Please reply if you had any issues or problems with getting on to the boards today (November 12th)

Thanks.

yes i have, i was being redirected to a page that said "oops, google chrome could not open the webpage". if i get it again i will copy and paste it here. i was able to go around it by searching gangsterbb into google, and then clicking on on of the forum sections.

It's been on an off since the late afternoon.

I noticed that I had problems using Google Chrome with the page but not with IE

here is the error i just got...

No issues at all for me today. I was on quite a bit too.

Yes, the last couple hours especially. I get a "cannot find server" message. I can get onto every other site but not this one.

FYI, right after my post above (45 min.) I lost this site and it took this long before I could get on again. Not sure what's going on Anyone else?



TIS .

Very strange. I seem to be the only one not having any issues.

From around mid-afternoon onward, I could not access the GBB. I tried sporadically, and only now (after 2:30AM EST) was able to get in.

Kept getting a message that said, "Action Cancelled, Couldn't Find Web Page, or Web Page Is Unavailable" etc.

I also had a couple of the individual threads bookmarked. No dice. Couldn't get in. Same message.

Hope any accessibility issues have been resolved.

I had trouble logging in around 10.30pm Uk time last night..

No problem so far today!

I couldn't get on at all yesterday.

It looked sketchy when I first went to the site today, but now everything seems fine.

I am still having problems and just now got on today after trying off/on for a few hours. I just got on now. Don't know how long it'll last but for now it works.

I also had some problems a few days ago when I got blank screens with text that stated that there was no response from the server or something like that.

Well I've been able to get to the BB for an hour now. That's a first since yesterday late afternoon. What would I do without my BB fix?



TIS

Eat chocolate. Like a normal woman at home.

Oooooh. I'm gonna get it for that one .

Hey don't bug me while I'm eating my Hershey's Special Dark chocolate.


TIS

^^^^
I knew it .

Speaking of which. I bought a small bag of Godiva chocolate covered cashews at Barnes and Noble the other night because I was having a sugar fit. 8 bucks!!

F'n thieves.

I've only just managed to log in at home after trying for the last hour..

I seem to be on again/off again about every 45 mins or so. Just got back on. "I want my, I want my GBB"




TIS

Ok, was off again.

This is what happens: I click on the BB site. I get message saying, "IE cannot find web page." I do a diagnostic and comes up with "DNS server not responding."


TIS

Been having this problem since yesterday as well.

I am really glad it's not just me. I feel confident it is not my computer.

Maybe we should keep this type of thread toward top of the BB for future reference?? (or is there one in the help section?) If it happens again, it helps to know that it's more than one person experiencing the same problem. Or I guess someone could just start a new thread when problem occurs.



TIS

I usually sent JG a message on Facebook as soon as I notice a problem. ...BTW, I'm still having zero issues. The only thing I can think of is that I'm using a 4G data connection on my laptop right now, and maybe it's getting routed differently.

Couldn't get here for most of the day.

I had some wacky, similar stuff going on last night with Chrome browser, but not here -- on Verizon's FiOS site. For some reason the other browsers worked fine (including IE -- ack!!)

I haven't heard of any specific issues concerning the server we're hosted on. It's quite possible that it could be a CloudFlare issue which is a service I started using a month or two ago that is supposed to PREVENT such things -- but since I've been pointing to their name servers, it's possible they've been having some hiccups there.

Is everyone that is having a problem here using IE or what? Do you have the same issues using a different browser? It's always a good idea to have at least one backup browser on your system to try. That would really help in narrowing down the problem. So pick one of these, in my particular order of preference:

Google Chrome
Apple Safari
Mozilla SeaMonkey
Mozilla Firefox
Whatever else...

Let me know if it seems to be browser-specific. If it's not, and it doesn't go away, then I will switch-off CloudFlare and see if things improve or not. If ClourFlare seems to be the issue, then I will contact them about it.

So keep posting those error messages, and please indicate which browser you're using, and, whether it also occurs in other browsers or not.

Thanks for your patience!

I use Apple Safari and have had no issues at all.

Geoff,

Let me take this opportunity while I'm able to get back on the BB as I've been off more than on. I DO have two browsers: IE & Mozilla Firefox and I have the problem on both. I also have a second laptop (with IE & FF) and when BB's down it's down on that too.
