    Been having a really hard time getting to the site the past several days. Keep getting error messages saying "that server can't be found" and such. Like the site was offline. First time took almost two days, then again the next morning, been several days of mostly not being able to pull up the site now. Had my son try on his computer too and same deal.

    Good to hear. I just wasn't sure if it was a problem with my confuser, my service, the site or a combination.

    If I try to post something that contains a link to Lowes.com including the "h t t p s : / /" (without the spaces) the post hangs and eventually times out.

    If I do not have spaces in the line below and try to post this message it will hang.
    h t t p s : / /w w w . l o w e s . c o m / Dirty-Hand-Tools-30-Ton-Gas-Log-Splitter/1000246157/

    Most of the time when I try to post the above line the server will cycle for a while then the posting will time out. Sometimes it appears to crash the server (sorry about that, I did not realize my post was crashing the server.)

    If I try to post the line below it works but it does not go to lowes.com to get the page description. It posts the text exactly as seen below as a link. Clicking on that text in the post goes to the correct lowes.com page.
    www.lowes.com/pd/Dirty-Hand-Tools-30-Ton-Gas-Log-Splitter/1000246157/

    If I post a link to another site (with the https) it works correctly and puts the description of the linked page into the post as the clickable link:

    Your posts are not crashing the server. We have this issue with Amazon links too, I have been unable to find a solution.

    Then the timing of two crashes were amazing coincidences...

    Good luck debugging it.

    May I ask which company you host the site on? May I ask the monthly costs?
    I also wonder if the photo uploader optimises photos on upload to help save server space.
