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

    Works fine for me on IE7/XP/NTL BB

    What browser are you using?

    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?

    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.

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

    Wierd - is it only boards?

    *Not saying I know what to do next, my nerd powers ran out 2 posts ago :D
    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!

    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.

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

    Boards is sick :(

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

    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.

    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
