Erm, yes it is. When was the last time?

Hobbes

I keep getting timeouts trying to read the boards this morning.

I wish internet traffic report still existed.

Anyone know if there are outages?

MiCr0

possibly resolving preoc to the .ie bit???

Hobbes

I can read about 6 or 7 pages then I loose the connection for about a minute. Only to boards.ie

Also when the pages do work, I don't get any adverts only Mr Red X box.

well I do know there was more than one ... you had mention slow page loading etc sometimes not loading at all ...

off hand last was when Tom was posting about the fact boards is using an old version of UBB.

But I get the same thing ... sitting on a 20meg connection and board ( the front page in particular ) can take ages to load.

Probably down to peek times when everybody is posting and just the connection gets maxed out? teeheehee

MiCr0

i'm getting the red X too
from .se

Hobbes

getting a hell of a lot worse.

You know if I was paranoid, I'd say you had something personal against me.

Tried on a different machine. Worked fine for a while then totally lost the connection again.

I've had to route my net traffic through another DNS server to access the board again.

If it happens again, I only have 2-3 more servers I can bounce off.

I notice that sometimes when I click on a topic nothing happens for about a minute or too
and I also notice that pages do be loading slowly aswell
