Anyone?

When i type the url, or go to a favourites, or go via google, it takes ages for SCN to come up, and sometimes says "page cannot be displayed".

This is on 5 PC's I have access to - work PC's, home PC's, mates PC etc.

Other VB forums running fine - only SCN. And not all the time?

Anyone? or is it just my account being downgraded to "banned" bit by bit?
Lol

they do need the practise though as i can still whoop their asses :)

sounds like a problem we used to have, turned out to be a few vbulletin scripts that we turned off and the problems stopped :)


that's kinda just common sense though. if you load up the server doing 'stuff' all the while it has to work hard

there was a load spike at ~9-10pm last night, but it shouldn't have caused any major issues with the server speed.

If it's timing out - I'd guess that's DNS issues (I don't trust my ISP's!) I tend to use Pipex DNS's

They were last time I checked... sometimes my local DNS won't locate google/bbc etc - so I copy the DNS across & bob's your uncle

Nope, we have very few hacks on SCN - but that's not one of them [though I have thought about it!]

My office has a high-speed net. con. and it was taking a while to load pages and post replies around 5:00pm yesterday. I had a similar issue going on when I tried use SCN.net forums from home.
