anyone else having problems connecting to the DU?
today, I was trying to get here by clicking on the DU link I have and all I would get was the microsoft internet could not find page. After repeatedly being denied a connection I then tried a google search and when I clicked on the link thre same thing would happen. what is this due to?

1. I had that problem too. Now I'm experiencing lag time.
Painfully f***ing slow lag! Pages take 10 minutes or more to load, or dont load completely at all!
AAHHRRGG!!! I realize that upgrades are neccesary but its been a couple days now and my nuerotic,impatient personality cannot take much more!
Please! Make it all go away!!

7. My high speed internet and puter, on this site, runs like a 386
on circa 1994 dialup. Unfuckingbeliveably slow!

2. Admins are doing server upgrades
this week.

Elad posted an annoucement over the weekend. It's at the top when you are on the Latest or Top of Forums page.

Expect delays and downtime. ;-)

3. I believe the site was down for a few hours,
A few days back the administration said this would happen.

8. I haven't had probs connecting to DU today...
...but I am experiencing lag times, so much so that some of the larger threads just stop loading, so I end up with a half a thread and the rest of the posts missing.

It probably has something to do with the server upgrades they have been doing.

11. By Skinner's message, it doesn't sound like the upgrade's to blame...
There's a problem with DU's ISP. I hope's not some sort of DOS attack...
