Anyone else getting page timeouts on the forums tonight?

DJMK4 · 21 Oct 2012 at 17:06

Where do they host? locally or at a DC?

PorkPieCat · 21 Oct 2012 at 17:22

i've been getting this too. thought it was my bro downloading things, though as some have said it only seems to be affecting ocuk forums

Cosimo · 21 Oct 2012 at 17:28

Lots of random slowdowns over the past few days.

O2/Be people have been complaining about this.

Yep, rubbish today.

From time to time the forums just bomb out and refuse to load for about 5 minutes, thena ll is well again.

Been doing it for a few months for me, just assumed it was the servers/co-lo wherever the forums live.

VM here (Cosham UBR) - I have 99 problems but the forums ain't one

Marky · 21 Oct 2012 at 19:09

VM here also and had no problems...

Dist · 21 Oct 2012 at 19:16

I'm on VM and had some issues once in a while yesterday (not been on much today to test), and I've also been having issues with read threads still showing as unread, so hard to keep track of what I have and haven't read yet.

so it's definitely an o2 thing then...

VM here and have been occasionally getting these problems with ocuk for the past few days.

DJMK4 · 21 Oct 2012 at 22:29

Seems there is a major failure in two locations with regards to routing,

Sui · 21 Oct 2012 at 23:37

Breaking here as well on Be. Although other sites also seem slow, but none are timing out like OCuk.

Cosimo · 22 Oct 2012 at 08:40

It does happen on BT Broadband and I had it from Poland last week. Random pregnant pauses and other sites are just fine.

phil-k · 22 Oct 2012 at 08:59

I have had it for about a week i am on o2

ThomasTheTankEngine · 22 Oct 2012 at 10:37

Happens all the time for me, but I assumed it was because I'm at work using IE8.

phil-k · 22 Oct 2012 at 10:54

looking on other forums it is a problem about DNS Servers with o2.
I have had a google and it says you have to change things through Telnet in the command prompt, but does not say what settings to use, getting a bit complicated for me

lurkio · 22 Oct 2012 at 11:49

Any chance someone from OCuk web team could look at this ?

I have checked it from my house connection (time outs) using Enta ISP
and
I have also checked it from work where the ISP is Be There (time outs) as well

Same here, only on these forums. Both on Chrome and Firefox. Very annoying.
