Discussion: EMPO website

I don't know if it's just my computer, or if it's the website itself, but is anybody else having trouble getting into the EMPO website??? Both my dad and I have tried, and all it comes up with is: "This page cannot be displayed..." Hmph, it's not even a very attractive page!!! If they're going to make people frustrated about not getting into a site, why not make it pretty, and not just plain, so then the people will feel a bit happier. :-)

Try this and follow links to results.

I think its one of those browser-specific issues. I can't reach it with Netscape, but Safari works ok.

I can't get it with IE using the full results site address but works fine if shortened as above.

I had problems with Explorer and Netscape on their lead-in pages. However, these direct links worked for me:

Short results
Long results

Good luck!

i had no problem what so ever getting to the EMPO website. it was a little slow opening but other then that is works perfectly for me. (i have aol)

thanx everybody, i'll try and get into the site using your suggestions and hopefully it will work. cross my fingers!!!

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it still doesn's work. i'll have to try a different program because explorer sure doesn't work!!!

i actually think that this website has a grudge against me. nothing works!!!!! maybe, there's some evil villain controlling the computers that are allowed into the site, and i'm one of the ones that can't get in no matter what!!! if i ever find that guy, i'll give it to him!!! hehe, unlikely but i can't think of any other explaination...

Working fine on Internet Explorer here (6.0 and all the latest updates)... I know they were having some server issues, perhaps everything isn't completely fixed yet? Browsing through their code, I don't see anything that throws up a red flag. Perhaps the server is having trouble with the increased load that comes from everyone looking for results.

Why don't you tell me what results you want and I will paste them for you onto something else?

Emily, try closing your browser completely and re-starting it. The EMPO website's IP address was changed yesterday. Some browsers are notoriously bad about caching IP addresses indefinitely.

But let's not keep her in suspense any longer. Hey Emily, you did REALLY well! :-)

Hehe, thanx for letting me know!!!
I'll try closing my browser and try it again and hopefully it will work. If it doesn't work, then if you could paste the Green Y results for both days onto an email that would be awesome. It's cutey.froggy@gmail.com. I'll report back later about closing the browser thingymadooer...

I think it'll have to be the email, because that evil villain guy still isn't letting me in. He just uses "This page cannot be displayed" as cover so that people will never suspect anything. But I'm too smart for him. Muhahahaha!!! ;-)

Okay I've sent them, you should have them already. Hope the format held up pretty good.

That's awesome!!! Thanks sooo much.
