Can't Find my Sites!
Jan 7 2012, 4:15 PM EST | Post edited: Jan 7 2012, 4:16 PM EST
Whenever I try and access my website and the ones I'm registered to it gives me an error that Google Chrome can't find my sites! what does this mean? Does this mean ALL the sites are gone or is it just the browser? I also tried Internet Explorer with the same result. Do you find this valuable?

Firefox wouldn't do it either, Wetpaint Central seems to be the only wiki working. Do you find this valuable?

My sites are down, too. I get the message: "Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at www.(url).com."

I hope this gets fixed in before too long.

Seems like a server issue. Would make sense, especially if WC is run off a separate server, which would keep it up in such a situation. Do you find this valuable?

It appears that Wetpaint wikis are down. I am trying to contact Jeremy at Wetpaint to alert him of the situation. We will keep you abreast of the situation.

Weirdly enough, I can still access a couple of my wikis, but others I can't... And we're still here (on WPC), right? I can't really see a pattern...


... And I've just entered all of my sites just now. Seems to have been a quickly resolved problem...

"But...my sites aren't wikis...."
Wetpaint is a wiki farm. All sites are referenced as wikis. You may not take advantage of the collaborative features of Wetpaint wikis, but nonetheless it is still a wiki.

Wiki is just a genreal term for all the sites on the Wetpaint network because originally Wetapint was a wiki farm (albeit an interestingly formatted one) before it became a retarded Gossip Girl thingummybob.

Just a side note. Google Chrome is not a supported browser. Firefox and Internet Explorer are the only two browsers that will work fully with Wetpaint.

There are millions of wikis on the servers, and more than one server. You need to refresh until you get on a synched server. Once you get on one, you will be able to access any wiki. Hopefully, all the servers will be in sync by tomorrow.

The sites I use won't work either. They haven't since earlier today/yesterday. I hope the servers get fixed soon. :/ Do you find this valuable?

The servers need time to sync with each other. As stated, Wetpaint sent out the release, there is just a gap between each server's sync. If you are getting a Problem Loading Page or a similar error, try refreshing at least 3 times. Eventually, you'll get to your destination. It just depends on the server you are on. I haven't had any issues with the servers after I posted my first reply @ 8:11 PM; 5 hours ago, I can access all wikis i'm on just fine.
You could also try going to your site, and if you get the error message, wait a couple of minutes, then try accessing it again.
