**UPDATE No.2** Refresh refresh refresh… Damn website! I’ll refresh YOU!

reefer_madness.jpgIt’s REFRESH MADNESS!!!!!!!!! 

Is anyone else out there having to hit refresh like three or four times to get TGTBTU to come up for you? Please comment here if you’re similarly afflicted and let me know who your service provider is (Cox, Time Warner, the devil…).

Thanks!

**UPDATE**

Apparently our server host, Dotster, is having some database/server issue and they’re working on it.  No ETA on the repair.  Please have patience with us while we sacrifice a few chickens to the Internet gods.  Dibs on the drumsticks.

**UPDATE No. 2**

It would seem the problem is now fixed on our external-facing site.  So you readers should not be having more problems.  However, please let us know if you are.  Now if I can just get them to fix it on the admin pages too…

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

    I keep getting an error page when I try to pull it up from my favorites list. I usually just pull the favorites down again and click on it 2 or 3 more times and it will finally come up. Today is the only day that has happened though. I have cable internet and it is a local company.

    It happened both at my work and home. At home I have DSL thru AT&T. At work? Private network. I get a white screen that says “Error Establishing A Database Connection” but then I hit refresh (just once) and there you guys are.

    I get the dreaded “500″ message, but after 2 or 3 tries (refresh doesn’t work, must hit the back browser button and try again), I’ve been getting each screen up.

    I’m running IE7 on Vista through Time Warner Cable.

    Don’t believe the ISP has anything to do with it Sybil, but the browser and site coding error or the page server errors. I’m using IE7 WinXP – had to refresh 3-4 times – you get the internal HTTP 500 error. But, if I go to the browser advanced options and uncheck “show friendly http messages” as suggested googling, then I have no problem at home. Supposedly you get that HTTP message when the error message is not a lengthy one. Of course, this doesn’t help you figure out the problem.

    See this page, might help:

    Gwen,

    I have the problem since yesterday. It started yesterday around midday and I still have problems.

    Gwen I’m having the same problem since yesterday. I get the message Wendy gets. I have DSL through Spring, and use Firefox.

    Also, I’m having a lot of trouble trying to post comments–instead of posting, I get the error message again, and have to start over. *crossing fingers that this one does post*

    I’ve been getting that error for the past few days, I have Bright House cable internet and I use Firefox.

    Nope. Something isn’t right. Not to be debbie downer or anything.

    Mmmm… how can I put this?

    Lemme see…

    Nope. Still eating comments and not loading on the first–and sometimes the second or third–try.

    Okay, now it seems to be better… *crossing fingers*

    I have high speed cable internet thru Comcast. You load without any refresh, but it loads so slooooowwwwwwly that it reminds me of my old 56 k modem.
