Can't view website?

                     My computer found some update for windows, so while it downloaded I was reading the boards here, but at some point when I clicked a link, Firefox asked if I wanted to download it or open it, and what to open it with. "Quit toying with me, foxy..." I said. It kept doing it to any php file from the port here, so I tried Explorer, and it did the same thing. I only got here through clicking a link in my email for a new PM. Is it because of the new update? Anyone else have this trouble before?

:smashcomp:

Re: Can't view website?

                     I'm having the same trouble!  I try to pull up the cafe or the Port Halcyon home page, and I get this darn box that asks me if I want to download the file.  Doesn't do this for any other website.  To get here now, I went into my history and clicked the link for my pm inbox. 
I'm with you on the :smashcomp: ! :evil:

                     Oh, there, it's working for me now. Must have been a server thing.

Whew. Shows you how much you love this community when you can't get to it and have a fit.  :flirt:

By the time I heard about this, it went away, but we'll keep a keen watch.

                     Oh, ssssoooo good to hear that I wasn't the only one with this problem!! I'm "here" so much during my work day (and still miraculously get work done, too) that I almost convinced myself that someone here at work blocked me from getting onto PH! :roll:

Re: Can't view website?

                     It's still happening happening on some links.

For example, if I am reading a post and I click on link to The Market, I get the error.  I found a work around by going to the main page and clicking on The Market there.

In both IE and Firefox I get the same prompt asking what app I would like to use to open the php file.

Today is better than yesterday.  About 4pm Central I stopped being able to even get to the main PH.com address

Hope that helps the troubleshooting.

                     Yes, Nyssa, that does help.  I'll have to make sure our server knows what to do with all .php files; sometimes they tinker with settings and don't tell us.

Don't worry, folks...our bills are paid, and we will always be here for you!

                     Feel free to blame it on me.  See, I come back and the server balks. Poor thing is afraid that in no time I'll be postin' pictures of turkeys dressed up like Elvis.  (Woah...no one will even know that ol' reference.)

TMBC, I am sure pixie dust will solve the gliches.  That's what I use.

Re: Can't view website?

                     Yes, those urls work.  And, it's 99.9% better than the other day.
The only thing now find is that the "Retro Shopping, The Market" link above give me the following error.

No matter.
I can get to the Market from PH home page.
I am just providing the info for troubleshooting, but no bother.
Maybe it's just my system, but it does occur in both Firefox and IE.
(From the sound of the earlier messages, it's the same issue.)
The error, well, (prompt is more correct), should be available here.
