If your wireless you may need to reset it (turn off for 10secs & then back on for most)

Defrag & clear disc

Other than that & ya need somebody more into pc's which definitely isn't me :lol

Yep its been a problem since the site was updated bat sorted mine out but ive just got new hard drive so am having trouble again now

I'd say the site is offline as much as it's online for me. And that's using two different computers and also on my iphone on wifi or 3g.

Very frustrating.

I had shed loads of grief over this and it turned out to be something to do with those muppets at Orange:doh
I gave them a proper talking to eventually and they gave me two new DNS addresses or something, result, problem solved:thumbs
Now moving off orange too:lol

yes, the issue is DNS, if you add GOOGLES dns servers to your network settings for example, problem solved, the issue appears to be with Orange (and some other providers) dns servers not updating...

I am having problems too, but the above might as well be in computer speak as far as I am concerned, can you talk me through it, Rick, ps it is not that I am computer shy ( I started with a Vic 20) but my short term memory has gone dns.sme,ddn, I have lost track completely so by the time I look up all this stuff I have forgotten what I was looking it up for.

Only time I ever have problems is from my phone but I've put that down to poor signal and poor net access full stop with Voda.

I did that but didnt solve problem in my case.I still think the problem is in this site because it was fine before the upgrade and no other site give me any probs

no problem Rick, tell you what ill do, illpost up a guide for adding the dns sites of Google. It may not solve the issue like for some (depends whch dns servers they used), but for everyone ive added the GOOGLE dns servers for, its worked, so we can give it a bash, its harmless, and easily un done!

ill post it up tonight!

Had the same problem towards the end of last week. It does happen from time to time that I can't get on to the site and I could be using landline broadband or wireless.

 

[rustic]

I get on the site ok, the only problem I have is on the start up page, you don't always get the pictures, just the box "Enter Site"

But it has been ok recently.

Finding it impossible in the evening, usually after 7pm but can be from 5pm onwards, although now and again (once or twice a fortnight) can get on up tp 10pm. Have even tried at silly oclock 3 or 4am with no success. I'm using a wireless connection to my modem in England and the same to my landlords' modem here in Spain - problem the same at both locations.

The site hasn't been off line for many months, DNS issues with your ISP are the problem.

When I upgraded the server a few months ago some ISP's (Orange being the biggest one) got their DNS settings mixed up... but unfortunately they refuse to accept they have issues :doh

As nothing is broke this end, there is nothing for me to fix :thumbs

no problems here.
