Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again.

content: The mjlorton.com domain was expired few days ago, its back now just recently, I guess you will have to wait until the new refresed dns copy got replicated at your dns server, or just change to public dns like google's dns 8.8.8.8.

content: You're not the only one.In Firefox I get either Error 500 (internal server error) or that typical domain expired ads page. In Internet Explorer I get the actual site and the forum. I don't understand it, tried setting the useragent on firefox to the one IE uses and it still doesn't work right.Martin says only the mobile version has some issues so I don't know what to say.

content: Yeah, my system basically stays on 24/7 ... but it's due for a restart. I accidentally accepted a windows update about 3 days ago and since then every 4 hours I hit postpone to rebooting the system.I didn't restart Firefox (too may tabs open that I don't want to bookmark but yet I don't want to forget about them) so I guess it still cached somewhere something.Still, it's really strange that if i get the domain expired page with sponsored links on it, when I hit the reload button in the browser, the server will give me an internet server error (http 500). No proxies, I have the ISP's dns as primary and OpenDNS as secondary DNS in the router... just weird.Anyway, I'm going to restart the system like I said, hopefully it will work fine then.

content: Quote from: Seekonk on March 01, 2016, 07:27:57 pmYes. Martin's forum is quite dead compared to here. I think most of his subscribers/members communicate via youtube forums, but I hate that comment/feedback/format and won't participate anywhere on youtube.QuoteI get that too. It started about 3 days ago?This seems to work,https://www.eevblog.com/forum/unread/?c=2but I'm unsure if both do the same thing or not?

content: Quote from: RobertoLG on March 01, 2016, 10:30:34 pmYes, I have seen your problem with making of attachements. (Seemed solved)Also the change to "...secure1..." and back to MJLorton.com.And his post about the possible use of a backup.But since seven days only the upgrading message pops up (sometimes not even this).A little message from Martin over his youtube-channel would have been nice.Maybe it will happen in this thread.
