Server Problems?
Server Problems?
Why do I sometimes have to hit refresh like 4 or 5 times before opening a thread or viewing a topic? I get "Page Cannot Be Displayed" windows, in fact, I'm retyping this thread because it happened 2 seconds ago when I first attempted to post this. Is anyone else having problems with this?

I know this is more of a "Feedback" issue, but I find I am having the exact same problem on occasions.
I also get a 'can't post message so soon after last message' message. And so I go to repost and find I have posted twice.
Strange.

Here's what I consistently get (had to refresh the page 4 times just now):

Guys, there are several threads on this topic in the Feedback Forum here, which is where I'll move this:
http://www.ultimatedisney.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2
I've looked into the matter again and again, sending countless e-mails, but my host has provided little help. Having already put a good deal of money into them, which covers me through early next year, I can't think of anything else, beyond getting a new host, which will cost even more money.
I'm really sorry about this crap - it really, really sucks, I know. If you can recommend a new host or anything that could resolve this, I'd be most appreciative.
Do check out the forums in Feedback to see how long this has been going on and how much it's annoying everyone...and how NOT to pick a web host.

I just sent another e-mail to Netfirms - this one was harsher than the previous ones but I doubt any good will come from it.
This is so damn frustrating. It's hard as hell for people to find this site, and then they do, and they check out the forum, and they try to post and their messages are lost.
I don't know if I would deal with this page-loading problems if I weren't the webmaster here.
My apologies to anyone frustrated by this mess. Please don't give up on the site.

Its cool Luke, I just wanted to know if I was the only one experiencing these annoying little server glitches and let you know about them. I'm not going anywhere though, this site is great. Hopefully your host will work on fixing the problem..Luke wrote:I just sent another e-mail to Netfirms - this one was harsher than the previous ones but I doubt any good will come from it.
