Check things your own end perhaps? I've had that on occasion with other websites, but it's usually my ISP that's the culprit. Quote Link to post

Oh, my bad then. Perhaps there were some issues earlier today. I didn't log on until late this afternoon, so I must have missed them. Quote Link to post
wetmanjf 2,743 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Not my end..as I can access everything else fine. That was about the same time here....Oh well wetmanjf Quote Link to post
Admin 14,329 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'll check to see if our host had any downtime; please let me know if you experience this again (and at what time). Thanks. Quote Link to post
sumrexus 73 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Never had a problem I always come straight here :) Quote Link to post
Admin 14,329 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Did you attempt to access the site in any other browsers? I was on here earlier using Chrome and it loaded as usual. Quote Link to post
steve25805 120,703 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I am using IE and that is fine with me. I have just attempted access via Firefox as am experiment. It couldn't find this site at all with it's default sarch engine (searchqu, or something like that I think) but searching via Yahoo on Firefox seemed to work fine with me. But if others are having problems with Firefox it could well affect traffic here. Quote Link to post
Admin 14,329 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I am using Chrome right now, in order to access the site. Some change that was made yesterday apparently is not working in Firefox. I have not tried using IE That's odd, no changes were made that should affect anything like that. In firefox, have you tried clearing your cache and doing a hard refresh (ctrl + F5) - long shot but worth a try. Steve - how did the actual layout of the site look in firefox for you? Search engine results shouldn't be affected based on the browser used. Quote Link to post
steve25805 120,703 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hi Here is a screenshot of what I see and what I got when I try to search for this site on Firefox. But my menu bar includes Yahoo search as an option and searching in there works.... Quote Link to post
Admin 14,329 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Sorry Steve, I meant the layout of the site when you type www.watchgirlspeeing.com into the address bar. Does the template load properly as that's the issue Egwalrus is referring to? The site is still new so I'm not worried about us not appearing in rankings for search engines other than the main ones (google, yahoo and bing) at the moment. That's not anything in our control anyway. I have cleared the cache, and done a hard refresh. I even did a reinstall of Firefox, but no luck. I can access the site using chrome, but worry about others not being able to access it. That's odd as it loads fine in Firefox for me. Obviously I'm grateful you let me know about this, I'm just wondering if anyone else can comment on any firefox issues? Quote Link to post

I never had the problem Egwalrus showed us earlier. Typing www.watchgirlspeeing.com into the address bar works fine for me too. Quote Link to post
steve25805 120,703 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Had an idea.....Egwalrus is accessing the site from the USA. So does MissPiss. Just in case this is a problem that only affects the USA or North America, perhaps you could ask MissPiss if she has any issues with Firefox? Quote Link to post
Admin 14,329 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Glad it's all sorted now, but if anyone else has any similar issues to any that were mentioned in this thread, please do let me know. :) Quote Link to post
nopjans 1,142 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I don't know where this site is hosted, but I believe there are some DNS issues at work. When I use my ISP's DNS servers, I see this from time to time. If I use other DNS servers, like Google's or OpenDNS, the issue immediately goes away. I don't know what that necessarily means, but it's another point of data. Quote Link to post
Wetenvious 47 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have had several occasions where I tried to log onto the site and I get a error saying "Server not found" has anyone else had this problem? wetmanjf It happens to me every now and then when I try to connect to the site on my phone. At first I thought it was the signal but other websites worked while this one said server not found. It will say that for a while and magically later, it will work on just fine even if I didnt move to anywhere. Ive never had it happen to me on my laptop so im not sure if its just the phone or the servers for real, but im glad to see im not the only one and like someone posted already, it may be why sometimes it feels very quiet around here.

I can currently access the site fine in Firefox and our server isn't showing any downtime. I'll look into it for you, of course. Has anyone else had this issue though? Quote Link to post

Admin 14,329 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I've looked into this a little but can't understand why you'd have this problem. Please let me know if it happens again and at what time. The more details you can give me (the exact error message, the browser used etc) the more likely we'll be able to get it solved. Thanks - and once again sorry about this! Quote Link to post
