Front page not working?

[Invader3K]

I noticed I couldn't get in with the brewerfan.net url. brewersfandemonium.yuku.com seemed to work, though.

Anyone else have the same issue?

Our webmaster Brian needs to boot the server which hosts the main site in order to resolve this; we'll send him a note, thanks.

We have a main page?

Seems to be happening again this afternoon.

[1992casey]

It's working for me right now. How about you?

[Invader3K]

Yep, seems to be working now. Thanks.

The front page was not working for me just now. I've sent Brian (the Automator, not any of the other zillion Brians around here) a message about it.

[ilovebeer]

It is still not working.

[TooLiveBrew]

It's working just fine for me

TLB, what browser are you using? Not loading at all in Internet Explorer.

 

[TooLiveBrew]

Firefox 3.6.12 on a Mac. Hah, and now the homepage doesn't load for me either. I didn't clear my cache or history between my posts in this thread.

I usually access the message boards through the main page and have had trouble loading it for the last couple of weeks. Given that the main page hasn't been updated in a long time I'm just going to start going directly to Yuku. Are there plans to update the content on outside the message board and the Power 50 or is the site planning on focusing on those features for the time being?

Based on emails I've had with Brian this week, I'd definitely suggest coming straight to the forums for now. The links to the Power 50, Player Index, etc. do seem to be working from the links above the forums. But the home page just isn't accessible consistently at this time.

 

As for the long-term status of the home page, we've pretty much resigned to the fact that there will probably only be as many as five or so new "feature stories" gracing the page each year. Considering that we'll be sure to link to them on the forums once they've posted, you'll be fine coming directly to the forums instead. You won't miss new content.

We still believe that the Link Report, the Draft Forum, and the overall forum atmosphere here provide unique worthwhile opportunities for our visitors.

Certainly there are others out there who do wonderful things as well, and between hat tips and links, we often acknowledge their good work too. Brewer fans are indeed fortunate webwise.

I was just going to post something about how I have not been able to access the home page for the past month, so I'm happy to see this thread and that I'm not the only one. That is also how I normally get to the fan forum (now I just have a link in my favorites that takes me directly there). How can I access the player salary page? That is one of my favorite features on Brewerfan.net. There is no link to it at the top of the forums page and, as stated, I can not get to the home page.

[Mass Haas]

If you click on any of the features above the forum (Power 50, Player Index, etc.) -- you'll then see the left-side sidebar all the team choices and such. Under the "Milwaukee Brewers" section, you'll find the Salaries page, the 40-man roster page (which includes option info), and more.

 

Please keep in mind that the salaries page is meant to represent those who have made big league appearances thus far. So you won't see Amaury Rivas, Dan Merklinger, and others yet. It's very unscientific. There are some arby year decisions based on possible Super 2 status that could change things. The minimum salary amounts might vary by a tiny margin.

 

In other words, it's a general snapshot, but represents a decent guage of future commitments on the larger numbers. If there's an egregious error, please bring it to our attention here, thanks.

You'll also find the sidebar items in the Fan Sites / Resources topic that's placed near the top of most forum pages in the same group of links as Fan Forum Etiquette. They're in the last category in the Resource List in the first reply.

Front page just loaded for me fine; using Firefox 3.6.12 on a Mac once again

 

Not sure if reporting when it loads correctly is helpful or not.

[1992casey]

Reporting is helpful. We can get in touch with Brian so something can be done if it doesn't self-correct.

[ilovebeer]

Still had trouble sign on.

[1992casey]

I'm not getting in either. The site is hanging. That happened for me the a few days ago, but it self-corrected before I got a chance to e-mail Brian to take a look.

 

I'll e-mail Brian right now.

[1992casey]

I'm not getting to the main page right now. Has anyone been able to access it since I last posted?

[ilovebeer]

It's still not working for me.

[Ando Calrissian]

I've been having the main page problem for at least a month.

[crewcrazy]

Something I thought was weird: I can't access the home page directly or by going in through Google, but if I Google the Power 50 and click on the link, I can get to that page without a problem.
