Umm is it my connection or is there a reason I am having trouble

[MontyB]

connecting to this site at the moment?

Sometimes it works fine, other times it times out.

Same here, sometimes trying to log in takes a couple of minutes.

There seems to be ongoing network issues around the datacenter where our server is located.
I've had contact with their support over the last couple of weeks, and they claim that it's no problems at their side, and they blamed my ISP here in Norway.....
Still on it, since it's certainly an issue here...

 

[The Highway Man]

Not good for the site, but good to know there is a problem and it's being investigated.

 

[Redleg]

Is it better now? Seems like it's back to normal from my end now.

 

[MontyB]

Could be, it came up first time today but I guess time will tell.

 

[The Highway Man]

Fired up straight away for me.

 

[The Highway Man]

Gone slow again!

 

[Redleg]

It's a bit on and off.... Can't find any problems on the server, so it seems like it's a network issue close to St. Louis (where the datacenter is...)

 

[Redleg]

I think I may have found the error. Any improvements in the forum speed for you now?

 

[The Highway Man]

It seems to have loaded up straight away.

 

[Redleg]

Good good.
It actually seems like the problem was a drastic increase in bot-activity over the last few weeks...
