Like Max, I'm interested to know what browser you've got (though
in reality it shouldn't matter, a *few* browser versions have some
particularly nasty bugs for fully automated sites), and what error
message you see when you go to
http://www.href.com/DFM2HTML
I use the HREF site very often, and only see anything unusual
when they are doing a 5-minute maintenance update, or have
failed to complete the site content before putting it online (not
wonderful, but hardly a "crash").
Also, to whom did you report the problems? I'm astonished at the
non-response, so I'm just wondering if someone is not getting the
email messages they should.
Anyway, to answer your question -- an application written with
WebHub *can* crash if badly written or not adequately tested, as
can any other Delphi app. But that aside, WebHub-based sites
have a very good track record, with quite a few useful defences
against the kind of things that can unwittingly bring down a site
(e.g. traffic spikes, threading hassles, resource overcommitment
etc).
'best.
