WHAT? MY computer AGAIN? This is getting too weird. There must be something I can do to help fix it from my end. Any ideas, UT? The message I'm getting when I try to log into the cellar is "Website unavailable. Try again later." I see no evidence of my computer repeatedly trying to log in here. And most of the time I can log onto the Cellar, no problem. Also, I belong to all sorts of message boards and all sorts of sites, and not a one of them gives me trouble. I don't understand. PS What if I switched to Mozilla Firefox? Would that help? Last edited by SamIam; 05-07-2011 at 08:28 PM. |

Here's what I know. At 3:17 pm Eastern, you visited the thread Birthday Announcement and posted post #13 there.
Exactly one hour later, your browser made a call to the server, possibly requesting the thread be redisplayed. Exactly one hour later, it tried again. Exactly one hour later, your browser started making about ten requests a second to redisplay the thread. It's worth trying Firefox but I don't know why this would happen in the first place... |

I am quite literally blind to time. It would be quite the feat for me to do ANYTHING repeatedly exactly on the hour. I would suspect malware, too; but the other forums I visit have had no problems. They are very large forums, however - far bigger than the Cellar. I still don't get how a $300 E-Machine from Walmart can wreck so much havoc. When I get home tonight, I will run a malware and anti-virus program. I will also switch my browser to Firefox. Hope that helps. |

Do you have dial up?
Is your browser set to open the last page visited? Can you contact your isp provider? |

Well the E-machine only has to make the request for the page; the server has to make many database connections in order to build that page, so in short order the whole thing is swamped.
The Cellar server is getting old too, and takes less to get swamped, which is why I really had hoped to get that other server operational (I'm still working on that). |

Anyhow, after I got home from the motel, I downloaded the free version of malbytes and ran it on my computer. There were ten malware programs and malbytes claimed to have taken care of them all. In addition, AVG is running a deep scan while I'm at work this morning (Is it OK to have both malbytes and AVG at the same time?  )Is there any way I can tell my computer to stop attempting to get on a site after 3 tries or so? I'm really upset by this. If there is no solution, I'll have to ban myself from the Cellar until I can get a new computer, and THAT is on the very distant horizon. The thought of no more Cellar makes me very sad.

Your ISP will look at you funny for free. That level of support is included with your contract.
Anyway, yeah, this is such a weird thing that I'd wager the malware check will take care of it, or browsing Cellar with Firefox only. |

I mean all browsers can be hijacked. If that's what the problem is? |
