from the posting it looks like it too. I always use a shortcut to get to the forum. It didn't work and so then I just typed the URL without the "/forum" and it still didn't work. I did finally get here with the shortcut I always use. It's the first time that has happened. I was not able to get here with the iphone either and that uses Safari.

That's weird? I've honestly not had any problems tonight.

years ago I had a problem getting on a site and it ended up being something with re-newing the name vs the actual site number thing. I had tech on the phone and they asked me to type in some numbers and it went to their site BUT the written words did not take me to it. I bet something like that. hawg or other IT guys will know what I mean here.
if anyone scould tell me the number address for this place I will do that if it ever happens again.

Sounds like your DNS Server/Provider is wacked. Next time it happens, do this:

Start
Run
Type in: cmd
A Windows Command Prompt window will pop up
Type in: ping www.s197forum.com
You will be given an IP address for the website.

I currently have 205.234.97.118 for the IP for the site. Technically you could type in that number into your brower and the S197 home page but something is not configured correctly for that to happen. It might be something Kimmer can fix or the hosting company will have to configure it...

You can verify the info by using the same command prompt and typing in: tracert www.s197forum.com.
