I click the "login" button from the home page and nothing happens...
Strangely, using the same ISP from the office works just fine...
This morning when I tried to reach the page it wouldn't load the submit button however I was able to reach it through a back-up URL that I got some time ago and had in my favourites. It worked just fine.
Now I can't reach either.
When will they learn to put up a warning on their login page saying they are fixing it...
Some of us would like to know when we can get back to work!
When I emailed my account manager about last week's reporting delays she basically said 'what problems with reporting'?
Just received an email that they ETA back up within an hour...
I don't go into DTC very often, as we have XML access, as a bid partner, but I thought during scheduled outages they flashed an old tv test pattern with the Indian on it? Always thought that was humorous...
We've always prided ourselves in 99.9999% up time, even though we rely on 3rd parties like Overture for data. They do have a huge system though, and they place a higher fault tolerance on ads being served, than on DTC and XML bid management processes.
The reporting delays last week were a pain, but for the most part, Overture has their previous day data rolled up, and available like clock work.
I know navigation speed through DTC has been a major source of contention with advertisers. That is the one area that I wish Overture would focus on. With MSN on the horizon offering a 3rd alternative, Overture needs to firm up advertiser relations and performance issues.
Hey TropicalIsland, I'm curious what that other older URL was for Overture. That would be a good bookmark.
I feel that all clicks when the Direct Traffic Center is down should be free of charge.
But this is type of shenanagence is what I have come to expect from Overture.
Put it in your favourites for the next breakdown.

Don't remember where I got it from but it will work sometimes when the normal one does not. This is the normal one I use:

This morning the regular one just hung while the back-up worked fine.
System is really slow.
Hey Todd, how can you tell? :-)
Once these changes take effect, you will receive another e-mail with a link to the new log-in page
Looks like we will have to find alternate log-ins to get around the inevitable problems.
