Problems staying on Rootschat
« on: Tuesday 08 August 06 21:47 BST (UK) »
Does anybody else have freeze out problems with this site? Sometimes I can browse Rootschat quite happily for ages before it happens other times I am only here for a few minutes and then "freeze", none of the links will work and I have to reboot and try again. Sometimes I can't even get back in.
I have to point out that this does not happen on any other site bar this one so there is nothing wrong with my connection.
Can anybody explain?

Hi joanne56

I have trouble gaining access to rootschat occasionally.  I assume the server is busy and I try again later and have no problems.  I'm not sure whether it is a rootschat server problem.  I ususally find I can enter other websites without a any trouble so it is not an ISP problem.

Mind you, I have problems accessing yahoo.com from time to time as well.  Popular sites can be inaccessible possibly because they are overwhelmed by users at critical times.

Joanne :) :)

I occasionally have trouble but I get a notice saying someting to the effect "server is busy and try again later". I do and have no problem.

At times, I have the same sort of situation with my hotmail and yahoo accounts.
