I conducted a search of some few words [ at gmat problem solving forum]. The result: "sorry - no matches..."

However, on a 2nd trial of some few words ( i had earier confirmed the existence of such word) the message i got was: "The page cannot be displayed". Subsequent trials failed. Internet connectivity was on.

Pls advise if am doing something wrong or is this a problem from the site?

Yes, recently, many of us, got, "the page cannot be displayed." I really think that it is the server problem. The server may be really busy.

The same thing happens to ETS web site. My friend cannot register for her test no matter how many times she tries. Finally, she has to send a letter to register.

Many members send me email and private messages complaining about the same problem.

I'm sorry, folks. I was hoping to work on this last week, but I came down with the flu for a few days and couldn't. Please bear with me while I try to get it sorted out.

Thanks and sorry.

I hope that you feel better soon.

Since you have added new advertising with a lot of large pictures and animation, it takes a lot of time to load all the pictures and open the web site and get into the forums.

I guess that those who have a dial-up connection or an old version of processor or slow processor, I do not know how to explain in English, it will take a lot of time to load the forums with lots of pictures of ad.

It is just my speculation that hardware capacity and server capacity are the result of slow loading of the forum or never get into the forum at all. I am sorry that I have trouble explaining in English. You may not have anything to do with the server problem because it is going to be busy anyway. The only way to improve it maybe, just change to another server.

I am sorry if I say something wrong or appropriate. I do not mean to offend anyone but I feel impatient when trying to check the forum or post in the forum and I keep getting, "The page cannot be displayed." Many friends keep calling me and sending email to me, "Knok, what is going on with the forum? Do you talk to Erin lately? “Some of them are software engineer, others are working for networking."

I know that the forum survives with sponsors.

Good luck and thank you for all your help.

Hi Erin,

PS. I clicked 5 times, it didn't go anywhere. I got a duplicated post.

Good luck and thank you for all your help.
