<p>It's actually worse now. At first, the server was responding, even if only with a blank page. Now all I get is an error message "Safari can't connect to the server." The "back door" approach isn't working any more, either.</p>

<p>Must be a malfunction. They wouldn't just pull the plug without saying anything.</p>

<p>It would be helpful to know if RFF is down permanently or suffering temporary server or provider problems. I'm surprised that the site has been down for 5 days and no word or even a temporary main page is to be found. A temporary page could be up in less than an hour; the lack of any word is not encouraging.</p>

<p>I doubt that the site is down permanently. RFF is a good and popular place. I'm sure they are just having more than their share of bad luck with this server (or whatever) switch.</p>

<p>I think people misunderstand how difficult it is to do some of this stuff and how much more difficult it is to do when you don't have paid staff to deal with it. I realize that some users get frustrated with the commerce and advertising on Photo.net, but the ability to fix problems is one of the things that ads and subscriptions pay for.</p>

<p>Plus, I get to eat.</p>

<p>This is a direct quote from the Rangefinder Forum on Flickr. Somebody contacted Stephen Gandy. His reply:</p>

<p>"RFF is having server problems, along with very poor tech hosting<br />support over the long Thanksgiving weekend. Techs are working on it. I hope RFF will be back up later today." </p>
