Anyone here having trouble getting on to Spotlight Hobbies? I've been trying since early this morning every once and a while and I'm getting the "Server Not Found" error.

It's a bit unusual for them to be down this long, although the problem could be on my end with my network connection. I tried on my phone with a cell signal but I'm getting the same error.

EDIT: BTW, the URL for them is here.

Yes, I've noticed the same thing since last evening. Awhile before it went down, Tom mentioned they were having issues that could affect some use of the board. I'm guessing the issues were bigger than first thought?

I just closed out, and was able to get back in, right to the spotlight hobbies model message board,  so I don't know fellas.  Good luck.

Nope........just tried your link Howard and I'm still getting the error. Maybe you can ask Howard if there's an issue there with certain ISP's? I'm on Comcast so it could be they're having a problem with their server.

I presume you are talking about the spotlight hobbies message board?  if so it is 2/1/19 at 10:53 pm, alluding to some type of problem caused by yahoo

OK, your PC has the site "cached" meaning you're still getting the last time you visited, but no new posts. I'm sure guys tried to post something there since that time! :D

That's last night. You are not seeing today. I use Midco for internet. And like I mentioned, I tried my phone without wifi, so that is my plans data, and it's a no go.

Well that is interesting since I have never to my knowledge been to the site before today.  Never heard of it til you posted about it this morning.

No, your ISP sees it as a new addy so it would get the last thing that was posted. I have it bookmarked so my ISP knows I visit there quite a bit and would know ahead of time there's a problem thus the 'locking out'.
