truTV: Not Reality. Actuality.

rph3664 · #1 06-17-2008, 11:04 PM

Is anyone else finding it difficult or impossible to post there? I have, and initially thought I had been banned but I hadn't. A lot fewer people are posting than usual, and I'm sure this is why.

What's going on?

I believe you'll need to email Coldwater regarding issues you're having with InSession. Even tho this message board (CrimeLibrary) and Insession are both owned by TruTV there's a different moderator here named Deepwater. She has nothing to do with InSession as far as I know and Coldwater told me she has nothing to do with this site.

If people are having problems there you're more than welcome to come here and start a new topic. We don't seem to have the same restrictions as CTV aka InSession.

Welcome to CL rph3664.

ETA: to my above post - I just noticed you've been a member here since 2005.

rph3664 · #4 06-18-2008, 12:24 AM

I cannot post or send IMs or e-mails at all. There have been a few times when I have been able to post, but within a few minutes, I can't once again.

I started this thread because a lot of posters frequent both boards.

There are known glitches that involve both boards. Have you cleared your cookies/cache via Tools, Internet Options, Browsing History (select delete)?

The problem I've encountered is staying logged in and hopping to another website only to come back here to find I have to log in again and then I get error messages. Cleaning my cookies/cache seemed to take care of the problem. Hope that helps.

rph3664 · #6 06-18-2008, 11:58 AM

I tried clearing my cookies and that didn't work either.

Since you mentioned "known glitches", then I KNOW it isn't just me.

I should add that I tried to sign on at the library and couldn't do it there either.

Even though the posters on Insessiontrials seem to have made more bad decisions in life than everyone I've ever known put together (and all of it is the ex-husband's fault

), they still engage in intelligent dialogue.

JMHO.

From my understanding its down for maintenance....

The In Session message boards are closed at the moment for maintenance. Boards will re-open shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience. ...

I was getting the same message at both InSession and TruTV. Looks like we're in for a major overhaul at both places. I think they are converting the boards, as we were told they would do.

Hey! I know you!

Some are chatting about this over on HFTM. . .

Good to see you, BTW!

You need to check your profile settings if you don't like getting the e-mails!

Are you a member over on Helpfindthemissing.org??? Lots of folks you know hang out there too!

After reading over HFTM I have a feeling this place is going to be next. I've noticed some strange activity here this AM (sorry I won't post it) which I'll report to Deepwater.

MMVIII · #21 07-08-2008, 04:24 PM

There seems to be little technological attention payed to the insession message boards. It's impossible to bold. No avatars. Few icons. Etc.

Not surprised it was hacked. A banned poster might bear a grudge. A fired moderator might decide to retaliate.

(What was done with the personal information harvested on this crime library board when "freshwater" asked for e-mails from those applying to be assistant moderators.)

The situation you describe at insession has been like that for awhile. and I think you're totally off base concerning the rest of your post.

It's not "off base" to mention the FACT that a former moderator of this board asked those applying for assistant moderator positions to e-mail her/him.

What was done with the information harvested? Applicants were asked their opinions about other posters, etc.

With the obvious low level of tech support, it's surprising the insession boards weren't hacked before. What information was found by the hackers?

FDInLaw · #24 07-08-2008, 05:05 PM

Ironically, CW pays closer attention to what is going on. . . I'm surprised this board did not go first!

I wouldn't have a clue. Why don't you ask FW what she did with the info? And FWIW the admin of any site who uses vbulletin has access to the email address you sign up with along with your IP number and whatever other personal info you were asked for if you chose to give any.

It's in the manual. http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html?m...rsion=30604500

SaraSidle · #26 07-08-2008, 10:25 PM

It sounds like from HFTM that the IP's have been figured out. and where they are from. I sure hope that makes a difference.

walton · #27 07-09-2008, 01:01 AM

Is there anything we can do to help?

Babes · #28 07-09-2008, 05:19 AM

Argggh this cant be happening - I am off work and BORED.... Bring back IS!!!!! That Scott Peterson Thread is a JINX ( joke ) - ROFL. Take it off once the board comes back

Before the board goes down - there is a thread made at the July 4 forum emailing users something i cant remember and the email came from someone from out of the country

docky · #29 07-09-2008, 08:35 AM

Well, if we don't get Open Court back, it;s been a lot of fun for several years knowing some of you..

I'm kitty1182 there..

Mother HEN · #30 07-09-2008, 08:59 AM

Why don't the moderators of THIS board (crimelibrary) ask the moderators of the OTHER board (insessions) to post HERE, explaining what's going on?

There seems to be no cooperation between the two boards,and little or no communication between the moderators of insessions and the owners/managers of truTV's website.

There seems to be no regard for the members who read and post on the message boards.

The low level of technological support on both boards is another sign of the indifference by management and the moderators to the members.

When the insessions board was hacked, what personal information about members was found by the hackers?

When truTV sells advertising on the message boards, what membership numbers does it claim? (Does it continue to count those members banned from individual forums?)

Caje · #31 07-09-2008, 09:17 AM

If an individual members account were hacked the hackers would have access to that members saved private messages. I guess it's possible that could be a problem for some members.

Hi Kitty! "It's been"???? Come on now. . . it still can be! A good number hang out here as well as over on helpfindthemissing.org. I am hoping with you though, that we get OC back soon!

Let's see. . . well, that would require Deep Water to actually spend some time here LOL.

Some folks complain about CW, but at least she is on the job!

Mother, I share your frustration.

This is true of pretty much any forum software. I can access the info of any member on any of my boards that I run and I use phpBB3.

So why doesn't Deep Water spend time here? It doesn't make sense to have an admin that doesn't spend time on the site they are supposed to be administering.

Again, being banned would require that the present mod actually do something, you are pretty safe. . . believe me, I've been quite a stinker about this whole issue and I'm still here!

I was wondering what was happening with the In Session boards.They were hacked? I guess that's a constant possibility with most boards. I wonder if In Session boards will be shut down (for good...or bad)....I think I'd truly miss the discussions there........most posters were quite friendly and engaging.
Whatever the situation.....I hope it's resolved favourably for the posters that love to participate there. I haven't been here forever.....I recognize some posters here though.

Hi, May! I remember you from the other board too.
