www.boards.ie not working

cornbb

http://www.boards.ie/ (or http://anything.boards.ie/) won't bring me to the site but http://boards.ie/ will. This seems odd. downforeveryoneorjustme.com reports that www.boards.ie should work fine. Is it just me? I'm an NTL customer, in case that matters.

Well since your posting... then yes, it works fine!

I'm using the http://boards.ie URL - http://www.boards.ie won't work, that's my point.

AlmightyCushion

All's fine here.

Steve

Works fine for me on IE7/XP/NTL BB

What browser are you using?

cornbb

Hmm weird. I'm using FF 3.0.1 on a Mac. It was fine earlier at the office but is acting funnily at home now - hence I'm suspecting NTL are doing funny things.

Any other NTL people in Galway care to try this?

ironictoaster

It never works for me at around 4am.

Sherifu

http://mordeth.boards.ie isn't working either :-\

cornbb

I've just tried it in Safari and I'm having the same problem there. So its not a browser issue. Also tried clearing my cookies and cache, no luck there either.

That's the backup that kicks off every night. Although it's around 3ish now.

It's been happening around 3ish ever since CuLT fixed the time drift thingy and set it for 4am on the button...:pac:

Does a mac have an equivalent of tracert or dos ping so you can rule out browser issues?
works for me with or without www.

cornbb

Traceroute and ping to "www.boards.ie" timed out. Traceroute and ping to "boards.ie" are both successful.

Wierd - is it only boards?

If you can narrow the problem down as far as possible it helps though.

Yep, haven't noticed problems with other sites. boards is really slow too for some reason.

I choose to blame my sh*tty ISP - NTL!

AlmightyCushion

Boards was slow for me for a while but it's grand now.

Steve

Boards is OK speed for me tonight - it has been slow in the past at times though.

I have found on occasion that ntlworld seems not to talk to digiweb on occasion - it happened last week where I couldn't access anything hosted via digiweb including boards, my office emails and work server access - I could however get in using vodafone/mobile/usb though.

cornbb

Ok, weird. Everything's ok now, speed is back to normal and www.boards.ie is working again. Happy days :pac:

Steve

I hope you're trying to be funny...

Using Cloud skin, none of the buttons are appearing. Not even the little red 'x'.

Boards is sick

Hermy

Same here. None of the links/ buttons have their usual images - they're all in text format.

dregin

Cloud skin here and everything's working fine.

Scratch that - just did a forced refresh for the laugh and it's all gone to hell \o/

muffler

Weird alright. Im able to post but the pages arent loading fully. All the reply tabs, report posts, smilies,icons etc are there with text only. Using FF 3.0.1

Having same problem as Hermy. Running FF 3.0 and have tried IE7.0 with the same result. Pages only partially loading, with buttons appearing in text or not a all.

AdMMM

static.boards.ie seems to be down, which seems to be where vB pulls the images from, if you strip "static" from the image url's, it works, but you'd have to throw together a greasemonkey script for it to do it in bulk and not have any effort on your part

+1 except running on firefox 2.0.0.16

MrVestek

Same issues for me too. Using Firefox 3.0.1 and IE7 on an imagine connection currently.

Indeed! The bottom of my page right now states "Connecting to static.boards.ie..."; now has shifted to "Connected to static.boards.ie..." but is not loading the buttons, only text for buttons.

Victor

Mobile skin is working fine - it has no images.

Good thinking there batman.


*Goes mobile*

randylonghorn

It started doing it after the 4 a.m. back-up last night* (or maybe after the 3 a.m. "false" back-up we've been having for last few days, but around then anyway). Seems fine again now.

Ah!!

:cool:

My friend had a nasty habbit of editing a file so that I couldn't go to boards. Grr. Doubt this was similar of course, just mentioning a good prank to pull.

tman

hehe, that's a great prank to pull actually... Can't believe I haven't edited the hosts file for anybody in work yet!

Tar.Aldarion

He set it up so he just put in a usb stick and pulled it out and the damage was done. Nice.
He also liked hacking the wireless and redirecting me to other sites. :-D

Black Swan

Seems OK now. Thanks to whomever fixed it!

sunnyse

I still can't see any of the drop down menus at the top of the pages on any of the boards.Anyone have this problem or at leasy know how to fix it???

As the original problem has been fixed it seems that you have a unique problem. What have you tried doing? What browser are you using? What skin are you using?

My problem seems to have resolved itself too, everything seems to be working fine now.
Cheers.
