...will not open for me. Been this way since yesterday for some reason. I can see the home page, but when I click of the link for the forum at the tope left I keep getting a blank page saying it won't connect.
 
Hi Bill,

I just tried it and no issues at all. Try clearing your history and browse cache then try it again...

I would if I knew how lol.

I haven't changed anything on my end and the site worked fine a few days ago, so I don't see why there would be an issue on my end...but I'm no computer guru.

Are you reffering to the piece of metal that seperates the engine compartment from the cockpit? I hardly see how that will help, but if you say so I'll go look at mine


What am I suppose to look for anyway? :)

Have you used another browser ??

I have two other browsers...that I rarely use because I don't like them. I've changed nothing on this browser and it was working. I can view the hom page, how-to's, sale pages, but not the forum. I don't think the issue is on my end.

Has to be on your end if everyone else is able to see it.

What URL are you going to when you try to access the forum? If you click on this link, what does it say?

Autopia Forums - Auto Detailing & Car Discussion Forum
 
Charlie, it's a blank page that indicates it's taking forever to load and then this:


"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

What you can try:

Diagnose Connection Problems

More information"




"Network diagnostics pinged the remote host but did not recieve a response."

It tried making a repair, but failed. Maybe it is on my end. I'll try restarting my computer and see what happens.


I'm going to try restarting my computer. I've ran the diagnostics and it keeps telling me there's still a problem with
 
Open your command prompt and try the following:

ipconfig /flushdns


Close and re-open your browser.
 
Restarted my computer and it's still not loading the forum page.

That's strange. I only visit that forum a few times a week tops while I visit AGO multiple times a day, everday. You'd think if it's doing it on one forum it would do it on another.

I'd open it if I knew where it was, or what you were talking about. Do you mean to type that into the search function after clicking on the start button?

Sorry about that. Click Start--Search--type the letters CMD--when the command prompt opens type this exactly with a space between the first word and the forward slash ipconfig /flushdns -- then close command prompt and browser if open and launch your web browser again. What this does is clear the cache on your local router just like clearing your cache on your web browser. I can explain more in depth if needed.
 
Are you using a cable modem of some sort? You might want to power cycle the modem.

I should tell you I'm running Vista.
