Default VAF Fix

http://www.vansairforce.com was not available today in Germany. I missed my usual fix of RV related stories and posts. I will have to find a way to send Doug a donation that is not going to cost me an arm or a leg in bank transfer charges.

Default Intermittent in Holland

I had the same issue in Holland last week while on a layover. It would not load the home page when the address was typed in. I did find that if I clicked on a hot link from one of my email updates from VAF it would go to the message thread OK. The problem just seemed to be getting to the home page. Sometime it worked then 10 minutes later it would not.

Cheers

VAF.net hasn't worked for me since late last night. I think it's a terrorist plot to disrupt the world balance.

Same here, the site was down last night starting from about 10pm Pacific Time. Worked this morning, thanksfully. I lost sleep over it.

I have been having the same problem intermittently over the last 2 weeks.

About 15% of the time I get a "this link appears to be broken" message.

I go to a googled cached page and from there I can navigate to the forums???????????????????????

Thanks for the suggestion Dave, however, I am one of those old fashioned guys who don't believe in credit cards. Never had one, never want one. They are the devil's invention.

The site was totally unavailable this morning. I tried pinging the site but got no connectivity. The site pings okay now:

tony@tony-laptop:~$ ping www.vansairforce.com
PING www.vansairforce.com (65.174.201.195) 56(84) bytes of data.
