I seem to be stalling if I'm refreshing but it's grand if I click on another forum or the home page.

Mr Magnolia

That's happening to me, and also adfarm weirdness.

Can you do anything while it's stalling? e.g. switch tab, does the context menu appear when you right click.

CrazyRabbit

It took 18 seconds to open this thread I'm not even sure of this reply will post before it times out.

However, I have sneaky suspicion that my companies network has gone down the proverbial toilet today.

Ron DMC

That recent slowness was because of Cult's "thanks" add-on, which is now removed, and so we're back at full speed again.

Gandalf23

Verrrrrrry slow here too ... could be something to do with the "thank you" button Cult is playing with?

Nope.

So it's not just me. I'm on ff 2.0.0.12 but it stalls for me on opera and ie so it's not a browser problem. I think it may be down to a javascript problem. I'm gonna install noscript and see if that fixes it.

[noscript][/ noscript]should work

If that does work, will you post here, thanks.

Yep, it works. Noscript is a pain in the balls for sites like boards. Quick reply can't be used among with a load of other things. Although it is worth it.

Wow :eek:

Speeds are way improved.

Nice one for that, I'd never heard of noscript before tbh.

If only there was some way to express thanks to other users.

Been down for most of the evening...

Overheal

Now thats some major bandwidth rapeage: the front page just looked like it was from 1992 it took that long for the graphics to load.

Wertz

Horrible load times and time outs randomly since this afternoon...thought it was my ISP (BT) since some other sites were slow but seems to be consistently bad only on these forums...

Sierra Oscar

Been very slow for me the last few hours - I just got a DataBase error also.

Overheal

Might just be this storm system acting the tit. Or someone forgot to give the hamsters their cookies.

Stephen

Looks to me like Digiweb has been falling off the interweb intermittently this evening - each time boards was down I couldn't get to Digiweb's own site either.

RuggieBear

C'mon CuLt....get the finger out!:D

Krieg

It took me nearly 10mins to get here! (I really should waste my time on something productive :rolleyes: ).

mike65

Awful awful awful sack Rafa I mean er.....who's in charge again?

Mike.

Boards has been down for most of the evening here. All the new :pac: :pac: :pac: must be clogging up the tubes...

Zaph

Managed to get in here through the Boards group link on Boards.jp. Can't get in through direct link to the main site, everything just dies and I get a "cannot connect to server" message. On FF 2.0.0.12 and BT, btw.

Kur4mA

I'm on BT also and its FECKED. I think it could be the altfarm.mediaplex ads that are doing it. Any word from the admins or CuLT?

testicle

Digiweb are having major network issues. Boards is hosted by digiweb.

Digiweb routing (INEX/DEG/etc.) has been well and truely b0rked all evening (since about 6.45pm). Metro, DSL and (more worryingly) data centre customers have been affected with no acknowledgement or resolution in sight.

DEG is a DC, INEX is an Exchange, only one of them has to do with routing.

I understand a massive DOS is in progress against Digiweb.

Better yet, who has a bot farm that can take down a ISP? Thats some hardcore bandwidth.

Allow me clarify, for the pedantic. Some/most/(all?) Digiweb routes leaving DEG have been b0rked all evening. As too has their INEX peering. As too has some/most/(all?) data centre customers (dedicated, colo, boards.ie, etc.) been on/offline all evening.

Could well be a DOS (I'll assume you have inside knowledge to know that and be so pedantic!). Not something you'll see reported on their website ("No issues" being reported). Not something support staff will tell you when you call. Not something support staff will leave in voicemail to you.

To summarise. Digiweb has been screwed all evening and that is the cause of boards.ie being unavailable to many.

There's been a very, very large DDoS. I'll expect the network team to have it fully under control shortly.
