anyone else have issues today?

Might be a little work but you could make a test site using your hosting with another forum proggy. This might determine if it is a proggy issue or host issue. I'd stay away from Simple Machines Forum, I used that for a short time and nothing but spammer nightmares. That control panel our host has for installing stuff makes it pretty easy.

You have of course did all the cleaning and profile deleting and stuff right?  I shouldn't even ask this...    Have you defragged lately?  I have Defraggler downloaded and I do a quick defrag maybe once a month to keep stuff together.  I wonder if your internet provider is having communication issues with your site host?  Oh the tangled strands of the interweb....  It's like trying to trace down an intermittent electrical problem with your vehicle.

Ha Ha,Mo doesnt know,Mo i am tech incompetent,if it wasnt for belinda nothing would work here

everyone that reads this rep up belinda https://vandwellerforum.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=7
without her this site would suck

ok defragmentation, i have heard of that,i will check in back and see if it's there,i also saw a configure option but am afraid of doing things because of my history of total destruction,going to have to face my fears and push the button

anything else?

went to CMD and typed in tracert vandwellerforum.com
and it traces from you to the site

the first time 20 hops with 4 in the middle timing out,second time maxed out at 30 with 10 time outs

so it looks like bad routing/connection somewhere between me in oregon and the host in michigan,i'm going to blame it on montana because it suck to drive thru,well western montana is cool but the rest pretty much sucks

What about me?

[Blacktank]

What about me?

CMD on your computer,same as command prompt?

[rvpopeye]

You asked for anyone else having issues.............
I didn't post yet . My connection is working every time.
Just guessing but...
Sometimes issues like this happen due to wi-fi / router settings,,,usually ones with site blocking etc enabled.

[AbuelaLoca]

I can't remember if I have issues on the tablet or just the laptop... I'll get back to you!

So, I've been having the blink thingie - a screen comes up almost instantly saying it can't connect to the site, then a half second later, it connects just fine.

I thought this was odd, as ordinarily it SHOULD attempt to connect for almost a minute, before timing out and posting a cannot connect screen.

I just went into my browser settings and cleaned out the cache, and now the problem has gone away.

I'm using Chrome on the latest version of Android, btw.

[Optimistic Paranoid]

Ok, the problem just came back, so it's not OUR cache.

[Blacktank]

i'm on chrome,is it a chrome thing?

if it was host everyone would be having the issue but it's just a few???
