I can't seem to log on either.

Whatever will I do? I live on this site. It may very well be a form of life support to me.

[shuttlebuggy]

They have their webpage down now and then for site maintenence, not to worry - they'll get it up and runnin' soon for all us regulars there!

[crochetqueen]

I just found out that they now have http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crochetpartners/ and it seems that all the info is on there. I have no idea if they are closing the site or anything alls I know is that I saw if you want anything Crochet Partners related you have to join the Yahoo group now.

I was there this morning...no problems.

Which site are we talking about - Crochet Pattern Central (mine) or Crochet Partners (I'm not affiliated)?

 

CPC wasn't/isn't down (that I know of) and most maintenance takes place while the site is still running. (If it is down temporarily, it is an unfortunate hosting issue.)

 

Hope this helps...

I was referring to Crochet Pattern Central, I was able to get on this morning...WHEW! I panic when that site goes down!!!!

[yarnwoman2004]

Please do not panic...when you can't access the Crochet Pattern Central Website, merely type in this address:

http--200.62.22.148-

and it will direct you to their site every time, even when you think the site is "down."

I have NO clue as to why this address works, but the address was given to me by another crocheter.

Have a GREAT THURSDAY, my fellow crafters.

I am sorry, but I am sitting here cracking up. I have never seen this group panic:yell so much when a site is down, except for C'Vill.

Rachel your site is addictive, like chocolate or coffee.

Glad it is working, I know I use it quite a bit myself.

[RachelG]

I think it's pretty funny, too. Whenever it goes down I check here and the Knitting Help forum for the "panic threads"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I wasn't aware of a "downage" last night and am glad it came back up by itself.

Sometimes, when the site is down...and I do mean down...even its IP (the number link you gave above)...will not work.

 

However, when we were experiencing DNS issues (where a random 50% of us could get to CPC and another random 50% couldn't) the IP address will work for anyone. Thankfully, I was able to change web domain providers (or whatever it's called...not be confused with my ISP/hosting) and we no longer have that problem.

[Mermaiden]

Yeah, it was pretty quick - they were probably just rebooting a server somewhere or something
