Roll back the server or pass the baton

[ocean1]

I got the PM about moving servers, thanks! This is rediculous though. Unless its a full moon, leap year and the sun is shining on my dogs ass we cant get on anymore. If you do a search on sdreefs the value has went from almost 5k to under 2k because of traffic and issues. You are killing this site. PLEASE restore it before enough get tired of the issues trying to get on and just move to other forums. I had to use Kproxy to get on. Those not so savy will just give up. What was wrong with the way it was ?
Look at your daily traffic its got to be getting killed. The crawlers cant even get on.
Sorry had to vent.. Just bummed love to read the posts for local reefers.

It should be back to normal soon. We just need to be patient, we still have sdmas.com and socalireefs.com to keep you occupied for a while.

Try this... open a command prompt, then type ipconfig /flushdns then ENTER, and try sdreefs again.

Ok, computer challenged here, how do you open a command prompt. This kproxy thing is really anoying with all the pop ups. I don't understand why the site works through kproxy but not without. My computer could log on once in the past few days, otherwise its not available. I'm afraid people will stop checking the site if it goes on too long.

Ok, computer challenged here, how do you open a command prompt.

Start, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt.

If it's not there: Start, Run, type CMD, the press Enter

Clear out the cookies related to SDR, the history and emp internet files. No more problem.
I have been able to get on w/ NO probs for the last few days.

[Live Water Aquariums]

Start, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt.

If it's not there: Start, Run, type CMD, the press Enter

Ok I tried it and it said "operation requested requires elevation".

I know how to eat cookies, but I don't know how to deliet them.
I'm only 31 years old but I feel like an old man when it comes to computer stuff.

I agree I got the same thing... as kevin.

Aly and Kevin: you're running Vista which I can't help with. I refuse to allow it on any of my computers!

Flushing the DNS got me back on at least for the moment =) I found that if you have Windows Vista you need to go to accessories, Cmd prompt, right click open as administrator.. from there as above flush the DNS.
I can figure out how to clear selected cookies having to deal with Sdreefs in Firefox. I dont want to delete them all. Any one know how to get to the folder?
I think the ADMIN of this site should be/ have a thread about the issues and how to resolve them like we are doing here. Quite odd....
Maybe someone can sticky some info on how to flush DNS and clear cookies temp etc.. Someone has got to care right????

[socalaly]

HAHAHA.... I use xp at work...ill try it there too... LOL...but yes my lap top is vista...haha

[socalaly]

okay I did the flush...well it didn't work.........errrrrrrrrrrrr

EDIT: And I erased all my sdreefs cookies and nothing...

You can use a proxy server to get in like Kproxy or one of the others. Search Proxy server or DNS. The only problem with Kproxy is all the darn adds and pop ups you have to go through. But it will get you to the site...
