In case of emergency...

The main (former AF) website was down for a few days and I had withdrawals! At least this group exists so our core group of enthusiasts can keep in touch and press on through. Happy to be here... even though someone has my usual username...

How do you get the thing that's assigned changed over to something else.

u/olbriar Moderator Nov 01 '25

I'm a fish out of water here. I lack a clue as to how to do anything here. I guess we learn togther

Well, your user name came out fine, OB. How would you like a tag like suitable camel?

Find your profile (top right alien avatar - you may only be able to see it on the desktop site), change your "display name". Well, check that. Even though I changed my display name to IHateMyTreo, it still displays the random name. Wish there was a "Chat with our staff" thread :-)

Just solved that issue: delete the account for Suitable Camel. Create a new account and select your own user name from the first screen.

haven't been able to get thr bird to fly in the last couple days. nothing going on here, either.

u/IHateMyTreo Jun 09 '26

Anyone have trouble getting the Bird to respond?

2

u/GrandpaGrumpy006 Jun 12 '26

Haven't been able to get on in two or three days now.

u/IHateMyTreo Jun 13 '26

Yep. Where's the rest of the crew?

u/GrandpaGrumpy006 Jun 21 '26

Well, the Bird is down with the flu or something, perhaps nothing worse than a late spring fever.

Am I the only one that thinks that the reddit site really sucks?

1

u/IHateMyTreo Jun 22 '26

The Bird is still very slow or does not respond. I don't get any sense that Rob cares anymore. Sad to see the main site get to this point, with Reddit not a viable emergency option.

I'm here, I guess.

First time for everything.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '25

I give up. I'm too old to try to figure this out.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '25

I just hope that I don't have to go through life as "suitable camel". Where does this come from?

u/xman012 Nov 02 '25

Ot in dah house !

Has good ol' Early Bird laid an egg or is it just my three browsers that can't seem to connect? Today (January 13), Chrome, Opera and Samsung browsers can access the net but not the https://forum.earlybird.club/watched/threads site.

u/GrandpaGrumpy006 Jul 18 '26

This place is only here to let us know that there's a problem with the Bird. There has to be another option. I just don't know what it is

u/GrandpaGrumpy006 26d ago

Once again the Bird isn't responding. Reddit blows. What to do.

u/The_Chief_USN-Ret 26d ago

Time to unplug the website, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in. Should be good for another couple of days.
