Haven't been able to access forum

Anyone know what has been going on??? This is the first time I've been able to access the forum since Thursday. I know I'm not the only one because of post I've seen on VCVC and an e-mail I got from M1D.

I also could not log on Friday????

I couldn't log on friday. Bill

I was about to go out and kill myself yesterday cuz I couldnt get on either.

Another forum that I used to frequent just disappeared one day and never returned, thats not funny

No problems on my end.

seems our host is having issues which is rare...

hope they get it fixed soon

I just went to the help forum to see what's up... The problem is widespread on forumotion in several countries and the techs are working to correct it...

did not have any issues here...

Everything was working here. I was on and off all day yesterday.

I actually went on vcvc ,posted a thread t see if anyone knew anything . because where it took me to as tried to hit forums ,cache something ,w a white background ,i could see where tthere were people loged on , so felt it was my computer, but just got on this morn . AND YES , just a day , but BOY I did realize this bunch of guys on here are such a help, and blessing to this non-machanic , so often !

Everything seems good up north...no problems here other then my internet provider taking a dump for about 3 hours. I was in friday evening.

Most often, it's not with the entire hosting service, but perhaps with one of their server farms; which would explain regional accessibility issues.

When something like this occurs, it may be necessary to clear your history cache in your browser. It will force the page to completely reload from the server, without the help of any potential cache from previous visits stored on the browser memory.

Normally that would sound like good info but 3 different computers? at the same time. It still has been hit and miss today. the only problem with all 3 is here. everyone else works.

Depending on circumstances, it most certainly could happen to all three. Cache refreshing isn't a problem, per se. When the computer "calls" for data from a server, it will usually draw from stored information on the user end as a faster route to a place already traveled. If there was a problem with the V-V host server and they moved their databases to mirror or backup server, the routing info you have stored in your cache will no longer be valid. Emptying the cache will require your computer to call ALL the information new from the server, rather than just any updated data.

If the problem persists, reset your shared router and see if that helps.
