Both are great drive-ins.

Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-19-2009 06:04 PM                     Drive-Ins.com is often difficult to connect to, although I was using it earlier today with Firefox without any problems.  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 03-19-2009 09:16 PM                     The Fork Union Drive In located on Rt. 612 Fork Union Va. in Fluvanna County. would be about 90 miles. It's located in a scenic rural town. Open Friday and Saturday nights, generally plays first run. Nice place with good food.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-19-2009 09:51 PM                     Drive-In.com loaded fine on my laptop through IE6 and FF3 with no problem. Sometimes, the site, even though might have a fast server, might be bogged down with multiple users - including in-house users that are transferring or gathering large files - soaking up all the available bandwidth that can be had.. ..and I run across the same thing on rare occasion trying to connect here with Film-Tech, esp during the late afternoon when every "Tom, Dick and Harry" is using any sort of bandwidth available. I just figured that the network is super busy and try again later  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-20-2009 09:45 AM                        I'll concur with Bill... Fork Union is a very nice drive-in. We visited there during daylight hours back in July of 1999, and I would honestly say it was the best landscaped/well manicured drive-in I had ever seen. We didn't stay for a show as we were on our way to DC.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 03-20-2009 12:46 PM                     drive-ins.com doesn't load at all on any browser I've tried. All of them simply gave a blank white screen. In chrome it gave an error response from the site that says "Error 320 (net::ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE): Unknown error."  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 03-20-2009 03:32 PM                     Hi Betsy and Chris. You're not the only one's experiencing connection difficulties accessing drive-ins.com. I've tried both IE 7 and FF 3.0.7 and neither can connect. I did quick run of VisualRoute and it produced an answer to our problem. It seems a firewall is blocking access to this site one hop before the Drive-ins.com server and is likely to be causing our grief. I hope this helps. Cheers Ian  |  IP: Logged
