Site has been down now and again lately

Post by Niner » Sat Mar 08, 2014 6:09 pm

I got a couple of emails noticing the site down at times. Usually it's only down for ten minutes or less. Mostly it's the fault of some server problems that I think will right themselves pretty soon. If not... on to plan two.

A couple of the short down times were also for updates.

I don't see any reason to be too concerned at the moment.

I was having trouble logging on, turns out it was my main laptop, the other 2 laptops work fine.
Now I have to figure out the problem with the main one.............. :(

The site has really been down now and again. Maybe your main laptop was remembering the last time you tried to login and the site was actually down. Try and hit refresh and see what that does when you get that can't connect message.

Earlier today I figured out what happened, just don't know how or why it happened......... :shock:
I link to all my favorite sites using the "Favorites" bar at the top. For some unknown reason, the
2 sites of Robert's would not work, it turns out that the "www." had gotten dropped off of them and
they would not work when I clicked on the favorite and it was automatically entered into the search bar
in Internet Explorer. No idea why the "www." was only dropped from those two sites.
The mysteries of the computer still baffle me often......... :cool:

(And let's not turn this into a "What's wrong with Explorer thread".)
