A couple of staff members have told me that their having problems with the forum not loading, or having a hard time accessing the site.

Is anyone else having problems, and if so, what error messages are you getting??

Also, when did you first notice the problem?
 
So far so good? No issues here.
 
Usually/always can access/log into main site. Sometimes in past 2-3 weeks will click on a thread and get a message to the effect of

Cannot connect with site www.therangerstation.com. Possible cause: too busy. Try back later.

Other times works fine (like now)

Will try to do a screen grab next time it happens
 
I generally have issues with all things internet. TRS loading is about the only problem I don't have on a regular basis.
 
All clear here jim
 
Haven't had a problem with TRS loading in years.
 
One brief error so far today.

Scratch that - it happened again right after I posted.

For about two minutes, I couldn't access it through any browser from my work's internet connection (via Lumos, for whatever that's worth). From my cell phone with a Verizon 4G connection, no problem. Refreshed repeatedly on both devices with consistent results - no joy through the Lumos connection, perfect on the cell phone.

At the same time, I had a constant ping running to therangerstation.com. It was responding flawlessly from my desktop to 208.87.25.8 - no drops the whole time.

I've got a remote session open to my desktop at home right now (it's on Cox cable). If the problem crops up again, I'll try to check it through that as well.

Yep, just had a notice saying the site was unavailable, try again later. I'm using Firefox 59.0.1. I'm going to update to version 59.0.2 and see if anything changes.
 
For what it's worth, I was on Firefox 59.0 and Chrome 65.0.3325.181 when it was acting up.
 
Sometimes when I check a thread and hit the Back key it'll say something like This site was just here, try to refresh. Not always happening, but occasionally.
 
I typing from my phone because I can't access TRS from my home computer. I get a white screen with a spinning loading icon. All other sites are fine.
 
Happened today about 2:00 pm CST. Firefox updated this morning. I had been browsing TRS without incident, clicked on another thread, then this happened.

Grabbed a screenshot, waited a couple of minutes, was then able to access TRS. Navigated to this thread and hit reply - lost the connection a couple more times on the way, but it was okay after a brief wait both times.

I am having the exact same issue except it's almost 90% of the time I can't get through on the side on my computer.
 
No problem here.

No issues but I exclusively use my iPhone on xfiniti mobile for all internet activity
