Server issues this weekend.

This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Announcements group).

One of our servers is having issues this weekend and it will disrupt image serving as well as connect ability for a portion of users.

We are trying to get ahold of our isp to get the server fixed, but in the meantime anyone experiencing issues reaching the site can use the address sync.democraticunderground.com instead of www.

Thanks for your patience.

That's why only a portion of users would be unable to reach the site and can get around it by using a direct address to a specific server. Images are all served from one server (the affected one) though.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
