Forum Functions & Functionality: Technical Problems & Known Issues

[Yithian]

Is the board being DDOSed? It's running really slowly right now.

We are aware of this issue and are investigating.

It was down completely for hours for me

It is working, but it's been so slow that browsers will often time-out waiting for pages to load.

 

[kesavaross]

It reminds me of my first dial up modem which was 28k.

I've either fixed the problem, or my cack-handed attempts to fix the problem have coincided with its having come to an end.

Well done, sir!

And don't let Gordon near it again.

And don't let Gordon near it again.

I'm not saying he's been drinking.

I'm just saying he's on licensed premises with a phone.

I think I spotted his drink!

I thought this web site was raided by MI 5 because we found out that UFOs are real and they shut it down.

But the forum came back.

But the forum came back.

Yith and Gordon were able to persuade MI5 into thinking that this was a satirical website.
That wasn't too difficult.

I thought it was just me! I couldn't get in and I thought you lot had locked the door and were giggling away at my attempts to force the windows.

My pages weren’t loading at all for a few hours.

Not now, back home and all the problems have gone, well from the Forum anyhow.

I'd just posted a link to an article claiming that early life exposure to cats was linked to schizophrenia when everything stopped. I thought I'd angered our feline overlords. Phew!

Cancels order for four tons of catnip to try and bribe my way out of trouble.

Same here.

 

[Iris]

Yes glad Yithian has fixed it. I kept watching the emails load up that I couldn't access yet everything else worked so I went to bed

I think that article may just be the proof that you can link anything to anything if you put in enough research.

 

[Analogue Boy]

This site is crawling to the point of being unusable at the moment.

 

[kesavaross]

Same for me as well.

 

[Mythopoeika]

Same...

 

[Tempest63]

Appears to be ok in this part of the world.

 

[catseye]

I couldn't get in just now, then it was slow, now all back to normal.

 

[ChasFink]

Same here. Very slow about 10 minutes ago, fine now.

 

[AnonyJ]

Not now, back home and all the problems have gone, well from the Forum anyhow.

Are you sure?

When I couldn't get onto the forums on Saturday, I tried the main domain of www.forteana.org and it worked fine. So it was something that affected the forums only.
