Speaking just for myself, the problem has gotten much better.  I haven't had it go "missing" on me once today.

Very interesting. Thanks for the datapoint. :)

Had two memory errors yesterday, and one zzzzt-out whilst posting today, seems stable now.

I haven't noticed any problems today either.

Yesterday had a memory error and an "internet explorer cannot open this page" at work(IE8), and last night Safari had trouble, said it couldn't find the server.  Haven't noticed anything today on either computer.

Problems loading in around 7 am Mountain time this morning, but humming like a bird for the rest of the day.

in the last half of hour had a bit of the problem of the sort "Internet explorer can't find the server"

FYI - Every night about 11 EST, the site does fritz because the server is doing its daily back up. Usually lasts about 10-20 minutes. That one's normal and you should expect it to happen.

Well, I've identified (sort of) at least some of my problems.  DNS IP propagation.  Every now and then when I can't get to the site, I find I also can't ping jimbutcheronline.com, though I *can* ping the IP addy.

Except from my local Starbucks, where I can never get jimbutcheronline.com to resolve, though the IP address does. That was an amusing conversation with the barristas. 

"You guys need to flush your DNS cache."
"Huh?"
"The server is hanging on to an old IP address, you need to repop it."
"Our what?"
"...  Let me have an iced venti two Sweet-n-Low green tea."
"Coming right up."

I have seen an apparent reduction in the number of "Cannot find this page" errors that I get.  It's not gone entirely, but it does seem to be less than the last few weeks.

Happened three times between 11:00 and 2:00 CST today.

I'm getting some memory errors again, but they clear up quickly now.  If it helps here was the board load when it happened.

I'm going to guess you know already, but big problems again today.  I've had problems with the themes loading, memory errors, can't connect to server, and can't find server.  Just thought I'd let you know the kinds of fits it's throwing today ;)
