Please don't post problems relating to the last couple of hours, a database issue caused by a server crash meant we had some unexpected downtime.

This is happening right now, not in the past, the database problems are still there!

Lot of problems this end the past few weeks, site slow in loading and off line a few times.
I have high speed ADSL.

G'day Neil,

Up until yesterday i have had no problems, but last night at about 6.00 I could not log onto any wbsite with the URL containing woodworkforums. All other websites, such as Ubeaut, etc were ok. My browser (IE7) just went to the default "could not connect to this webpage" page. This lasted for about 30 mins till 6.30 when I gave up. I currently run ADSL 2.

The server fell over for a while.

Lots of problems on MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and Safari via ADSL with all updates issued by Apple:

loading - display line highlights "http://v" (where the v signifies half of the first w in www) and then hangs. Sometimes times out, other times still hanging after approx five minutes. Problem does not occur with any other website.

images in messages - can't see these even though other posters report that they can.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Slow load, 21/01/2011, 1.08am.
Slow load on search, around 1 minute, but results came up fine.

Very slow load after hitting post reply button

bottom left of screen said 'waiting for cdn.woodworkingforums.com'

I eventually gave up as nothing happenng whilst I got a coffee - this was about 3.15pmI have ISDN connection

I eventually left the forum. couldn't get back in. Just tried again now and ok

Pages hanging today (21st) whilst looking at the Friday fred.
It took 15mins to get the page to reload. Other websites were working fine at the time.

multiple Page not Available errors for about the past 20 minutes. Looks like the problems aren't fully resolved yet.

ajw.

timed out twice.7.30pm.
Running with Firefox ,Chrome and Opera (all latest updates) on Intel pentium dual cpu Windows Vista Premium. Upload speed 1.4mb/sec -D/l speed 2.5mb/sec

I've had the same problem as Shedhand, except at about 7.20pm. Continuous time outs, but I gave up at around 7.30pm, got back on at 7.40

Cheers

I'm currently having a problem with the pages not loading. No error message it just sits there trying to load. I have two pc's and both are doing the same thing. If I use a poxy server it works fine. I'm with optus. It looks like a DNS problem to me(but then I dont know much). If is doesnt clear soon I'll try changing from the optus DNS

p.s. Working fine again at 11:12pm. Not so sure it was a dns problem.
