Trouble with the forum?

Lila64 · 06-22-2009, 02:50 PM

I've been having trouble for several days now accessing the forum. Half the time, I get timeout error messages, and have to refresh. After a while, it gets quite frustrating. It happens on both computers. I even cleared out the Temp Files folder. And many times the smilies & avatars don't appear. I read in another part of the forum that someone else was having similar issues (Network timeout error messages). Anyone else having trouble, and is there a possible resolution? Hate to have it be like this with the tour starting next week!

Thanks!

Here's what I keep getting. I'm not having trouble with any other site.

Network Timeout

The server at u2.interference.com is taking too long to respond.

The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.

* Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
* Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.

Weird, I'm not having any trouble.

I'll shoot off an email though and ask.

Lila64 · 06-22-2009, 03:31 PM

WTF? I had a different message here...

All other sites are working for me. I'm on Internet Explorer. And thanks Sicy.

My error messages are generally:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

It takes forever getting around the forum right now

joyfulgirl · 06-22-2009, 03:54 PM

I'm on Mozilla.

I'm on firefox and I've been having the same problem, page wont load, I have to refresh, etc etc

**Sicy** · 06-22-2009, 04:44 PM

Just heard from a couple others that they are also having problems. Hopefully they can get this straightened out.

Lila64 · 06-22-2009, 05:20 PM

Thanks Sicy!

I'm having the same problem and I'm using Safari, Interference seems to be the only site affected.

joyfulgirl · 06-23-2009, 11:01 AM

I still had problems this morning on my home computer but so far not here on my computer at work. Hmm.

**Sicy** · 06-23-2009, 11:48 AM

They did do a server adjustment or something to that effect last night so maybe its better now?

Lila64 · 06-23-2009, 12:52 PM

Let me surf it a little this morning...

ETA: Still having trouble... Slightly better though. I think.

Galeongirl · 06-23-2009, 01:47 PM

I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but whenever I'm on Interference(using IE) the status bar says done, but with errors on the page. Though I can do whatever I like on the forums, the only thing I noticed is that I have to hit "mark as read" twice before it actually does that.

Lila64 · 06-23-2009, 02:38 PM

It took 18 seconds for this page to load from the User Control panel. But it loaded

On posts from yesterday, where it says 'yesterday' and the time, the little box to the left of 'yesterday' looks like a white outline on blue. I can't remember if that's what it's supposed to look like or not. Actually the ones from earlier today look the same except for GG's. There's a little yellowy-orange thing there.

And earlier today, some avatars were not appearing for me (and some other images). That was a problem the last few days too.

joyfulgirl · 06-23-2009, 08:03 PM

I'm back at home and back to the same problems. No problems whatsoever on my work computer; so bad on my home computer that it's almost too much trouble to post.

This is telling.

Any clue anybody? Why suddenly my computer decided to have a problem with only this site?
