I haven't experienced this problem today, but the server has been having issues for the last hour or so. Things appear to be fine now, however if you are still having issues try clearing your cookies to see if that helps.

You're visiting at the times when too many people are trying to connect to PC. Most of the users here are from the United States, and peak usage time for PC's American members happens to be between 3 PM and 9 PM Eastern Standard time.

A 404 error isn't related to downtime at all, it just means there's no such file on the server. ;)

Justin, where are you seeing the 404 errors? Like Jelli, I haven't come across these at all. It would really help if you let us know where you're seeing them so that we could investigate further.

you should not be getting 404 errors.. unless you are following a bad link from somewhere.. at best you should get a forum message saying that the thread / post is invalid.

Can you provide page URL examples where you were getting 404 errors please.

Could you post the link here? It would be really helpful.

Copied it directly from my Firefox bookmark The PokéCommunity Forums

What browser are you using?

 

[Moltres Rider]

I am using Firefox as stated above

You could always just delete & re-bookmark the site, I think that should help. Try the good 'ol cache clearing, etc.

it has only happened today and now seemed to have stopped... are you sure that it isn't downtime like donavannj says???

As Zach clarified earlier, the 404 error has nothing to do with the downtimes, but rather the lack of that file on the server. The error that occurs(usually) with downtimes is 524.
