<p>FINALLY. thank the lord Jesus.</p>
<p>you’re in?</p>
<p>yeah. just submitted it and am heading off to school</p>
<p>How are you guys getting in??</p>
<h2>After like 5 minutes of loading all I get is a Network error… still DX</h2>
<p>Network Error (tcp_error) </p>
<p>A communication error occurred: “Operation timed out”<br>
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time. </p>
<p>For assistance, contact your network support team.</p>
<p>@angeloflogic
may i ask your process-how long it took to load etc thank you so much i am really stressed out</p>
<p>Me too ):
It’s especially frustrating since now apparently some people are getting in, and yet I’m still getting the same errors. If by the end of tonight it’s still not working for me, I’m just going to submit another extension request because this is just becoming ridiculous. Come on QB, I don’t see google freezing up every two seconds - figure this thing out.</p>
<p>submitted it yesterday at 6:00 pm. But I see the server is down again. Now the entire website is not even working.
hmmm this is why QuestBridge shouldn’t host its website on Yahoo Hosting.
</p>
<p>Note to all those having trouble submitting: The QuestBridge website will eventually be up today, probably in the late afternoon if it’s a server error. If it’s not up by the end of the day, they’ll probably extend the deadline again.</p>
<p>How are you so sure that the site will be up again? I’m just wondering.</p>
<p>They’re not just going to leave the website like that. They want everyone to have a fair chance, and it isn’t the student’s fault that they couldn’t submit anything due to the website being down.</p>
<p>Signed up for this site because of this QB mess… God, I’m an idiot for procrastinating. I can’t even access my locker today. Anyone think they’ll extend it further if this problem isn’t fixed by midnight tonight?</p>
<p>The site will be back up eventually. If it does not come up with ample to submit applications, they’ll end up extending the deadline again. They have already extended it when the server bogged down for 8 hours or so, just to get to the College Match. With the whole site down, it’s a pretty strong guess to say another extension will occur if it doesn’t get fixed. :)</p>
<p>Well good morning people; I STILL can’t access the page. Off to school. Guess I know I’ll have to sit in the computer lab and stalk the page AGAIN during my lunch hour.</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone! We’ve got approximately 16/17 hours left to go. Crossing my fingers!</p>
<p>Me. I’m going to be glued to the computer all day.</p>
<p>Oh, can anyone post the essay questions if they remember them? :P</p>
<p>They should just extend the deadline all the way to Sunday. Obviously they can’t do anything about their server(s) (<em>cough</em>purchase dedicated servers<em>servers</em>) so the large influx of users are still going to crash it.</p>
<p>That definitley would be very nice. Doubt they’ll say anything more until tomorrow though.</p>
<p>they better give in to the weekend extension, instead of giving one 24 hour notice after another…if they give the 3 day extension their servers will experience lesser strain because not all kids will have the pressure to submit within “24 hours”</p>
<p>come on now Questbridge, I know we have rules and such, but this is a mess up on your part, so let’s have some practicality here, shall we?</p>
<p>hey hi GA2012MOM glad to see you here now- and
come on now Questbridge, I know we have rules and such, but this is a mess up on your part, so let’s have some practicality here, shall we? </p>

<p>And I agree… the easiest way for Questbridge to solve this problem would be to extend the deadline to Sunday so that there isn’t such a large amount of people trying to access the site at once. What I’m wondering now is how they don’t have this problem every year?</p>
<p>i’m at school not going to work and sitting at the library and clicking the refresh button…the whole site doesn’t work now, hopefully they’re cleaning it up!! (:</p>
<p>They should provide a fax system</p>
