Andrews website

[raymo]

Andrews' website seems to have been down for at least a week, does
anyone know anything about this?

Hi Raymo,

Just tried it and it works OK for me. This is the link I used

http://www.andrewscom.com.au/site-section-10.htm

Cheers

I was trying to go in using Goole or Yahoo, and just said that this page can't be displayed.?????? Thanks.

P.S. How weird, neither of the links you fellas provided work for me. Must be something in the settings in my comp, but never had a problem getting on before.

[iborg (Philip)]

This doesn't exactly help, but, both links just worked for me!

Raymo, clear your browser's cache.

when I go into troubleshooting my comp tells me that my modem is having problems, and to reboot it. Did that, no change. How can the
problem be in my comp when it accesses all other websites o.k?

How on earth do I do that Humayun?
raymo

[Octane (Humayun)]

It's probably just a stale cache.

Try clearing it and try again.

What browser?

H

[raymo]

I use Internet Explorer.

[Octane (Humayun)]

Internet Explorer. The world's number 1 browser to download another browser!

IE 8:

Tools > Internet Options > General > Browsing History > Delete
Un-check Preserve Favorites website data
Check Temporary Internet files, Cookies and History boxes
Click Delete
Click OK.

Should be fine now.

Thank you very much, this is a first time problem for me, is it
relatively common?

[Nikolas (Nik)]

use google chrome and ditch internet explorer, seriously.

[raymo]

I've been led to believe that that is a good idea; I will do that.

It happens every now and then. Gremlins.

Yep, use Chrome or Firefox. I prefer Firefox as it is what I was using before Chrome came on the scene. Old habits.

[janoskiss (Steve H)]

Yep, Firefox and Chrome (or Chromium) cover all bases. Leave the dark(est) side.

[Atmos (Colin)]

It is a pretty common issue. It does not just stop some webpages from loading but sometimes it can forward you onto somewhere else if it has a glitch (this doesn't happen often).

If you had a temporary failure at loading the Andrews page once, it logs that away and then remembers THAT for every subsequent visit. The thinking is that while a page is cached it does not have to fully reload it every time.

[raymo]

Thanks H, Steve, and Colin.

All praise to Google Chrome; I can now scroll up and down on the nine
news page. Thanks guys [as the youngsters would say].
