Hello,

I am having many problems to access the site these days. Thursday and Friday I could not enter, Saturday morning I entered and then it was cut again, now I'm in again. I have tried a lot of times during these days. I access other sites without problems.

Is anyone affected? Is it a local problem?

Dani,

Jim (our master in the sky ) has relocated the site to a new server, yhis has created some problems with accesing the site, we all had that problem, no it should be fixed, maybey a few glitches here and there but it should be fine now.

No problems here since probably Wednesday/Thursday time frame.
The server switch Ronny mentioned may be causing problems for you. You may try clearing out the history in your internet explorer. There may be some page caching problems(?).

Dani,
I am not certain why you would be able to access the site yesterday and then have trouble later. If the domain name is resolving properly (and you don't get the dreaded DNS failure message) then it may just be an occasional slow-down on the server. I am still seeing this happen on occasion and am restarting apache to free-up memory and kill old users, etc. This is another symptom of the need to move to a dedicated server. Hopefully then our performance will be stellar and allow the site to really grow past the level we are at.

I would certainly recommend that everyone delete your browser cache files because I have seen situations where the browser gets confused and thinks it should pull up the old cached "dns error" screen instead of trying to access the URL for real.

Cheers,
Jim
