Vagabondi Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi everyone For some reason I just couldn't open the forum and the blog for about two weeks. Kept getting the same error - The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. Please try again later. The antivirus was silent btw. Tried different browsers - reset DNS cache - temporarily disabled ABP - zero results. 'IsTheSiteDown' said it was just me. Tried proxy - it did load but extremely slow and without images (and I could not log in, of course). Today it's suddenly okay again - both Rick's blog and the forum load fine. Logged in here from the second attempt. I just wonder (for the future) what might cause this weird behavior... Have a good day people!

Pixey Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I wondered where you were you had gone 😱 That is rather strange and could possibly have been your server? Occasionally I get the same reaction when trying to get to a site, but not paint.net, and have assumed it's gremlins in the server 👾 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

BoltBait Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It was probably a problem on your end. If that ever happens again, clear your cache and try your favorite site again.

I mean, it happens once in a few months with a random site, like a music blog or another software site/forum (but never PDN). And the site is never down or under construction - it is always "just me" And it lasts for weeks - never for a day or two. Finally I stop checking and after a while - boom! They are back. None of the typical solutions has ever helped to fix it. 18 minutes ago, BoltBait said: It was probably a problem on your end Obviously so but it lies deeper than I can figure out. 19 minutes ago, BoltBait said: clear your cache Nah... I wish it was that easy. I got 'clear history when Firefox closes' (cookies and cache) and still, clearing is the first thing I try. Never helps. Edge was useless too. I kinda like @Pixey's version better... more realistic Quote my gallery is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I had a favorite site refuse to load for a couple of weeks. I was tearing my hair out. Eventually I reset my router DNS to Google's [8.8.8.8] for an hour & then changed it back. The refresh resolved my issue. info: https://www.howtogeek.com/167533/the-ultimate-guide-to-changing-your-dns-server/ and https://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-change-your-dns-for-safer-faster-browsing--mac-61232 2 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagabondi Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 @Ego Eram Reputo thanks for the links - really clear and detailed (I kinda know the trick but I have never known it better than now 😃 ) Perhaps the key was IPv4 AND IPv6 - either switch both or uncheck one. We'll see next time... 11 hours ago, Rick Brewster said: Ghosts in the system 👻 Or the global reason that explains anything: If only I could install a coder's brain and double boot...
