Hm, for me it's everything working fine: I can lookup sets and can search for items -- everythings seems to display correctly ...

No problems here either.

How odd. I still can't get it to work and I've never had this problem before. ???

All I can think is that it might be a firewall issue, but as far as I know I haven't changed anything in my browser settings that would prevent me from accessing the site.

Must look into this.

Thanks for the info, Val. :)

It's still not working for me, but doing a google on the site's IP address in quotes ("66.48.80.138") seems to suggest that it's been identified as a spammer.

Hi gang,

I don't know what's wrong with PlaymoDB on your side of the pond.  (Is it all UK and Euro folks having trouble?)  The spammer issue is (I hope) a red herring since it's a shared server; I did the same google as playmofire and did see the IP is some lists, but nothing recent.  Can someone do a ping and a traceroute and send me the results?  ( playmodb@gmail.com shouldn't be affected by anything!)  Also when reporting problems, saying exactly what happened helps a lot (some of you have, thanks): can't get to any page, can't get to "inner" pages, get a "page not found" error, "timed out" error, in just one or any browser, other weirdness.

I'll let you know what I find out!
Cheers, Heather

Hi Heather,

The timed out connection message comes up.  At first, I could get to your home page and then the timed out connection message came up.

I've done a ping and tracert and saved them (thanks to your instructions) and have emailed them to you at the address you gave.

Just an update for anyone not able to reach PlaymoDB (usually UK members).

There appears to be a problem with a server in Toronto.  Heather knows about this and is raising the matter with them.

Glad to see I was able to help, and thanks to Heather for her assistance in telling me what to do.
