Same here. Got a "Coming soon" parking page from last evening about 11:30EST till just a few minutes ago.

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

That was a name server switch that went awry, sorry about the DNS craziness.

Now to address the email issue... thanks a ton for your patience, loyalty and understanding.

Whew... I was also re-directed to an under construction site for the past half day, thought it was my browser being hacked, got to my other computer at work and dvinfo comes up fine now.

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

Me too. Went through a lot of gyrations, including running malware scans and checking from a Linux based computer. Just got back on here while I was on the phone with my ISP and was about to try working on my router..

I have a question about this at Adobe's PPro formum and I post Chris's reply above.

Good to know it was not me.

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

I am glad to see that dvinfo.net is up and running again! Last night, it pointed to one of those generic web page one would see when the intended web site "closed its doors".

What happened?!?!?

Anyway. . . it doesn't matter what happened. What matters is that dvinfo.net is up again. Now I can resume lurking about and learning what I need to learn about video production.

Thank you, Chris Hurd, for keeping this WONDERFUL web site up and running. It meets the needs of many people (like myself) seeking information. . . and sharing information.

Wow, like so many of us, the idea of this site being unavailable is unthinkable. I'm so glad things are back, again!

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

Welcome back DVINFO...been missing you all day..I thought there was something wrong with my computer or internet...it was like a nightmare...I was doing some editing video and every 10 minutes checked for Dvinfo and it was'nt there...so glad you are back...:-)

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

For me it was a genuine "WTF" moment this morning...
and I hardly ever use that abbreviation very much at all.

It might be worth pointing out that DVi is constantly backed up,
with server images made on a daily and weekly basis. This time
it was just a DNS glitch, but if the forum database ever explodes
for some reason, we can get it back pretty easily with a minimal
loss of data.

We've been around for more than ten years and we're not going
away anytime soon, that's for sure.

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

It's pretty funny, I've been like a coal miner lately, mining the data the past few days for answers to questions I have on the usual: lighting, audio, business, vegas, the new Canon camera I can't afford... it's kind of like a daily routine mixed in with e-mail, espn.com, etc. and then suddenly dvinfo wasn't there, wasn't even available... it was like reaching for the first cup of coffee in the morning and the cup was empty, or walking down a staircase and having the handrail disappear... frightening....

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

I felt the same way Bill. I was completely out of sorts when I couldn't check in, it was weird and scary.

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

I felt like someone had chopped off a limb, I really didn't know what to do when I couldn't start my day the DVinfo way!

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

It was interesting that google was still indexing the site so I figured it was a DNS issue.

Glad it all got straightened out.

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

I guessed that the server was being worked on when the email notifications started to come through, for the first time in months, even though the site was not appearing.

It's good to have them working again!

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

Having problems on iPad for about a week; finally got around to a restart, which I thought would fix it, but it didn't.

When using iPad Safari, current version from iOS 6.1.3, it requires a double-click on the back button to go to the previous page. If I display the recent history by holding the back button, it shows two entries for every page I've visited.

This affects dvinfo.net/forum only, and only on safari/iPad. Other sites unaffected, Chrome on iPad unaffected.

Please feel free to contact me via PM if I can help further or test any fixes.

Re: Any site / server problems -- post here.
 

Now working fine!
