Get in through the back door....
Hi all. There are times (thankfully few) when you can't get onto this sight through the helponthe.net URL. This happened several weeks ago, and then again yesterday. But you can usually still get onto the site through "the back door".

Pyritechips pointed out one way of doing it in this thread:

http://forums.techguy.org/t186655/s.html

He got onto the site by using one of his e-mail notifications.

Yesterday I had cleaned out my e-mail notifications before I discovered that I could not get onto the TSG site the normal way. I remembered Pyritechips' solution, and came up with one of my own.

I "googled" my own user name, and up popped a thread that I had posted to. I just clicked on it, and I was in.

It wasn't working for a while the other day, at least not for me. That is why I had to find a back door into the site.

Try Googling Zephyr and see how it might not be all that great of a method for some of us.

I suppose you are correct. But then, you could pick any user name on the site and google it. Just use hewee.

You can't be a dirty old man and be in the shower too can you?

I'll use xgerryx since it only gets two Googles.
