I Keep losing the website!!!

I'm not sure if it is the website, or my computer, but I lose the page and it says dtr could not be found. I can get back to the page and it will dump me again in less than a minute. It's happened three times while typing this. What's wrong???

It also seems to happen when opening a new thread most of the time.

The ad server and the wiki is down right now because that particular server crashed. I am working on it and I'm hoping to have it back up sometime today. It's a major crash so it's going to take some time.

Looks like we lost a power supply in one of our servers and we are attempting to secure parts so we can get it back up and running. We expect to be without our Wiki and our banner ads for at least a day and a half.

Thanks for the heads up. I thought maybe it was just my computer.

I am not certain this is what was causing your problem, the server I speak of runs the Wiki and our banner ads, it should not have effected your use of the forum....at least by my limited thought process when it comes to the software here

I've hit this a couple of times over the past few days. Every once in a while, the DTR page comes up as not found. I try again a few seconds later and it's there. I figured it was just a routing issue on the 'net.

I believe it most likely is, the server went down around Midnight last night taking the wiki off line, it should not have any effect on the forum as it runs on a couple separate servers.

What part of the website are you trying to get to? Some parts of the website are going to be down until tomorrow afternoon but I can't tell you anything about your error unless you give me a url you are trying to reach.

Sounds like a browser issue, which browser are you using? do you have the latest updates for it? when was the last time you cleared your cache?

It doesn't matter what part of the website i'm in or going to. even as I type this, it happens and i have to click the back arrow and then reset my cursor position and continue typing. I don't know anything about my browser, by the way.... not very computer literate.

...and what is the error you're getting? Who is your service provider? I'm not seeing any errors on the website right now other then the ads and wiki being down. What browser are you using and what version is it?
