Hi does anyone else get regular outage these days? Here in the UK it is lunchtime & only just managed to get through after trying all morning. For many weeks I find the site is out for 80% of the time.

My PC is set for cookies ok & the phone outage is the same. I thought it might be a location thing, but when I was in Greece a couple of weeks ago the outage seemed the same.

Are there times of day or night that are more vulnerable than others? I can find no pattern to it.

During the outage (for me) I have been on HMVF asking if others get problems of access. The results were varied, but Hanno came on & gave some alternative ways of getting access in times of difficulty.

I am pleased to say I'm currently getting MLU on all 4 links :) :) :) :)

I believe this is a DNS issue which no one seems to be able to solve. The alternate addresses Hanno posted all work, most of the time. We've had very little real outage in the last year or so, just when the server has been swamped by spammers.

DNS Server problems
 

The problems are annoying, BUT I am somewhat relieved to hear that its not MY computer exclusively!

It did highlight how much I rely on a steady diet of MLU .

I don't know that much about the connection problem, but maybe if it's human caused, I could get the cold steel out and stick it 'up em'.

THEY DONT LIKE IT UP EM, Mr Mainwaring, they don't like it up em! :no4:

The only consolation is that we all did the same time. Try a longer Bayonet Tony.
