  1. 6:20am central time and GSN's web site is still down for maintenance. Nothing about this on their facebook page or on twitter. Once again the techno clowns assigned to keep GSN up and running have dropped the ball. And what do you think GSN will do for their customers when we can't get everything done by the end of the day? That's right...NOTHING.

  2. GSN is having problems with people logging into their web site using browsers other than Internet Explorer. I still have not been able to log into GSN using firefox. This is the response I received from GSN help after I sent them an email about this.

    We're glad that you're a part of the GSN community.

    We're very sorry for the difficulties. The good news is our technical team has discovered what is causing the issue. They're working on a fix and will get it implemented as soon as they can. Please keep checking back!

  3. I was able to log in using Google Chrome about a half hour ago. I didn't have any problems logging in this afternoon. I logged in about 3pm eastern and was on until about 5:30pm.

    It looks like whatever problem there was must have been fixed.

  5. Well it seems that the problem I was having connecting with GSN had to do with the fact that my computer was storing older versions of their pages. I didn't have any problems until GSN did their latest update. If anyone else is having similar problems, try clearing your temporary internet files, delete cookies and clear out your history. This solved my problem. Happy oodling to everyone.
    Rowdydog the BIG move is only a week away. Try not to worry, everything will be fine. I can never say it enough...THANK YOU!!!
