    The website would not load on the two PC's we own.  We subsequently bought a laptop where it also does not load.  Spoke to our son/daughter who live in different states and it comes up without any difficulty whatsoever.  The website is gapfire.com.  Any help would be most appreciated

    Is this a weak attempt at SPAM ? ?

    On another note...

    Is it up? Quickly see if your computer, connection, or the server you're trying to connect to is having problems by entering an address.

      When I enter gapfire.com the message I always get on IE is website cannot be found-there are no numerals/symbols after that message.  This is a website providing horseracing charts-not tips-for a fee.  It is NOT a wagering website.

        I did not realize that I'd be subjected to accusations and innuendos when posting here.  When I went on the gapfire website on the public library in mid December, I DID pay $10 via Paypal and was given the month of January gratis as a holiday bonus.

        It's neither accusations nor innuendo at all...
        We checked the site you asked and it loads fine...
        Therefore the next logical move is to eliminate some of the possibilities of why it doesn't work on your machines...

        Both questions were part of that elimination process...
        If you were offended i apologise.
        And i'd also suggest instead of knocking us contact your ISP and/or the site's webmaster.
        Best of Luck.

          Gapfire could not understand why I was having a problem  and I was accused of attemting to spam and not paying for the service Gapfire provides  No need to respond as I shall not go back on this website

          That's a question, not an accusation.

          Did you stiff him for the $10.00 donation fee he asks for...he may have blocked your IP addy...

          Another question followed by a possible reason. (Without proper punctuation...) Shame on you Patio!!  ;)

          Facepalm anyone?

          Thats entirely up to you...although i think you managed to take everything personally.

          I can get on gapfire's website too, so I would say that you may want to try a different web-browser,such as Google chrome or Firefox.

          Apart from it being a horrible website that thinks my browser is outdated, it works fine.
          Do you have trouble with connecting with more websites? If so, restart your router and/or modem.

          Oh, you guys scared him off. Glad to see nothing changed. lol.
