Was I the only one who couldn't get onto SRP earlier today?

SRP was closed for maintinance for a few hours yesterday evening.

It was also closed all day Sunday or at least I couldn't get in.

I was just SO relieved to see my post count intact. Thanks for the good work, guys.

I couldn't get on to the site this morning for about an hour or so around 9am CDT. Just now I had to re-logon 3 times before the site recognized me. Question, is it me or is it the server? If its the server, this thing is getting really fragile; if it's me, I'm getting bummed. I might have to break out the Norelco.

LOL me too I was afraid I'd be under a thousand yet again.

It's not the server. The site was moved to a new Host Monday evening and was back on-line by Tuesday morning. The outages you're seeing are the normal internet crap that happens as the DNS records get updated in every ISP around the world to indicate the changes that were made. I couldn't reach the site via the www domain both Tues afternoon/evening and again Wed afternoon/evening. I'm sure many of you are in the same boat.

Unfortunately, every ISP has their own frequency and process for DNS update. It theoretically should all be over in 72 hours, but in reality some ISPs take much longer, some refresh every couple hours.

We're all sorry its affecting the site, but there's little we could/can do to avoid it, given what needed to happen in the move.

joe,

Thanks for the info. As hard as it is to do, I'll exercise a bit of patience the next time I get the "not now" message.
