had to flush my dns several times before, could get to the site. Some changes done in the background of this board?

I almost went into withdrawls

Hi mate

I emailed Stuart about the problem who emailed Neil, I'd say either the server went down which handles the forum or they moved it to another server as stated and stuffed up, I'm sure Neil or Stuart will give us the details

Its a computer! What do you expect

Worked with them (and got a qualification) so I know all to well how unpredictable they can be :O

Why some of these people rely 100% on them now to live their lives, I dont know :O :S

Hey,

I think the hosting company decided to move the server that the forum was on. Due to the way the internet works it takes a while for the address to tie up to the new server properly so thats probably what happened. I've emailed them but not heard anything back yet. I know what you mean about withdrawl tho

Still here

no worries. i get a fair few page timeouts these days, are others getting the same or is it just my connection?

[TedV]

its not just you. Ive had some problems getting the page to load in a timely fashion

Yep down here on Prison Island "Australia" ISP problems are the norm these days. Seems to be noticed in other countries - it seems you're of service to the companies these days, not the old days when companies just about done back flips to be of service to you.

Complain to these big TNC's and they just simply tell you to stick it

Information Technology can be a pain in the arse at times.

I've had a few hiccups loading this forum, but cannot comment if it is from the hosting server or just my s**t connection.

Perhaps the Aussie problem is also due to another phenomenon... where previously the Great Firewall of China was the only man-made object to be seen from Cyberspace, Australia is ramping up to do create something similar
