repeated long-term forum downtimes

Lt. Killer M · 30-07-2004, 10:23

lately, this place has repeatedly been down for me for prolonged periods of time. sometimes 10 minutes, but once a full day.

in between, I get email notes of people posting along with info from stapel via MSM that for him the place is up.

this is starting to seriously hamper my interest in ISDG, as I ncna hardly ever follow the turn thread properly, much less post.

others with the same experience?

Yeah, I've experiencing it too.. Sometimes @ work, sometimes @ home (not sure exactly). It's annoying but it doesn't undermine my interest in the ISDG

i sometimes experience timeouts..but normally i check 5-10 mins later and it is back up.

Plux: if I read pages fo threads, then can't post or re-check on progres for a full day that DOES reduce my interest. I can't even DL saves then, after all.

Well, most of the times it's 5-10 minutes so it's not that bad. Helps to keep my head with my work, unfortunately

most of the time it is down for hours on end for me

and I get so upset I can't work

Weird. Very occasionally I get downtime that lasts for a while, and others can get there and post.

Same for me, and it has always been the case since I came here. But it is almost never down for a whole day though. Sometimes (many times actually !!) it works, but badly : heavy topics don't show properly, and I have to reload them several times. The trick is to click "reply" so as to read what is missing (because the rest shows up then).

Weirdly, I have never experienced anything like this when I was working on a network machine with Netscape...

I have never had serious problems. Neither with Mozilla nor with IE.

Just a couple of 5 minute glitches over here in the last couple of days. Nothing annoying.
