About everyother night when I try and log on past 2AM (thats usually when I get home from work), I get the error page. I usually wait a few minutes and try and pull up the page again, but it never comes up. Is this just my computer or has there been matinance going on that I don't know about? Just wondering

The problem happens no matter what time of day it is. I've deleated cookies, no help. The other day I tried for over half an hour and kept getting the DNS error. A lot of times, when I'm already logged in, and I click 'preview post' or click a thread, it gives DNS error. I have resisted complaining about it, but since another thread about this problem has sufaced, I figured I might as well. The worst part is, Nightly is the ONLY site I have trouble with.

What do you mean by error page? Is it a UBB error page or the IE "page cannot be displayed" error?
When we're doing maintenance, the UBB will show a nightly page saying that the board is closed. If you get anything else, then it's something different.
If these problems are DNS-related, they shouldn't be on our end. After going through all that trouble earlier, all our settings are right.

I think its a DNS error, it did it to me again about an hour ago. It said "Page cannot be found".

Funny thing: earlier, 'round 6 p.m. EST, I was using MSN, and Nightly worked for about three minutes...then MSN arbitrarily decided that Nightly didn't exist after all, for the remaining time I spent on it. I've been using AOL all night tonight since 10, and I've had no problems at all. Weird.

Glad to see it's not just me. It just now happened when I clicked on PREVIEW POST. Here's the error page that comes up:
