Site availability

Post by rubber_jonnie »

I noticed this morning that the forum was unavailable for me. It seems that I can still access it via my mobile and the problem appears to be BTs DNS not resolving the forum ip address.

I was just wondering if anyone else is having an issue with BT as everything else is just fine.

I couldn't connect at all. Over BT or Mobile (don't know what network it uses)

Strange. I can't access it via my local connection, but if I use VPN then I'm good. Everything else is fine.

I couldn't access it from my mobile earlier today but seems ok now.

I was having problems posting via my desktop with VPN enabled on Thursday but that might be unrelated

To be fair to BT they are usually very reliable, but glad to hear it wasn't just me!

Also back on myself now too.

Yeah, it's been specially today so I suspect your Thursday issue was something else.
