Here is a different "page not found" (different than
Pascal and I see sometimes after posting):

I was reading the thread hedir-reviewcenter, the third page.
There where pointers to the start and the previous page,
pointing to
http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/hedir-reviewcenter-1.html
which gives a 404 page not found.

From the forum the URL is
http://www.hedir.com/hedir-reviewcenter.html
http://www.hedir.com/hedir-reviewcenter-1.html
http://www.hedir.com/hedir-reviewcenter-2.html

I'll try to find out how I came there...

This isn't a problem with link itself.

Cannot Find Server or DNS Error is related to your connection to the host. Somewhere between you and the host, something lost its connectivity. This is usually the fault of the host, but sometimes can be related to other things (gateway timing out, etc.)

In this case though, it's probably one of two possibilities:

1) A problem with the host itself, in which case a new host is in order. The reviews I'm reading on A Small Orange aren't really conclusive one way or the other. They're about 50/50 good vs. bad.

2) A problem with the coding on the site (no offense, Josh, since I don't know PHP nor do I know your coding abilities.) If the site is coded inefficiently or creates enough errors, it will put a strain on the server which can knock it out.

I know I've been guilty of this once (an ad script that calculated a value based on a complex formula to the 15th decimal place approx. 200 times), so I wouldn't knock anyone else that is. But it's a possibility.

Basically, I can't speculate either way.

The only thing I could suggest is to put HEDir on a new host that is known for stability and reliability and see how it handles.

hedir.com/groupthink/hedir-reviewcenter-1.html should be

hedir.com/hedir-reviewcenter-1.html

I dunno where you got the first url. Normally, it should not be available.

I get the URL from the mail.
Just now I'm reading the thread with this URL
http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/viewtopic.php?p=26574#26574
This is the URL sent in the "Topic Reply Notification" and normally this answer will post correctly.
We'll see...

Indeedily:
Now I came in through
http://www.hedir.com/
clicked on "Forum" button, before "Submit"
selected the forum and the message had the URL
http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/about12690.html

The forum "Announcements and Feedbacks" has this URL
http://www.hedir.com/cafe/index.html
and this thread has this URL
http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/about12690.html

The "Search topics since your last visit"
http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/search.php?search_id=newposts
gives this URL:
http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/viewtopic.php?t=12690

The "Latest Discussions" in the right column has also groupthink in it:
http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/about12690.html
Most on the links have

Whereas the link to
"» Just Released - HEDIR REVIEW CENTER(beta) ! "
(still under "Latest Discussions" in the right column) is this:
http://www.hedir.com/hedir-reviewcenter.html
a few other threads too.

So I guess
- the notification mail sends me sometimes on the "Wrong Track",
the URL with groupthink in it, while correct without it;
- once I'm on that track the groupthink thingy propagates
- some later URL somewhere (I think) makes really real
problems and downs, maybe the whole server

- when does the URL change ?
when is there groupthink in it, and when not ?

I can't see when:
Most of the threads started by "lakhya", but not all, have some
name as filename and NO groupthink, instead of about{###}.

Hi nlgw,

We are using descriptive urls for most part of the forum. But there are some areas where the module to convert dynamic to static urls is not applied yet. So you get these urls like http://www.hedir.com/groupthink/viewtopic.php?p=26336#26336 .

Thanks for pointing it out. We will solve this problem soon.

Thank you anthony.

Probably meanwhile it's better to go via the forum display for posting a reply (instead of using the email link with viewtopic.php)
