XF official forum issue

[Dean]

Peggy, if you can get through, and the forum needs attention there are a couple of ways you can contact me, and those work fine. It is painfully intermittent from Silicon valley area.

 

[Peggy]

Seems to be very random areas having issues with the site. That's odd.

No problems here in SoCal.

Really? Yet others in Cali are having issues (see digitalpoint's post above). Strange...

 

[Peggy]

@ Dean - I'm not able to quote your post for whatever reason. I'm here and posting now, but on my way to bed.
I hope that whatever it is, is cleared up by tomorrow.

Y'know what I find strange?..... I have no problem with any other site. Only xf.com. How odd is that?

 

[digitalpoint]

Seems like whatever it was has been fixed. Definitely was driving me crazy all afternoon though. lol Was only this site too for whatever reason. {shrug}

Edit: spoke too soon. still happening /wrists

 

[Saeed]

Yeah, a teensy weensy bit better, but still taking longer than before for the page to load.

Who is your ISP?

 

[digitalpoint]

AT&T U-Verse for me.

 

[ManagerJosh]

AT&T U-Verse for me.

I'm TwC and haven't experienced anything unusual.

 

[Peggy]

AT&T U-Verse for me.

AT&T here too, DSL.

It'll be interesting to see who the others use.

 

[Onimua]

AT&T U-Verse for me.

Same here, though I don't like them much.

 

[Peggy]

Still.... why would this be the only site we are having issues with? You'd think we'd have issues with the entire internet?

 

[Dean]

Houston, we have a problem.

I did a tracert - the problem is in Houston.. More strangely, for me, I can tracert http://xenforo.com but it is intermittent. I cannot tracert www.xenforo.com. They take very different paths.

Dean who's your ISP?

 

[ENF]

Not necessarily, it all depends on what path your connection takes to get to it's destination. Each site you access probably has a different route and it all depends on the transit providers between you and the destination. A tracert would identify who the lame duck is in your routing path.

 

[Dodgeboard]

was happening here in Kansas as well but all seems to be working well now.

 

[Dean]

Dean who's your ISP?

I'm sure that makes much of a difference, except for which path is taken, ATT dsl..

The problem is in Houston, possibly inside the Planet headquarters.. though keep in mind I do not know a lot about these things.

 

[Jeffin]

Fine down under.

 

[Onimua]

I think it's finally resolved for me, hours later. Made sure it didn't cause problems after loading this thread but looks like it finally sorted itself.
