Gah not working again in Internet Explorer on my laptop. Fine in Firefox. Was fine on both all day on the laptop now they've gone again.

Surely this smacks of a distributed computing project. Some forum member must have Apache Hamsters.

hamsters@home?

Just a note for any OCUK staff member that happens to be reading this, your automated e-mail receipt thingy sent my mum a receipt at 17.5% VAT earlier, then she got another at 15%. It's all good though, you charged her the right amount, but you might want to check what's causing that.

Still not working for me in firefox, works fine in I.E and in Mini Opera but not in F.F

 

[jak731]

I hate using IE, get it working in FF!

So if it is an attack, can't ocuk involve the police? Or at least sue them for loss of earnings?

IIRC it is possible to do that. Can't see them going through all the fuss with it though.

And it isn't even getting attacked anyway? They said they were changing servers/hosts or something.

Loss of earnings?

 

[Tom91]

Loss of earnings?

Well the main shop site was down aswell so that's what he is on about?

 

[Cosimo]

Still no sign of the shop since yesterday afternoon.

Ta for the heads up. Will pass this on.

lol i didn't expect my thread to get this long

if u ask me this smells of bot net dos attack or something similar

i think i read on the register a while back that they do this until the website/company pays them large amounts of cash to stop.

must be some good bot net as ocuk probably runs off a server with a gigabit connection to the net

You guys have to treat the hamsters more harshly, you have them thinking they can go on strike whenever they like. It's Longbridge all over again...


I'm still intermittently cut off here.

 

[Tobes]

Haven't been able to connect to the forums for a day now. But cmd ipconfig /flushdns seemed to sort it out :s

Same here ... can't get on from work at all during the day and haven't been able to for several days (proxy reports remote site has timed out) ... at home works fine now.
