I was able to get on last week, but not Sunday or Yesterday. I am not sure what is up. Hoping it's a temporary thing.

it's down a lot.  try again tomorrow or next week.  whoever runs the site does a bad job of keeping it running.

It was fine just a couple of days ago - this has happened before but always seems to get fixed within a few days. I'm not 100% sure what that server error means, but it looks to me as though the problem might not be with transster itself this time - I tried a ping on it and it's receiving and replying to that fine.

Here's what the warning means:
"This error usually means that Zope has died. In some Zope versions, it could also have a different cause: too large requests on which Zope responded in violation of the HTTP specification by just closing the connection."

It was working fine for me last week. *shrugs*

It worked for me last week, too. Crap. Hope that transster doesn't go offline permanently. It's the best surgery resource out there -- it's how I found my surgeon.

So they've lost all Zope? (Sorry.)

I was on the site about a week ago and had no trouble.

This happens sometimes. Usually it is fixed within a day's time.

Hmm... sounds like their server can't handle the amount of incoming connections and is, as we say, "dying in the ass" during times of high traffic.

Good news is it doesn't sound like they're intending to take the site down, it sounds like someone just needs a beefier server!

I could be wrong, this is just my impression from the error posted.

As far as I can tell, it's down right now. Not even pingable.

Yep, that's basically what the error means.

Grr, it's still down. I wanted to do some extensive research before my consult next week. I guess I still have time, but what a pain. Is there anywhere else that I can get lots of info on top surgery, including photos?

But what about bottom surgery pictures!?

Try the ftmphalloplastyinfo Yahoo! group - there's more pictures on there of phallo than there ever were on Transster anyway. There's also an FTMmetoidioplasty Yahoo! group with plenty of info about metas.

Thank you guys for the links. I know they weren't handed to me directly, but looking at the images helps one make an informed decision...

It's part of what I love about this forum, the information you can gather for the sake of informed decisions.
