Main site falling apart?

[Chiz]

First off, no, this isn't another one of my rants about how the site isn't as it once was etc etc etc.

Mainly, it's about the increasing problems I've been having accessing the main site.

1) I found that the site is often unreachable aka a lot of spontaneous downtime (and even making use of the ping command occasionally comes back as a 100% loss, assuming it can find the IP number to MMLS's server at all)

and

2) The bar at the top has vanished (link). Instead it's been replaced with a fun printout of various keywords (but strangly not the contents of the keyword field).

Hopefully that's it, but ya never know. Hopefully this can all be fixed sometime soon, right?

*nudges fab with elbow* ...RIGHT?!

[Blues]

Funny, I've had no problems with accessing the site, nor have I seen any problems with the site.

[Dashe]

Yeah, it works fine for me. Only problem is that it hasn't been updated in a LOOOOOOOOONG time. *shrugs* Maybe it's your computer or your connection or something?

[Dash]

Yeah, I'm with Dashe on this one. There isn't anything wrong with the site Eric, you're just paranoid. O.o

[Musashi]

No problem here, either...so I think you internet is screwy..o.o

[Shift]

It's that damn screensaver! STOP LOOKING AT IT, CHIZ!!!

[JMC47]

I've actually had the same problem as Chiz before, just not recently. I assume its more of a browser problem or something.

If you're using Adblock or Adblock Plus in Firefox, you may wanna disable adblocking on the MMLS site. That's what happened to me, and when I disabled adblocking, I could see the stuff again.

[Chiz]

I wish it was that, but when I problems with AdBlock Plus, I whitelisted all of the legends-station domain. That quickly solved those problems.



Any other suggestions?

That's really odd, to say the least. Every potential problem I think of, I then think of something that isn't happening that would be in said scenario, thus ruling it out...

Just for the heck of it, I tampered with a few (likely irrelevant) things. See if it works any better? If not, um... your guess is as good as mine. V4 isn't too terribly far down the road. Now if you have problems when that comes, we've got big trouble.

I found the segment of code where what's printed at the top of the screen is stored:

 This site is dedicated entirely to the Mega Man Legends (MegaMan) series of
 games! Mega Man Legends, that's it! If you've looked, then you know how rare
 it is to find a Mega Man Legends site like this one, and even big time Mega
 Man sites often have little or nothing in their Mega Man Legends section...
 So, that is why I have created Mega Man Legends Station, simply to be THE ultimate
 source for the Mega Man Legends series! We hope you have fun in Mega Man Legends
 Station! Mega Man Legends Station is part of the WPG network of gaming sites.

BTW, this bug pointed out (to me, at least) your less-than-publicized subsite, Dreams
