jryden: I did see your prior post and did follow your suggestions:
1) I could not get in through brainking.com
2) I could not get in through the brainking.x,y or z sites
3) I could not get into brainking.info at all
4) I could only get in through the ip address 89.187.130.22 and only able to see the postings and none of the images (as explained in my prior post)
My post was more of an informational post in response to a recent post stating that everything was running just fine.
I am accessing the site today for the first time in 2 weeks through brainking.com and all appears to be working ok. (finally!)

nodnarbo: I was only able to access the site a couple of times in the past week and none the week before. And access was only by entering the ip address. I wonder if internet access speed factors in or if it is something else. I'm on dialup. How about you? btw... your sign might be #1 for you but that position (as it relates to me) is just about how many times I was able to get on and play here in the last 2 weeks. Not good. :>(

Again, I can not get into "brainking.com."
I can get to this board via http://89.187.130.22/

I have not been able to get to "brainking.info" at all since almost 2 weeks ago.
Game boards and images are also not showing up so I can not see any games and therefore am not able to make moves.
I am using up vacation days as I type. :>(
A few posts ago I saw that the site is supposedly up and running and is fast!
Well, not for me.
So, any information (and help) about what the heck is going on would be appreciated.
Thanks.

jryden: ? the ip address I got for the img.brainking.com was 89.187.130.22 not .20
Could this be the problem? (One of them anyway)

coan.net: I have figured something out!
It is definately a site problem in that certain items display and others do not. (for me) And only by entering through the ip address and not the domain name. (rem I can't get on through the domain name)Yes it may be related to the pointers and if so the question is... Who is in charge of making sure that the pointers are updated? Not me.
The ip address is the same for http://brainking.com and http://www.brainking.com as it is for http://img.brainking.com which is: 89.187.130.22 as you supplied to me. (I verified all of these at whatismyipaddress.com)
Yet the image of a smiley: smiley #1 for example...

http://89.187.130.22/images/smileys/1.gif will display for me and...
http://brainking.com/images/smileys/1.gif will NOT display for me and...
http://img.brainking.com/smileys/1.gif will NOT display for me.
The information is not being sent to me from BK to be displayed and eventually times out on my end.
These images are stored at BK and either the servers are not working right or the html code is not pointing correctly. Being that some people are able to see all of the images and some are not leads me to think that it is possibly a communication/time out issue at BK. I am using dialup through the att.net network and someone else might be using a faster network like dsl or cable (they may be on a faster network even if they are on dialup). It would be interesting to know who is getting on and what they are using and who is not and what they are using.
I hope that Fencer is working on this (I am making the assumption that he is and it is a difficult fix for him) and that he gives us and update asap.
btw... the ip address for brainking.info is 89.487.130.20 and I can NOT access that area at all.

coan.net: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
It has been over a week since I started having problems. Like FStop said, I've tried countless times getting to... http://www.brainking.com and http://brainking.com to no avail. Although one night, (after the bk server switch over) I got in only after linking to a non english bk site from google... linking to another non english bk site from that site and then linking from there to the brainking.com site. It only lasted for an hour and that way and it never worked again. I tried clearing cookies and temp files on 3 different computers with no luck. And then finally calling att.net (my provider) and after 24 minutes with them they informed me it was a problem with the web site and not their system. They said it is a web site problem with the route that the information takes to get to my ip address and the web site not communicating properly. Anyway, I'm happy to be able to catch up on the games and that I had vacation days. So, what if I didn't have any days available and I timed out. Wouldn't it be easier to have suspended all timing on all games until this issue(s) gets resolved?
Anyway... thanks for your help! Very much appreciated!
