and with my forum upgrade this weekend I had flush my dns, use bleachbit to empty everything of firefox and plus I got that error with chrome. Soon after a refresh fixed both. So it might be the google DNS.

I find it weird that while loading your site my site's favicon still shows.

I see if my web host can fix the problem.

I keep an eye on things, and see whats up with the problem I'm having.

You can also try OpenDNS.
http://www.opendns.com/ to see if it fixes the problem.

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

It might be your ISP since I remember I used to have an ISP which can't load certain sites like Winamp.com, and I can load them fine on the schools and library computer for some reason.

I wonder if it could be your anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malware, or firewall software which is causing this problem since I read online thar sometimes computer security software make websites load slower, not load at all, or block sites from loading.

none of that stuff has gone under any major update of recent, so I doubt it.

it's a dns glitch anyone can be affected by it. there are methods around

like setting the sites ip in your hosts file though not wise in some cases as if the site ip changes then your will not be able to load that site

though if you enter :- ipconfig /flushdns
into windows run prompt (windows key > search area) and restart your browser should all fix it self

Thanks for the tips, SetoTK.

I wonder if malware, spyware, and viruses also affect sites from loading properly. It might be best to also scan your computer for viruses, malware, and spyware to be on the safeside since I read stories online where people's browsers were not working properly or at all after they were infected by malware.
