I received a note from Patsy Michaud last night. Saying that she hasn't been able to get on DPC for about 2 weeks now.

She is getting a message saying the server at DPChallenge is taking too long to respond...and it won't connect. She has tried both Laptop and Desktop with Firefox and Chrome. She can access everything else but that one site. She is requesting help/suggestions.

This happened to me a couple years ago and Cory helped me figure it out. It was a problem on DPC's end.

I did contact Robert and Paul (GeneralE) Robert responded that she should clear all her chache's...anyone have more info? Also Robert has forwarded my email to Langdon

Patsy has contacted me also, recently knowing I was having problems getting onto the website. She wondered if the site had closed down. It also happened to me a couple of years ago, quite a few of us were having problems getting to the website. It was indeed a technical problem on DPC's end.

I've been having weird technical problems of and on for a while now, across various devices and platforms. Could this be why there has been less activity...people can't actually access the website?

in her case it is not responding at all or comes blank. I had an issue a few weeks back but that was because of blocked IP address and I was not sure the reason. I did respond to her that her concern is posted here in DPC forum. Let's see if admin sees this and suggest on what could be wrong.

As with most things internet, I would suggest purging any cache.

Also, have her go to the CMD prompt and type the following - ping www.dpchallenge.com. If she gets a response then she reach the site just fine, so that at least tells her it's a browser issue.
