Site Problems

[Dave Ambrose]

People have been reporting problems accessing the forums and the main site. The diagnostic is either site not found, or IP address not found. We've found the root cause, and will be fixing it just as soon as we can. Thanks for being patient. 

Update: The fix is now in place. It may take up to 24 hours for the changes to propagate to all corners of the world, but I expect them to take hold much sooner.

Whew! Looks like you found the glitch.

Thank you

I hope it isn't something one of us did.

Thanks Dave, things happen...

Thank Dave. I thought it was just me.

Works in Chrome but not Internet Explorer in my case.

I use Chrome and getting the site to load up is hit and miss.

I’ve been seeing the IP address issue occasionally with Safari today.

I don't know why, but Safari seems to be more prone to the problem than other browsers. At least that's been my experience.

I've been having it too for a few days. The site will refuse to load for a few minutes, but wait a little while and it's fine again. 

[ewetwo]

Same as Snake. Sometimes it would be fine and other time not so much.  I use Safari .

Mine ended up that way too.

Just had the issue again on my iphone with safari at 11:02 pst

[Classicgas]

Working now. Thanks!

[maltsr]

Seems to be working all the way down here, too.  Many thanks.

Ahhh, I thought this was a problem at my end - I’d had it for a few days.  Seemed I couldn’t access the site on wifi, but then I could if I used my phone’s data connection.  

I hereby apologize to my iPhone for the names I called it, and ditto my cable provider.

Thanks for keeping the site tuned up and running right Dave!

PM me if you're still having the problem tomorrow. By then, all the timeouts should have expired.

Ok I have not had anymore problems. Thanks Dave for fixing the problem.

[ChrisBcritter]

Looks like we're good - thanks for fixing it!

[Olskoolrodder]

No issues here for a couple days, thanks for all the hard work y'all do and did to fix it, you're appreciated

FYI:  Tried to start a new topic, but am getting the 404 error window.  I even tried not having pictures, no luck.
