Few times in the past few hour when I have tried viewing mumsnet a message has come up saying Cannot load page. Technical difficulties and something about a server and DNS.

I copied what it said but it wont allow me to paste it

We can't display this page at the moment.

The website you're trying to reach may be experiencing technical difficulties. Try again later.

Error: Cannot find server or DNS error

Got it. That's what it saying ^^

That's most likely a connection problem between you and ISP, or possibly DNS systems at your ISP, unles MNHQ can confirm some server problems...

If you are using a laptop or desktop there may be a way around it (but means messing with network settings on system, so that instead of using your home router, or ISP network servers {which are most commonly used}, you can use other DNS machines on the internet, eg 8.8.8.8 from Google, or 208.67.222.222, or 208.67.220.220 - these last two belong to OpenDNS, which has the added benefit of blocking many porn sites, so can help limit accidental access by a child).

If you are not using a laptop or desktop, but a mobile phone or a tablet, it may still be possible, by modifying settings in your router, but probably not for the feint hearted!

AH, well that's a start. If the problem has gone away, best not dabble !

As you are posting, I really think the problem has gone away :)

Happy New Year
