Just me or is anyone else having problems getting on CC

I have dial-up and sometimes it takes 5 min for the forum page to come up, but I figured it was just my cheap connection.

Thanks to all for reporting the various problems....
..they are all pretty much what we know already.

As Brent posted last night, there are several critical problems that are at the root of this...and he is trying different fixes.
In that process, sometimes you have to make a change and see if things get better...or worse.

Without great boring tech details, there are a few things in the server that mysteriously stop working at random. When that happens, you sometimes see the "PHP Error..." string. Often, the only recovery is to manually restart some of the services on the server. But "someone" has to "press the button" for that to happen... which may be a while at different times of the day.

To work around that, we put a task on the server to stop/start these services, whether they need it or not, on an hourly schedule. When that kicks in, the restart time makes the server temporarily unavailable... hence, the "404" errors you have been seeing during the course of the day.

I believe Brent stopped that cycle last night to avoid that annoyance.

Anyhow...the issues are known....we are trying fixes and updates to isolate the root causes.

Thanks again for reporting the details.
