This has been my experience for a long time, and I'm grateful that Chris has never changed the host naming scheme. Sometimes contacting a specific host is the only way I can reach CP at all. Some pages are hard-coded to revert to the www host; it extremely tedious, especially when I'm replying to a post several pages into a forum, but it's not worth the effort of recoding. These outages are usually brief, and with large volumes of ethanol and nicotine I can usually get through them without intense counselling. Today, since 5 AM it's been all but impossible to post, but in the past few minutes the problem has lessened - patience is a virtue, I'm told.:-D Now if I could just get VB.Net to create a web project my patience for the past 6 days will be rewarded...:mad: Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.
