It's not just you - you're not alone! :)

eCRATER's having some technical problems... there's a few more threads regarding this that can explain in much better than I could.

They're aware of the problem and working on it though. And from what I know of eCRATER, they're really trying to get all working well again - I've not seen the site go down before.

I just posted a reply in another post that I can't get in either but it has never happened before. My other sites seem to go down on daily, weekly or monthly basis. I hope it comes back up soon.

Nope, you're not alone, rudeatroves.

There's a thread for updates, but there is no relevant info beyond BigT's post regarding attempts to contact admin.

When I couldn't get in, I pinged ecrater and there was 100% packet loss. I checked the server network status where eCrater is registered and all networks report proper function. However, an nslookup indicates that both name servers are down. It appears to be a problem with the domain name function and not the physical server itself.

Sorry I don't have better info. The only consolation is that if it is a dns problem, our stores are probably safe - and that's good news!

dunno' when services might be restored, but eventually someone with information will post on the Updates on ecrater.com down problem thread.

Bummer! I just got a message when I went to eCrater that it will probably be down for at least 48 hours. I wanted to do a little bit of work today and tomorrow on my itsy bitsy store there. Good luck with the problem, eCrater!

Hi Joyce,

We've never met before, but I guess that our minds are on the same track this morning. :)

No we've never met but I've seen your logo on Wagglepop - I sold on that site for a while but don't any longer.

You know what they say about Great Minds!!!

You all crack me up - hey Lurkey....I'm getting a 404 message 'now' that I wasn't getting before! When you did your research what message were you getting?

I'm just curious. For Angel and Dream - where did you see the 48 hour mention? I'm so behind!!! :oops:

Thanks to all!

2 boys - when I tried to log into my store from the boards (click on my store link) the message came up.

Hi Erin,

This is the message that I get when I go to eCrater.com:

"eCRATER is currently down. The server will be pulled out today from the datacenter. It looks like a hardware failure. We apologize for the inconvinience. ETA will be probably at least 48h."

Thanks Angel - I'm a dork, and was not going to the home page - but rather to the 'login' page! Usually, that's my first stop, so I didn't even think about the home page....

I too am getting that message! I thought I was 'loosing' it! :wink: :roll:

Erin, if I hadn't seen this on PSU, I would have gone to the login page later today and thought that I was doing something wrong because I'm not good at getting around on eCrater yet.

So it looks like no eCrater for us today. Maybe I'll see you on PoshPoints later! I need to go and add the referral thingy to my signature here too. Thanks for the visual reminder. :)
