My site loads fine - except on MY computer!

[Lau]

I just uploaded a new website - http://www.forkzine.co.uk - and I get a "Page Not Found" when I click on it, and I've tried loading it on my Mac and my boyfriend's PC. Same problem.

However, my friend and my dad (on a Mac and a PC respectively) can load it fine. It's as if my home connection is blocking it, as everyone else seems to be able to see it.

Has anyone esle had this problem? And how on earth do I solve it?! Thanks for your help, everyone.

I can see it. And very nice it is too.

Sorry if that's no help, but I just wanted to tell you I like it.

 

[Lau]

Awww. Thank you It's no help at all, but I really appreciate it.

No problems here. Try emptying your cache.
Safari > Empty cache

Reminds me so much of your portfolio site. I <3 it. I love the simplicity of it... and the Playmobil figurines.

Sorry, I should have mentioned (head's in a big ol' frustrated spin here ) that I've emptied my cache, tried it in Camino, Safari and Firefox, after having emptied the caches in 'em, and tried restarting the programs and my Mac. And even if it was my computer, surely it should work on my boyfriend's. It's as if it's our internet connection.

Edit: Thanks devilot I just wish I could see it....

Maybe it is?! I don't know anything about these things-- something about your internet provider thinking it's a spam site or somethiing? :shrug:

It may be a DNS issue. Try putting 69.56.131.114 and/or 67.19.36.196 into Network preferences -> TCP/IP -> DNS servers. (Just temporarily until your own DNS server is updated - can take up to 24 hrs for new sites ).

I like the look of your '10 Things' book. Any chance of a copy?
Oh, and a high resolution PDF portfolio by email - if that's ok?

I'm interested to see what you can do!

Ooh! It worked. Thank you so much, Mitthrawnuruodo.

Now back to sorting out all the irritating wonkiness on my site now I see it uploaded....

Welcome to fork, the magazine for gardeners with balls...

Oh gosh, that made me LOL!!

Sorry I can't help you, but it is a nice site.

Blimey, ok, will do. A girl posts a problem and gets a load of compliments.... I could learn to live with that.

I once read a news story about an ISP that had one of it's main "connections" (not sure what they're called) crash and it's users where cut off from half of the internet. I also think it was the half where Google is, so that must've been really painful. But now that I think of it, it could've been one of those weird dreams I get every now and then, because now it seems very unlikely I think Mitthrawnuruodo's theory is much more sound.

edit: oops I need to refresh more often. So I guess I did dream that.

Oooooooh what a lovely site!

And there's even a recipe for butternut squash curry. Yum

You're welcome... always nice to be useful...

BTW, very nice site... love the design.

Not wanting to blow one's own trumpet, but that curry is rather fabulous.


Thanks everyone, for the help and all the encouraging comments. I was planning to announce the new site when it was all finished, possibly as a resurrection of this thread, but I guess it came out a bit early.

I'll post when it's all done....

 

[Will Cheyney]

Thanks for your email, Laura
I'm gonna have to make that curry - I love squashes!

 

[bobber205]

I do have to say, it looks REALLY nice.

Wow.

 

[Mike Teezie]

Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of praise....

I love the look Lau.

 

[Lau]

Thanks guys.

I might get round to finishing it tonight, but then you all have to visit it frequently or my dissertation's all wrong and I'll have to rewrite it. It's about how zines are more accessible online, etc.

And boy, oh boy, am I sick of writing it.
