    BlacK.IcE has been having problems getting onto the forum for about 2-3 days now, he said it acts as if the server is down all the time for him.

    He has tried getting on with these browsers:

    Firefox and Safari.

    He wants to know if theres any reason as to why he cant get onto here.

    Thanks kirbir :)

    he said:

    'Shawn says:
    dont belive IE exists on mac, and opera is pay to use after 30 days
    Shawn says:
    I highly doubt its the browers since it's a connnecting issue, not an issue with the site'

    well, maybe he's just getting on at the wrong time? normally later at night it gets really bad, the connections go way up and it's really hard to keep your connection.

    Didn't know his ISP came on the forums :lol:
    Has he tried using a proxy?
    He might have an unstable connection, see if he can ping the Gamerenders server IP address.
    Tell him to open command prompt, then type this:
    ping 208.101.49.184

    Tell him to record how many packets were sent (usually 4), how many were recieved and how many were lost. Usually if some are lost, his connection is faulty.
