Help, trying to locate missing TOA club

[toro_downunder]

Gr <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />eetings from down under again, does anyone know if the Toronado Owners [censored], TOA. is still up and running? I have been a paid up member of this group for nearly a year, and although I receive their newsletters by snail mail, I CANNOT access their home page, infact, I have used every email address from their newsletter and still come up against a brick wall!! I have even got other people with a different ISP to try and they too cannot get through. So my last conclusion is that the TOA has folded up? can anyone please shed some light on this great Mystery. <www.toronado.org> thanks in advance Frank Sikora TOA #257 Australia

i tried the website on my computer and it worked fine. i looked for www.toronado.org and found it right away. maybe there is a problem with your computer. you might want to see if theres any phone numbers of members in australia that you can email or call to see whats going on. hope this helps you.

[toro_downunder]

Hi again, thanks for the reply, I got onto a TOA member down here in Australia and they had no problem accessing the site. I am going to get another person to go through my pc and sort out the settings etc, its frustrating the crap out of me, as I used to access the TOA site without dramas. maybe I should go and learn about these godammmm putors ha cheers Frank

Update on my attemps at getting connected to the TOA home page www.toronado.org I asked a few friends to click onto the site, one of them got through but the other 2, who are with the same ISP as me, (ncable.net.au) could not. I have emailed customer support at Ncable, and asked them to please go through their Spam filters and anything else that might block transmission. I have also asked if they too could try and access the Toro site and I am awaiting a reply. One thing that might be of importance is the message that I receive each time my email has failed. It states that the message had "timed out" and also, I dont get any indication of my failed attempts at emailing until exactly 3 days later. As for my PC, I took it into the shop and got them to go through it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with my settings?? Maybe TOA's ISP just doesn't like Ncable.net.au My dilema goes on, cheers from down under Frank Sikora #257 <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

well since its not your computer with problems it your cable provider with them. maybe you can switch to another provider as it sounds like your not getting your moneys worth. good luck and i hope you can get this straightened out so you can get the latest from your toronado club.

All the above numbers mean absolutely nothing to me!! Does anyone understand them? I did send a copy of this to Mike Fredericks personal email address, but havent received a reply (I hope he got it) ha cheers from down under. Frank

[toro_downunder]

Well, guess what, my email to Mike Fredericks could not be delivered? must be a conspiracy HA!! I just received my july/august Vol 1 no 5 news letter, which I must say is very good and lots of colour pics. Maybe I should send a letter via snail mail? that should get to them. Are there any TOA members following these posts? signing off Stressed out Toro downunder Have a good day Frank.

[toro_downunder]

<img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />Well Folks, All my attempts to access the Toro site have got me no where, I am convinced that spam filters somewhere along the way, just dont accept my ISP address (ncable.net.au). I dont have a problem accessing anything on the net, accept the Toro site or any email attemps to anyone in charge of that site. As a last resort I will knock up a letter and send it by a carrier pigeon or snail mail, which I will do in the next couple of days. So thanks for the help trying to sort this out, if I ever get through I will let you good folks know and also what the problem was, cheers from down under Frank Sikora TOA #257 <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />Well Folks, a couple of hours ago, I received an email from the Toro Mail list about some second generation Toros. So I thought that I would try the Toronado Site and BANG I am in once again !! I accessed nearly everything on the site, except for the Toro list and the members section. I didn;t have a user name or password for the members section and found no threads as to where I could create a user name & password, I could only access a page where I can join TOA. I have also sent the word subscribe into every nook and cranny of the site and am waiting with abated breath to see if I might get lucky. I must point out that ages ago, after I received a similar email from the list, that also on that occassion, I found that i could access the Toro Site, but only for one day. Its as though I get a small window of access directly after I receive an email?

I will see if I can still access the site after 24 hours have passed. The only other thing that strikes me as strange is that I am on the list but cannot access it?? anywayz, I will let you know what happennnnnns cheers from down under Frank Sikora TOA #257

[toro_downunder]

Its now Monday morning down here 8am to be exact, I just tried to access the toro site and guess what? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> The Dilema goes on cheers from down under Frank.

[toro_downunder]

G'day from down under, just wondering how many TOA members have read these strings and know of others that have the same problem? please let me know or email me at oceandev@ncable.net.au
