One of the websites that I use daily is just not working at all. I'm not talking about MyLot I'm talking about a different website. It's frustrating because this is a website that I do make money on.
What do you do when websites aren't working properly? Do you just stop using the website until it's fixed?
For right now I'm not making any new posts on that website because I don't want to keep "working" on it when I know there's a possibility of it not being posted correctly.

@HarishSubramanian has a good idea. There are sites that ping other sites. I was using a gaming site that at certain times would maintain their computers and so needed to go offline to do so. They always came back but if I encounter a problem I know is on the internet side and not my computer I pull the plug really quick. Don't want irritation. If it is my computer that is a different story. Hit it with a big hammer.

@Bellatricks On the whole computers are working better than years ago with speeds were slow and crashes were a common occurence. But I think there will always be faults.

Not working at all is different from not working properly. With the latter you should report the error to a support person (if that is possible). If a site is not working at all chances are there is a fault on the web somewhere that is preventing you getting through, just be patient and try again later in the day. Remember even big sites like Facebook do crash occasionally.

@Bellatricks it is probably disrupting some of the support staff's lives right now. I imagine some of them have been up for more than 24 hours.

I prepare my would be posts on Microsoft word and I will just copy paste them when the site is finally working. Sometimes I will just have fun on my pc like watch Youtube videos or play games to kill the boredom as I wait for the site to work again.

Yes I stop using it friend. In todays online world one never knows if you are wasting time on a site as they close down so much and so often.
