content: Oh good, it's not just me then :-)I've been getting:Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.as well as the session timeout out while posting message.as well as problems with unread messages not showing up.And I don't know if there's been a change with the Google Ads at the top of the forum,but either I haven't been paying attention or they look different now. And few of themseem to have any electronics connection -- I thought Google targeted ads better than that!I've had no luck posting anything with high-resolution photos either -- don't know if thisis related or not.Scott

content: I've had it and I've had the server refusing to respond numerous times over the last few days on 3 different computers, so unless you have been playing with your setup I suggest you start giving your hoster hell as it's not the sort of thing one normally expects from a host.The error was 505

content: Seems like it is a problem with SMF. Is this a fresh install of 1.1.11 or was it updated from a previous build? In version 1.1.7 and .8 they had a lot of trouble with this happening with a security release for that version. I think it has to do with the theme and the index.template.php. You might want to wipe that out and replace it with fresh files and see what happens.

I quite often use the site below to check if there's a problem with a website and it showed the EEVBlog as being down for quite a whileI've also had problems posting throughout the day too.http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

content: Things seem to be, uh, less bad tonight.I'm not getting timeout errors, but when clicking on an unread message, Isuddenly got dumped back to a login screen. I was able to log back inand continue on, but that was weird.Maybe the physical disk the forum is on is having I/O errors? AlthoughI would expect the hosting company to monitor for that. Actually, I'dexpect them to run everything in virtual machines, and move the virtualmachine if the physical machine is having problems :-)Scott
