No matter where I go, it doesn't matter what speed connection I use (56K to ISDN), I still get those kind of message.

Personally I expect a better service from a site that provides hundreds of free sources files, tutorials expert help and royalty free sound loops.

I refresh cl in every 5-15min sometimes every 1min, and there is always a 25% chance that I get "The page cannot be displayed" error page.

I agree swampy,

we get a few thousand flash open source movies, countless free loops, a text effect generating utility and access to some serious flash help volunteers yet we're expected to put up with the occasional 404 for it.

its not good enough and I'm taking my business elsewhere.

yes siree

I get errors similar to that from time to time and also that Cannot find server one & with other sites as well. :mad:
The problem on my machine is with Sygate Personal Firewall. :mad: Sometimes I can view this site and sometimes I can't.
I also hate when I reply to a thread, an IE error page comes up and then I have to go back to that thread and repost my reply again. :mad:

Please don't reply and say use another firewall, this has happened previously with ZA and I'm also testing Sygate out as well.

I have never had a problem with 99 percent of what flashkit is. the boards on occasion get picky, but how much of flashkit is that?

Just before the holiday, the techs upgraded the DB server. Over the holiday that error popped up and instead of bothering them I added a script on the DB server to reset it every 10 minutes.

They're back now, and the traffic is back, so I'm going to send them an email. It should be resolved soon.

Agreed those can be annoying.

However take a look around the rest of internet.com's Boards and you'll be happy to be back here.

Frets, Rich Hein has taken over the internet.com forums. They're putting a lot of time into converting them to vB and improving where needed. I've talked to Rich several times and I'm pretty impressed with his plans.

i am creating an agent in flash that will read fk url's in a separate, clean textfield. DIE, ORANGE!

i seriously hate the color, it's obnoxious.

does this mean an upgrade to vB is on the cards?

I can see it.
I haven't encountered any errors for the past 30 minutes. I think your remedy really fixed it. Thanks for your endless effort, John. I hope it will last longer.

Thanks Damaso, the techs fixed it though. My fix only checked for the issue every 10 minutes, which is why you saw it occasionally. They went back to the previous version of MySQL.

btw john, you got my email I've just sent?

You think this orange color is bad??
I used to work for an on-line auto journal, which had Lotus Notes-based editing interface with a luminous yellow bg.

Can you say 'burnt retinas'?

I like Flashkit a lot - except when you misspell your user name/password in a post and to go back you lose all your stuff.
Always, always control-C your post before you send.;)

The most annoying things on FK (other than me)

Good point!
Newbies, remember please - being new to Flash does not mean that you are allowed to forget how a site search works.

just point them politely to the newbies forum where there are no stupid questions

We're converting all of the site to PHP to cut down on the load, allow for better updating of the content and get positioned for a balanced model. Approx, of course.

The most annoying this is either;
That when you type in [*small]:)[*/small] 9without the *'s) The smily doesn't shrink.
Or
Flash footers are no longer allowed, but I guess the reason behing it is good...so the non-shrinking smily is annoying! Look, it leaves a big gap between the lines:
