Has anybody else been getting sporadic DNS issues when accessing DHW forums? Usually if I wait a few minutes it resolves itself, but I have been getting the below message more and more on this site.
Unknown Host
Description: Unable to locate the server requested --- the server does not have a DNS entry. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again. |

The error message seems to be browser-specific. I'm getting an error related to a reset connection.
Anyway, what's going on is related to the "Yahoo!" server, which hosts this message board. One of the service representatives has stuck some code in the message board program (without our permission, mind you), and it accesses a website with the address "np.lexity.com". It's not the first time "Yahoo!" has gone and done this to DHWs; we've had that same exact problem in the past.
Yes, I'm angry about it. In fact, I'm furious. The message board just won't work right until the Lexity code is removed again. |
