Thread: Server problems

Is anyone else having them? I get a dns error, server could not be found message quite frequently. In fact, I am unable to get to ph more often than I am able to. This is at multiple different places. Work, home, etc...
Is anyone else running into this?

Yes, several times now

Happens all the time. You type in a response, hit submit, and get a page cannot be displayed page. You go back, and the message is lost. irritating as hell.

Will check into it with ISP. Tell me if the problem is continuing because it would be annoying here as well.

Adjusted some database settings in case that was the problem, but if you're getting a DNS error that is a different story.

Can someone take a screenshot perhaps when they see a problem so we can send it to the hosting company?

I think it is an inherent problem with vBulletin, I would not worry to much.

No, unfortunately that is definitely not the case. It's something else.

When/if it happens again, I will get a screen shot. Thanks for looking into it.

Network Error (tcp_error)

This is not the one that I typically get, but it is the one that I got tonight.

Whatever it is, it is a real problem. I repeatedly lose my connection to this site and I don't experience that with any other sites I go to. I would be willing to bet others have the same problem and your membership is going to suffer because of it. It is frustrating as hell and if I had not been here as long as I have, I would have left by now.

The above post, after clicking submit, the little green squares at the bottom go about half way across and then I get the Page "cannot be displayed page". Go back and enter the post again and it took about a minute and a half before it successfully posted. I NEVER get that sort of performance from any other site nor about 3 other forums I go to very similar to this one.
