Frustration and the internet

There's a saying that 'the internet never works when  you really want it to work' and sometimes that's true- or so it seems. At any rate, a possible increase of internet usage and traffic over the holidays has resulted in some comments to us that the Bates County Live web site is not working correctly- asking for passwords, pages not loading, etc. Like most web sites, we do depend somewhat on other web sites, links or third party connections to get you to the news. This would include Facebook and Twitter links, RSS feeds and email. Unfortunately these services sometimes get bogged down making it temporarily impossible to access the news.


The solution- If you ever have problems linking to our web page, try instead going directly to our home page at www.BatesCountyLive.com or try our mirror site www.BatesCountyNews.com. Bookmark the page and add to your favorites- this should eliminate most of the problems mentioned above. 


As always, if you have repeated problems you may email us at bateswire@hotmail.com any time and we'll try to get them solved asap.
