I've had problems all day getting to the forum. Anyone else had the same problem, or is it just my computer again? Thanks Steve...

I wasn't aware of any problems today.

Thanks Bill, must be my computer. I had a virus of some sort, that my son found. Right now it seems to be doing alright though. Maybe the "traffic" on the web was extra high in my area. I guess that would affect it I'm told. Thanks anyway.. Good to be able to get back in here though, and check in on things. Steve..

I had the same problem today (Apr 26)somewheres between 11 am and noon central time. I am up in Canada so maybe general internet congestion can be blamed.

I have problems here too sometimes. An hour later it is fine so I suspect there is some net congestion issue.

Yeah I've had the same thing pop up just as of late too.
When I open my web browser, I get the message: "www.electrical-contractor.net is unavailable, please try again later". [Linked Image]
Yet I can go to any other sites in my Favourites.
It's not a regular occurrence, but it is annoying when it does happen.

Pages load very slow this morning.

While they do come up eventually it makes the site unuseable for me......I'm not that patient.

FWIW other sites seem to be performing normal.

I had a problem getting into chat last night, then when I did, I could not type anything, just a blank

It's weird, but for the past few minutes I can't get to the site with Internet Explorer, but it works fine through an AOL account. Different routing maybe?

Bill....got bogus "zone alarm update" while using the chat room...So did Scott....maybe you've been hacked?
Posted By: renosteinke Re: problems getting here - 04/29/05 03:01 AM
Bill...guess what? Zone Alarm NOW has a legit update out. It is possible that the earlier message I received was legit, just not properly set-up.

I was going to ask what a "zone alarm update" was, but I get it now. Recently it seems I've gotten a Mcaffee update just about every day.

I hate to be a complainer Bill, but getting into the Chat room was a real task tonight here.
After I logged in in the normal way, I had the grey window come up, but then where the Java symbol normally is, there was a red "X" and then a window came up that said "You are refused access to www.electrical-contractor.net
I'm not sure, but I reckon it could be something to do with this Firefox browser I'm using.
Anyone have any ideas?.
This is all getting rather creepy. [Linked Image]
