You'll be back within 10 minutes... guaranteed!!! ;)

Have to admit, I did press 'refresh' quite a few times and when it didn't work I did have a momentary feeling of 'what do I do now'? Got the lawn mowed and restocked the van.. well chuffed!
 
I also couldn't access until about 30 minutes ago. Usually when I have problems it's one of the international backbones that's down like SeaCom but this time I ran a few traceroutes direct and via VPN and it was definitely a UK broadband problem plus it was persistent across every route I tried so it was a major issue. Latency was running into minutes instead of miliseconds as it normally should be. Things are still a bit slow and page load times are still unstable so I suspect they've bypassed the problem route and are probably still fixing the actual fault. On the forum software side everything is as per normal.

Thought you were stuck in a cave

Also is that the forums attempt at an apology for the disruption, caused too all the poor men on here who have had to endure their wives and girlfriends, because we didn't know what else to do

Nah they let you out at closing time lol. Its been good getting away from the forum today, been down a cave, drove on the Tour de France route (2nd stage) near snake pass, nice lunch and all I get is people texting me asking about the forum lol! Just shows how addictive these forums can be, and we are grown men not teenagers on facebonk etc.

Luckily I've been babysitting my 3 year old grandson most of the day so the chance of a proper, sensible conversation was pretty good.
We (I) built a bridge out of newspaper and sellotape

The string between your pc and the server had a knot in it somewhere lol.

Bassically when he says he tested the latency its similar to an earth loop.

Should be getting a value under say 500ms but insteas he was getting minutes


Seemed to me to be a dns issue, I tried through 3 dns servers and it was like the site didnt exist (I didnt leave cmd running long enoigh to let it ping for mins)

I even tried using my vpn as well so it was a little odd
 
Bloody seen it all now a Geordie complaining about the way someone speaks:sifone:

My apologies sir, I just thought if you had reached the level of sticking paper together, it would make you a prime candidate
 
And on again
