Website Issues (Read 501 times)

Is it my internet connection / PC or can anyone else not access the Fleetlists or any other section of the main forum website? Have been trying all afternoon, but sadly to no avail.

I'm on Windows XP / IE7 with Virgin, if it helps...?

Suspect its a Virgin Media issue-im on same setup and its not responding properly.

I couldn't access the Fleetlists and Information sections this morning (using either Opera or Sea Monkey), and can't now, so I would think it is not your connection/PC which is at fault.

Looks like there is a fault. We will look into it.

It is not a Virgin specific problem. If you do

traceroute 195.242.99.89

from a command line, you'll see it gets as far as "leaseweb" (presumably the host used) and fails.

The websites (all now hosted on the same server since last year) are offline due to a technical glitch. Understand at this point it is due to a blown fuse at the date centre in the Netherlands and they are currently trying to fix / resolve the issue as quickly as possible. It has been offline since approximately 7am this morning and given that we have a few Java scripted codes for the forum that are hosted on this server, the forum may not function in the way it should during this time, non more so than the Quick Reply feature.

Sadly, this remains out of our hands (unlike the Bandwith problem a few months back, now increased to 1TB per month), though we are told it should be back online within the next few hours. However as it is a Sunday, they are reportedly having problems with staff getting to the date centre in the Netherlands.

We can only apologise for the inconvenience this may cause you.

Thanks,

Had been wondering why I couldn't access the Gallery section earlier this afternoon. Just kept receiving the message "Server is too busy."

Still appears to be offline still at this moment in time.

Problem resolved. Now back online as of 10.20pm GMT.

Thanks,

Looks like its down again for me, is it a problem for all users or just myself?

The server is only running at half-speed at the moment and this is the main problem. It is expected to return to normal from March 15. No further news at this stage.

We can only apologise for the inconvenience this may cause you.

No problems here, just been having a look at the Fleetlists section too and if it supposedly only running half-speed, I certainly haven't noticed a difference with the connection.
