They need to contact their internet provider. I bet they are Century Link. For some reason they are having an issue with their customers accessing the site.

The site was not down. You can look at the post history and see users online all day over the past couple of days. You can always check any website with a tool such as this:

Down For Everyone Or Just Me -> Check if your website is down or up?

That will tell you if the issue is with the site or on your end.

The site was not down. I've been posting all day today and yesterday, and wondering where in the world is Gracie? I was about to call 911.

Can you explain what "OUR"problem was?
Thanks.

We were down all yesterday and today. Contacted the admin who said it wasn't "down". We are on CenturyLink so ???? Glad things have been resolved. Though a week or so ago, this had happened as well.

DNS issue or router down at IP address 66.228.118.214. This is where things timed out and your connection process stopped. DNS was not resolving the domain name to the IP address of TOTV either.

Using Xfinity / Comcast here and I had been down for 2 days. I also tried the Lake Miona Rec Center. There I was able to connect there yesterday at about 3:00 using Windows 7 but not Windows 8. Now that is really odd. All other web sites worked properly using either 7 or 8 and yes I rebooted several times. Same lap top set up for dual boot.

Smart phone using Tap-A-Talk was also down today and it uses the Sprint network.

Missed you. I haven't been able to access TOTV for days either. Google kept putting up the "site not found" slate.

I'm on Century Link and have not had any issues, other than the occasional 2 or 3 second slowdown, over the last several days.

However, I use Google DNS Servers on my iPad.

Perhaps your DNS settings on your Windows 7 is different from Windows 8 hence the issue between the two.

Perhaps try either Google or Open DNS settings.

Just FYI: Was unable to get on most of today. I use AT&T DSL (Windows 7). Tried my Verizon mobile and that wouldn't bring up TOTV either. Has been happening off and on for several days now with TOTV. No problems connecting to any other site for me.
