Hello amazing steemians in the hindwhale community how are you all doing today I hope all is well and you all are enjoying your day, today I will be taking part in an amazing contest organize by @pea07 titled "Write us Your feelings about Steemit server down"
About eleven days back my phone was stolen so I had no other means that I can use to access steemit until some few days back when I got myself a new phone I was very happy with it until when I wanted to login to my steemit account
But to my greatest surprised what I saw was horrible and terrifying as I wanted to login it showed "This page doesn't exist" and trust me just seeing that my legs were shaking and I was speechless.
WHAT INITIAL STEPS DID YOU TAKE WHEN UNABLE TO ACCESS ON STEEMIT?
After I'd tried logging into my steemit account multiple times but still I was told that the page doesn't exist at first since I was using Google chrome I thought that maybe it was chrome server delaying the connection.
So I immediately switch to my Samsung internet browser but still I saw the same thing and I went and downloaded opera mini app then I tried logging into my steemit account with it still it was showing me the same thing.
So that day passed the next day I remembered that steemit had introduce an app and since in my old phone that was stolen I have not been using it so I was confused with it's actual name so I'd called my brother @edidiongeffiong and he told me the name of the app "steem pro"
So I went straight to Google play store and I downloaded the app after it was installed I tried logging into my steemit account and behold I was logged in, I was very happy with it but still very confused and I kept asking myself what is wrong with steemit?, Is it going to close down?.
TELL US HOW YOU FELT AFTER 5 HOURS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS ON STEEMIT
Like I'd said earlier after getting my new phone and trying to access my steemit account but couldn't I felt really scared and frustrated and it seems like all my dreams and hard work would be all for nothing.
And it made me remember some of the social platforms which I've dealt with in the past, that at first when it is introduced it will be working and paying perfectly but after some time maybe a Year it will shut down and logged out it users rendering them useless and frustrated.
Though in the first five hours of not being able to access my steemit account due to server problem let's just say I thought that the problem was from my new phone that I have not set up it's connections well but after finishing up with the settings I just said "alright let me hold on for a sec maybe after a while it will open".
TELL US HOW YOU FELT AFTER 24 HOURS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS ON STEEMIT
After I waited for the next 24 hours with my phone in my hand still I couldn't access the steemit platform I felt very mess up and I started thinking about all the sleepless nights that I have been using to write and publish articles.
And I thought that all of that would be in vain until when I'd called my brother like I'd said earlier and asked him the name of steemit mobile app and that was my last and only option and I thanked God that it worked.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE SERVER DOWN?
What I think could be the cause of that server down could be maybe the steemit team were trying to sort out some certain site bugs and possibly fix some issues or maybe there were updating the site.
Or maybe the steemit team were trying to renew their web hosting subscribtion because that could be the only possible thing that could make an already existed website like steemit to be addressed "doesn't exist"
WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS AFTER ACCESS ON YOUR PROFILE AGAIN.
It was indeed a very big relief when I'd finally got access to my steemit account I was very happy to see my profile once again and I said to myself "welcome back, let the fun begins"
Let's steem till we reach the moon

Any business is bound to have glitches and errors, and there can be a variety of reasons for that. The reason why our network server is down may be because they are updating or it is broken somewhere so we should not use our imagination and panic people. thanks for the invitation

Nice entry. Every platform on tge internet space is prone to errors and glitches. I was very scared at the thought of loosing the platform. But I strongly believe in Steemit. I also participated https://steemit.com/hive-179660/@emmy01/my-feelings-about-server-down-of-steemit-or-or-by-emmy01
