    Ever tried to visit a website, and it didnt load? You were stuck with the thought if the problem was just from your side, or if it wasnt working for anyone?

    I would like to share a handy online tool that lets you know just that if its your problem, or the site's problem.

    I've used that site in the past and I've found it very useful. I've especially used this for active, large forums during server lags and crap like that, and that site told me whether FP was down or if it was just on my end. I almost want to make a thread about this in the announcement section on Chatting Time, to avoid future feedback complaints and things like that.

    Used the site plenty of times, it's a great tool especially when I annoyed one of my old providers with it, lol

    they kept telling me that their server was fine, yet I and other's constantly had problems and the tool would constantly tell us that the server was down and that it was not our connection.

    So basically lying to you guys even though you had proof otherwise. That makes sense and that was definetly rude.

    You can use it to see if AdminBB is up or down or if it's just you, so someone might use it to check to see if AdminBB is up & working or not.

    It is definitely safe and very helpful. Plus if you own a forum, it can cut down on feedback complaints as well should you guys experience expected or unexpected downtime.

    I've used this site in the past and found it to be very useful, since this is more efficient than reloading the page every five seconds. ;)
