No disrespect taken, brandnewb.
You're welcome to post.  I admit I don't follow what you're trying to do, yet, but I'll watch and see what happens.
Note that some folks have thinner skins than others. 

This is the internet, after all.

When he said its hangs, he is referring to the stream of connection errors popping up this past two weeks.  Its not just here.  It makes me think something is going on with internet servers in general.

its not my experience that the forum hangs, but rather sometimes it will not load.

this is the error i usually get

the miss spelling is intentional, as it is currently working for me.

I recently got a 502 bad gateway message trying to come here. It didn't last long. FB was also flakey. Now I hear Twitter was down for 45 minutes. Must be a lot of maintenance going on.

Yes I have seen the gateway error aswell. Were dealing with 3 issues. The gateway error comes from Xfinity (1) the host is doing its best it can. Flavio has the master access to all of the system. Sometimes it takes a bit to get things sorted. We have control of what we need to do.

Hello, this sort of stuff is beyond our control as DNS servers around the world may fail all of a sudden for whatever reason. You may want to change the DNS server addresses your devices are pointing to, locally. You will find a guide for example here: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using it's a very long page but pretty much just find your kind of device (Windows, Mac, Linux etc etc) and throw 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.8.8 as DNS addresses, so you will be using Google ones that are generally better than the garbage that the internet service providers automatically give you.

It may very well be the only site that goes through that particular routing through the DNS or some ports flapping along the way. It doesn't change the answer, and Google DNS is better anyway, I even set my family phones to use those :)

@JW servers could be in Zimbabwe and they would work nonetheless ;D But they would take like 150ms longer to reply to any request from USA, which is where the majority of users are located. Realistically what this site is, is a single virtual machine inside a giant datacenter somewhere :)

Its your provider's routing that is the issue, as in the server provider.

I know what your saying Flavio, the server must be located in the USA for legal reasons. Trust me I periodically call the host and ask where is the server :ie is physically located in the US.

The only thing I regret  c+ I wish I would learned.

I am still looking to build a/ program. I hate being a master auto tech, it is very hard physically. Life was good as a process engineer.

Negative, if the DNS happened to be wrong on our nameservers nobody would be able to see the site, including admins.
I was getting similar stuff back when I was using my own internet provider DNS servers, and they were randomly throwing errors for some sites (including this one). All gone ever since I switched to Google ones... But regardless it is not an issue on our end, and there is nothing us or anyone other than end users can do about it - the only solution is to change the address of whichever DNS servers your device(s) are contacting.
Trust me I periodically call the host and ask where is the server :ie is physically located in the US.
Lol don't, there's no need to keep asking, they won't randomly change your datacenter unless a disaster recovery procedure or an high availability one starts for whatever reason. They will surely swap your host every now and then with vMotion or DRS (VMWare internal functions, but it's similar on Nutanix or whatever system they're using), but this doesn't affect performance or location for us. And I'm pretty sure ours won't be marked as a critical service that needs high availability and such ;D

yes, that is exactly what I meant. There is (maybe was, I havent checked since I got reinstated) something going on that makes this site behave erratically. Sometimes it loads fast sometimes some or al underling network calls
"hang", "stall", "time out"

Why would I deliberately insult this community while depending on it so much?

It could ease one's mind to know that I am such an internet engineer. Started developing my skills in 1995 and only IP6 still eludes me. The rest I've got, naively, covered.
