hey

i can't get access to listbot.com in IE or Netscape. what could be causing this and how do i fix it?
its been like this for about 5 days. i tried pinging listbot and they are up. i've also tried listbot.com in lynx through a shell account and i get in without any trouble. its getting quite annoying because i can't send out my e-zine. has anyone else had this problem?

YES! I have EXACTLY this problem, but for longer than 5 days - well over a week now.

I've e-mailed them at support@listbot.com - I have the address from previous coms. Why not e-mail them and let them know - the more people that do it the better.

Funny thing is, I'm still getting people subscribing and I'm still receiving their weekly reports...

I agree. I know that it's a free service, but still they should get their stuff together. It's not fair on the little guys! (i.e. us ;-))

I suggest using Topica.com. You won't have these problems and it is 10 times better!

I have been debating to move to Topica. DO they have the smae features as E-Groups? Do they advertise?
Check out their small print - they say you can import lists from other places but they do not make it possible to export somethere else!
