Had to wait for today...used a different link to, could have been a problem there, I was clicking in from an Email notification. Working ok now. _________________ "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

Usually, this only occurs for a couple minutes at a time, sometimes a few minutes, but the site appeared fine for most of yesterday. Sometimes it is the site, sometimes it's a person's ISP, and sometimes it's the systems between the person (you or I) and the site host's servers. Unfortunately, the host provider claims they are constantly monitoring traffic and such to prevent this from happening, but that is apparently a bit of an exaggeration and it is obvious that their ability to load-balance things is no longer very efficient. If it didn't cost a boatload more money, I would go with a dedicated server at a different host provider- but we're talking many hundreds of dollars a year, and the site generates only slightly more than it costs to operate right now from the Google ads- so that isn't happening anytime soon. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

It has happened to me a couple of times, but it's a minor nuisance. Self-funding is good. When the money comes rolling in from the velvet Elvis paintings we can grab for the big time. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2009 5:43 pm thepaladin Senior Member Joined: 12 Dec 2007 Posts: 930 Location: TN USA I was just doing a FYI... I find I can usually get back in after a few minutes also. Just didn't work that way yesterday and I thought I' mention it "in case". No big deal. _________________ "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
