Spotlight Hobbies

[MrObsessive]

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.

It was down last evening as well (9p-ish)

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?

Down for me too. Bummer, I look forward to the photos a couple of guys there post.

I was able to access just now

I literally just tried before I typed this and no dice.

Same here, don't know how you got it Howard.

I opened it twice, once by clicking on the URL Mr. Obsessive gave and again by google search.

[Classicgas]

And all of that nets me nothing. Clicking on my own saved link gets me nowhere.

I just tried three different links through Duck Duck Go and each one came back as a server error. Some ISP's are being blocked for now perhaps?

[fivesuns]

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.

[Classicgas]

Just tried my phone without wifi, no luck. Give us your link Howard.

[Classicgas]

No go.

[fivesuns]

This is where ya'll are trying to get to right?

[MrObsessive]

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.

Yup that's it...................

[Can-Con]

Howard, what's the date and time of the last post you see on the board?

[fivesuns]

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

I am rural and use AT&T uverse if that makes any difference IDK

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!  

[Bucky]

Not getting anything here, either.

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'.
