Hey, I'm pretty new to the metagame, and I just started going onto Smogon's server. Well, today I hit my stride and got up to 98 on the rankings, but then, after that, I started DC'ing after about 5 minutes every time I enter the server. This has become a large problem, since whenever I start a match, I DC half-way into it and the server counts it as a forfeit from me. After ~10 matches of straight DC's, my ranking decreased to 400. You can imagine my frustration.
My internet connection is very good, so there's no problem there. Does anyone know anything I'm not doing that I have to do to stay on the server? For reference, what happens when I DC in a match is that one turn, I press a move, and nothing happens. Chat I type in doesn't show up in the battle screen or in the main server screen. Shortly after this, I either receive a message that I was DC'd from the server, or it just remains in this state forever until I close down the screens.
Thanks for any help, it's appreciated.
