Troubles with getting on Chiff&Fipple

Troubles with getting on Chiff&Fipple

I can't seem to be able to get on C&F forums board, is there anybody else experiencing the same problem?

Yeah. I get the ol' 500 error. You just have to be patient. Eventually someone will restart the server or something.

Thanks Fearfaoin. I clicked on it again, and it worked this time. Funny how I post this and it finally works.

It's appalling. The recent so-called "upgrade" seems to have made things twice as bad as they were before.

Now I can't get on it again. I know what you mean Steve.

I don't know where you're located or where the C&F server is, but there has been serious internet disruption between continents since a cable was severed in the Mediterranean the other day.

Don't tell me there is a Chiff and Fipple Facebook group. What is the world coming to.

Re: Troubles with getting on Chiff&Fipple

Funny I have been signed up here for a while and never posted...

Chiff & Fipple works for me.
I am having trouble getting onto another whistle site though.

What tune are you looking for, lone-woowose?
I submitted the address to see if it could be repaired.
I looked at a cached page which lists the tunes.
The links are of course dead on the cached page.
But if you need a hornpipe I pasted the list of them below the link to the cache.

Actually the reason I like that site is it has the notation for my girlfriend to play whistle and the TAB and recordings for me to play strings from. We can find the same information using other sites but that one had it all in the same place.

I know, I should learn to read music so I could use this site...I'm trying.

Re: Troubles with getting on Chiff&Fipple

Yes- they are having troubles with the server or something- they noted that the other day and are trying to fix it- I mostly can't get on there either but they are aware of the problem.

Re: Troubles with getting on Chiff&Fipple

It took me a long time to get registered with Chiff&Fipple, finally a moderator had to personally register for me.

I would get a thing saying that I could not post because I was not a member.

But then when I tried to join, it would tell me that I could not join because I already was a member.

It was frustrating but eventually a moderator was able to override whatever the issue was.
(This was a couple years ago. No issues since then.)
