Anyone else getting frequent "connection reset" errors?

[+Benchmark Blasterz 65]

I have been getting frequent errors telling me that I cannot connect to Waymarking because my connection has been reset. Is this happening to anyone else today? It started yesterday, but today I have had to stop and wait 4 times before I can reconnect to Waymarking.

 

I am not techy, but I don't *think* this is on my end - no one else's internet site is affected when this happens to Waymarking.

 

FRUSTRATING

In the past few days, this same failure happens to me maybe 20% of the time. It doesn't matter what device or system I use.

Yes. In fact, I was just in the site reviewing waymarks when it seemed to go down entirely. I can't get back in at this time.

I can get in geocaching.com but not Waymarking.com

I now have access.

I now have access.

Ditto. For now.

 

One problem is that the darn browsers sometimes cache things too much! I had IE open for other tabs for my work, but when I'd try to go to Waymarking.com it would immediately say that it wasn't reachable. Hmmm. "You didn't even take enough time to check it out, ya' darn browser!" So I left all of my tabs, restarted IE and cleared the cache, and then it came right up to Waymarking.com. I'm sure from the immediacy of the "can't reach" messages that it was just using cached can't-get-there information, instead of actually trying.

BTW, the site is down now. And I quote:

Thanks for stopping by. Our IT team is currently doing some server maintenance, so the site will be down for a short time. We'll have it back up and running as soon as we can.

 

Thanks for your patience,
