Forum downtime

News & General Discussion

Hopefully I’m not the only one.

The past few days I have experienced times where I can’t get on the forum. Yet I still get the emails from threads and private messages so I would assume the site isn’t down but when you can’t log in for hours it’s a bit weird to still get the emails unless they’re different servers or something.

Am I the only one having this downtime lately?

Yesterday it was like 6-8 hours.

Only been happening the past 2 weeks, yesterday was the longest outage.

Want to see if it’s an actual issue or maybe there’s a problem on my end somewhere. My cable has been a little iffy lately.

No issues here. There’s always http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/.

Never knew about that site. For a second there thought you were just being a smartass :slight_smile:
Just weird that everything else worked but this site was giving me issues.

Thanks for the link

Yeah, it sounds snarky every time I see someone post it, but it’s indeed real :hushed: . Useful.

Haha I’ve never seen that site before, that’s an odd problem. What is happening when you can’t login, does it hang or tell you “NO”

I get a 404.

These are 999 out of 1000 your ISP’s DNS servers.

P.S. and you’ll be misled because if an IP address is still in your local cache those sites will seem to have been looked up by your ISP’s DNS servers.
