IdRatherBeSurfing, SDCali & anyone else still having problems - next time it happens can you do three things.
1. Try to connect to the main site not the forum https://surfing-waves.com
2. Try to connect to http://85.234.143.164/~surfingw/index.php
3. Get the connection details as outlined earlier in this post. Save a copy of what to do on your computer so you have the details when you cannot connect.

Let me know the time that you tried to connect.

Your help is really appreciated.

Tried #1, didn't work, but switched browsers and then it worked fine. It's been happening on and off.

If it is just Surfing Waves that you have this problem with then it is something with the site set up. Next time try 1 & 2 in the same browser.

Yep, still can't get on the forums at all at home. I'm having to sneak peeks at work, when my boss is looking the other way! I tried to get the info for you, mr nice admin man, but Because I couldn't get on the site when I was at home I didnt know how to get the info for you ......

Sorry, boss was trying to talk to me. :P Anyway, I've copied the directions for getting the info, so I'll get it for you ASAP Mr Admin.

I've missed you all!! Speak to ya soon!

SP... I cant get on the site at all when im at work. No problem with other sites, just cant get on this one. Tried putting the address in, and it redirects me to a Google sponsored ''sorry, cant find it but maybe you want....'' or a Google page showing all the different sections of the site (clicking on them doesnt work either). Going in through history doesnt work, neither does clearing cookies and temp files.

Yeah, my only problem has been that work has gotten pretty crazy right now, so I can't spend as much time here. :P

I have been advised that some tinkering has been done. 72 hours will see the results.
Please let me know if thing seem to be back to normal. Especially with those who cannot connect at all from certain places.
Thanks
