Is anyone else having trouble with DU?

[Mind_your_head]

Couldn't get on twice now today, although I could access other websites just fine. Looking at the time-stamps of the "most recent posts", it looks like DU was down for 20 minutes or so just now. Right now it's very laggy.

i'm trying to reply to a couple people and i keep getting "internet explorer cannot display this webpage"

wonder if this thread will even get posted

my last one didn't. and i just went to spell check this and i got the same message on the spell check.

4. Same. I've been 'shut down' five times in the last thirty some minutes.

Is it "DU"?

9. ,...I just noticed any post I made,...was shut down, too.

*shrug*

I'm sure it's just a glitch.

11. Same thing has repeatedly happened to me. When I managed to respond to an original post, it took

his graphics and transferred them to my text section, even though my comment ended in "n/t".

14. Just saw that.....Elad says:

"We experienced some significant downtime today due to a problem with our database server. We have determined that one of the hard drives in our server is failing and needs to be replaced. We are working as fast as we can to replace it. In the meantime, we expect to have sub-par performance and potential periods of downtime.

Please also note that this is a specific hardware issue unrelated to the problems we were having the past several weeks.

We will keep you posted when we have updates."

(Just in case the site crashes again before someone gets to actually read his thread ;-) )

13. Hard Drive Problems

This is not associated with the earlier server problems, but rather a hard drive that is dying.. They are replacing it... It should all be fixed very shortly....
