page cant be displayed

[xkvator]

last night i had problems getting any to open - keep getting 'THIS PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED'

Also, Tuesday, at 3:00 PM and I had problems late last night also. First time I have mentioned this latest round of page non-displays but it has been going on for about 2 weeks at all times including early morning hours. Has been getting worse as days go by.

I have been trying to get on the forum many times each day since Feb 4th. Keep getting the "cannot display page" message.

Got on once only to not be able to post a message.

Seems fine today though.

I haven't had time to yet look at this. I am still recovering from a fall on the ice, and then ended up with an infected foot, although not 100% over it, the worst of it is.

I think this is going to come back to database server accessability as it did before, and was previously solved by moving the database to another vritual server within the same hosting company. Our numbers seem to continue to increase, there are also larger guest numbers on the forums. I am not sure what the answer to this yet, but will look further into it. One of the major problems is funding, and I am not sure the answer to that yet either. The old saying is that you get what you pay for. And reliability may be one of those things that it will come at a price.

Will look at it soon.

Sorry to hear you're under-the-weather, Don. So I guess you won't be taking in many Winterlude activities, eh!

I've had no problems yesterday or today.

Re funding, take a look at the johnbridge tiling forum at http://johnbridge.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1

Two things they have that we don't, 1) corporate sponsor; and 2) a 'sticky' asking for donations. I hate pop-ups, but the static adds don't seem to be obtrusive. Just some ideas.
