Ok.. I know this has nothing to do with Caedes.. but i'm ready to see if my computer can fly when i throw it outta the window..
I'm having trouble opening a site (3 days of it telling me "Connection Time Has Run Out"), I can get into other sites with no problems just this one.. and yes I have checked the firewall, i've cleaned out the cache and cookies..
Someone PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEE save my sanity and the computer.. ;)
nope site is working for everyone else.. its got to be a computer prob.. or internet prob. because it wont work on my sons computer either (he's networked to mine)

DA has been very slow at times, somewhat unresponsive even trying to switch from one page to another. It does seem to happen when there are a lot of users online.

Ok ... I was going to suggest that you check that dA had not been inadvertently added to your list of restricted sites.
For IE users, you can check this by looking under "Internet Options" >> "Security" >> "Restricted Sites."
Firefox users ... well ... let's just say that the chances of encountering this type of error is quite minimal. Unless you have some kind of third party addon that manages your HOSTS file. This shouldn't be a consideration.
And ... I'm done.
*checks that one off his list of things to do*
Yep ... another useless post by me, lol.
Oh oh ... I think I am suffering from Noahitis. :o\ (JOKe)
Rendo's nice Curt, but don't you find it a liitle cold ? I haven't heard of Runtime DNA though. Another really nice site is ArtNutz... though a little too rah rah for me.
ROFLMAO.. I feel so young again with that comment ;).. well sweety i doubt my parents even know how to turn on a computer.. and... i'm a big girl now.. i can look at restricted sites ;)
Couple questions Jacq...what version of Firefox are you using? What type of internet connection do you have? What time of day are you trying this...or is a constant no matter what time of day? Will it access if you google search and connect...or does it hang no matter if you direct connect or go from links?
Some sites when they have a high traffic they cannot keep up and the servers slow down or flat out reject connections...however a few versions of Firefox (older ones mostly) were not completely stable either, and if they couldn't get a connection on first try, they didn't always refresh.
Could be a number of things, but from the sounds of it, it appears it could be a DA server issue
I heven't had any problems getting onto DA and I visit several times a day... so it must be related to your PC somehow, although it could be a combination of your settings and a change to the site... sorry I don't know enough to offer any useful advice...
Jenn:- Firefox was updated recently.. I have cable connection *zoom zoom.. ;) .. It is happening at all times.. I cant even access it through google or yahoo and even when I go from links to DA *sob sob... I dont know what else I can do.. i've checked the firewall settings etc and they are ok.. What have I done to them to lock me out in the cold cruel world all alone.. *sob sob
Sam:- I was getting into it fine.. then when it was down for maintenance a few days ago, I got in once after that, then locked out for almost 5 days now..
I got a pm from Andrew.. "deviantart is getting a new server and until they do you're going to be timed out...im having the same problems =["
What I am suggesting is that it may be the combination of your setup and the changes that DA have made that might be causing the problem, rather than one or the other.... maybe something similar to what caedes describes under the "Broken thumbnail" thread: "We changed the ip address of the image server (i3.caedes.net) a few days ago. By now, all cached DNS requests should have updated. If they have not updated by now then they are being bad and there is really nothing that I can do about it."
So the changes to the site may have caused the problem, but only when combined with the issue of the individual members particular setup.
well.. I thought maybe.. just maybe.. if i turned the net connection off for awhile some magic would happen and all will be well .... HA! still the same.. looks like i'm going to have to call someone for help
