfortunately it's like a game of whack a mole.....whack one problem and another pops up.

Any way....I posted the above at around 3 PM because Carolyn was no longer seeing that security error message and I was hoping I wouldn't either....I wasn't successful. I got the same security error message multiple times after I posted.

BTW the security certificate is indeed valid and good until August.

They are also working on fixing the attachment problem.

They are trying.
But part of the problem is that the problem isn't always easily duplicated and like I always have said....to fix a problem we first have to identify the problem.

Seems improved this afternoon... fingers crossed

Improved for me too.

No connectivity problems for me. Now I'm hoping CPAP.com can solve the attachment problem.

This is a test message. Please feel free to ignore

Well.....knock on wood but so far yesterday and today I have not seen any error messages nor have I had any unusual slow down of pages loading.

And IT has made some server storage corrections that should help with the attachment storage problem....at least for now.
They are working on a more permanent solution.
So for now.....I think you can post attachments.

I have un stickied the warning sticky for attachements as well as the "connection problem thread".....for now anyway.

Sometimes. Sometimes even lighter.

Excellent news! Do they consider allowing the moderator and her deputies to delete old attachments? Or is adding more storage their preferred option?
