Technical Difficulties

If you try to access Gun Rights Examiner this morning, you will probably get an error message.

Try it.

This began becoming a problem yesterday. Now it looks like I and some others can't access the site at all. I'll announce today's column as soon as it becomes accessible. In the mean time, you might want to try back on this link in a bit.

    worked fine for me

    might be a dns or routing issue that you're experiencing

    Thanks--I'm not the only one experiencing it--different Examiners are getting reports from all over the country.

    I've opened up a troubleshooting ticket and want to wait for the official "all clear" before posting today's column.

    I can't get it to upload and I have excellent broad band service.

    I loaded your main page, but it really looks different. Looks as if they are messing with the format again. Too bad they didn't warn you guys.

    I've already stopped using the "my examiner" page because the log in is so funky and sometimes won't take my password. Easier just to bookmark those I want.

    The examiner has a good thing, but they seem determined to mess it up. For one thing, having a zillion "examiners" in so many frivolous and dopey categories just muddies the water and makes the good stuff harder to find.

    Oh well... thank goodness for bookmarks - and WaronGuns! :)

    there is an ad or search service of some kind which examiner has embedded into its pages.

    these are hypertext references like any other, they direct your browser to go fetch something in order that the server might glean some statistics about the intended page hit.

    that external service had name resolution problems all weekend -- i also experienced these. it was extremely slow, but not outright denied.

    this is typical both of fresh DNS records and of traffic-saturated subsections of networks.

    I got an email from a reader in Germany this morning telling me that he hadn't been able to access my Examiner column since yesterday.
