Arwen Serpente Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hi All!Every time I try to access the MP, I get this message:The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. Is it just me, or is something up?

Arwen Serpente Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thank you, Lycari! At least I know I'm not crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teagan Morningstar Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 No problem! I had to ask my friends in SL to make sure my internet wasn't having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy Paperdoll Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 An easy first check is to go to the Grid Status page. http://status.secondlifegrid.net/ Though it's sometimes a few minutes behind problems that occur anywhere in SL it's pretty much up to date.....and official, too Bookmark it for future reference.

Arwen Serpente Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks Peggy! I always go there, but look at the time stamps...it wasn't posted there until after I asked my question/started the thread. I know there's usually a lag...just wasn't sure what was up.

Pamela Galli Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 No I can't get it. On a related note: This morning Tatiana kindly emailed me that my entire store was offline -- only the banner was showing. Then it regenerated itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP's post was written at least 20 minutes after MP was down for me. I have been refreshing the Grid Status page since then, no word for about an hour so my next place to check was here and found this post a few minutes ago. So obviously the Grid Status page is not the best place to find answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Susanto Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Shutting off the website seems like a pretty desperate way to compensate for the fact that yesterday's sales slump couldn't simply be continued by the same means. OTOH, I was making a little too much money before this incident occurred, at least for someone who has neither converted to DD nor opened an in-world shop.

Josh Susanto Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 BTW, this is perfect timing other ways, as well. I've been waiting years to list this texture for free. Waiting, specifically for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy Paperdoll Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 It's the best place to find an "official" answer.......perhaps the only place to find such an answer. The delay with a posting on the Grid Status page just might be explanable by the fact that today is Sunday, late afternoon. Whatever happened to the MP was definitely not planned and grid monkeys almost undoubtedly had to be called into work to check out what the problem is. It's for that reason, that any apparent problems with anything SL should be reported to the appropriate LL support people.....otherwise the problem persists before any attention is brought forward for longer (possibly until the next day when those grid monkeys report for their regular day's work). Once reported time has to be allowed for someone to check it out and then notify the appropriate people to advise the users. On a Sunday afternoon just how long do you think that time frame may be? 5 minutes or even an hour is probably a little unrealistic. I've been in those grid monkey's shoes. They are on call and are required to check out complaints after some threshold is reached for such complaints. They are sitting at home watching TV, maybe eating dinner with their family, perhaps they just put a steak on the grill and get a call.......they have to drop everything personal and go to work (often it's a false alarm). It's not always fun or pleasant......but they do it. And the notice was out pretty darn quickly considering the day of the week and the time of day this apparently happened. Asking here is not a bad idea..........but after LL has been notified. Someone notified LL and it appears it was no one who's responded to this thread so far. I know I didn't...........I have no use for Market Place (for reasons I won't go into). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Serpente Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 As I said, I checked the grid status, and there was no info. I'm a Merchant, coming here to the Merchant forum to ask if anyone else is experiencing the issue makes perfect sense. If I'm the only one, then it is my problem, If others have the issue too, then I can file a support ticket. In any case, it is back online now as far as I can tell.

Cherrie Juneberry Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Peggy, if the problem is with the end user it looks identical to an LL problem that has yet to be posted on the grid status report. That's why people ask on the forums. If everyone says "works for me" they can get a clue from that response that the grid status page will never give them. The grid status page does not report issues that are end user specific which is why an end user problem and an LL problem not yet posted on the grid status page look identical. Since there is absolutely no way to know whether or not the lack of information points to the earlier or latter, posting on the forums is more efficient. I've no idea why you think being "official" is more important than being timely. So long as the information is accurate, timely is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Susanto Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 >In any case, it is back online now as far as I can tell. Yes, apparently after finding some other way to assure that no one will order anything, or that, if they order, nothing happens. Zero new orders is a suspicious number to my own shop by this time.

As a suggestion, if you want to contact other merchants in real time, try the group "Second Life Commerce Merchants". The only thing with a forum thread is that asking "is this working?" be it Marketplace, logins, website or any other aspect of SL, it's a time limited thread that could well be resolved in the time it takes a couple of people to respond. This thread is 100% dead but will still be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfBaginski Bearsfoot Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 A lot depends on your browser and OS and such, but that message does make me thing you might be using the Google public DNS servers, because I have seen some very similar error messages from that. And when I switched back to my ISP's DNS, the problem vanished. The Internet is not reliable, and figuring out where the problem is can be tricky.
