[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2269450, member: 56859"]It's not down. I used to have that problem frequently but it was fixed by changing the DNS settings on my computer. At first I wasn't happy about having to change something on my computer to fix an access problem with just one website... but I visit Wildwinds frequently and in the end it wasn't much of a hassle. Here's the fix (Mac, but I'm sure you can find the appropriate location on a PC): Network > Advanced > DNS Click "+" to add IPv4 or IPv6 addresses Type 8.8.8.8 Click the "+" again Type 8.8.4.4 Click apply or OK or whatever to make the changes stick ... More details about the issue and its solution can be found in [URL='http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=101260.0']this Forvm thread[/URL]. Most websites load faster for me now and I have no Wildwinds access problems, so I'm glad I made the change.[/QUOTE]
