dns server failure? I'm posting this from my phone since I keep getting the dns error. I haven't been able to get on the site with my computer since yesterday around this time. Is there something wrong on my end or is it a problem with the site?

DNS servers keep records of what IP addresses to use to reach certain domain names(such as LS1Tech.com, resides at a specific set of IP addresses). DNS issues are typically on your end in this case. It means the DNS server your ISP uses either does not have an entry for LS1Tech(and cannot get one), has a corrupted entry, or your computer's DNS cache is somehow corrupted.
Try running this command from a command prompt(Start -> Run, and a little box pops up, type this in there)
That will clear your DNS cache and force all new entries to be queried to your DNS server. If it still happens, call your ISP. If it were an issue on our end, very few if any members would be able to access the site.
