Been unable to get on the forums the past hour.

Why couldn't this happen during my exams...... ::)

Anyways, off to bed.

Sorry to hear that. Still working with IT even though I should be going to bed. If someone happens to get this again would you mind doing a traceroute (tracert) on computerhope.com and mrhope.com.

I did finally manage to get a ping timeout on mrhope.com which is handling the DNS. As of right now IT is saying nothing is wrong with the DNS information.

Also email notifications are very slow and often duplicated.

    Today at 16.00hrs GMT I could not get onto this site. Got "Network Timeout" message. Just now at 19.27hrs GMT no problem.

    I've merged two threads discussing the same thing into this one thread so I can keep track of everything easier and so something said isn't said by multiple users. Myself and IT have done some additional fixes and tweaks to help with everything.  Hopefully what has been done will help resolve everything.

    If you do encounter this issue again after this post I'd appreciate it if you could help me in resolving this issue by providing a traceroute (tracert) of computerhope.com, by doing the following.

    Quote
    Start / Run / type: command <press enter>
    Type: tracert computerhope.com
    Copy and paste the results into this thread

    This should provide you with output like the below example. If you're not comfortable posting this data to the forum (which really is not a concern for the public to see) you can PM the data.

      a site that has been around for so long won't just die in a day or two.

      In Britain, advertisements for investment products such as stock funds have by law to include the words "Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Results". Applies to lots of other things too.

      The site has been great the past few days.

      Whatever you did Nathan, it worked.

      Haven't encountered any problems.

      Thanks guys that's good news. I think it may have been the requests a second was too low on Apache which is why it was random, or appeared to be random. I increased from 256/s to 512/s. :)
