Did anybody have difficulties accessing the site for a while this morning?

[Noel]

Was the site down for a few hours this morning?

 

Or it could just have been local to me due to eircom's DNS servers getting dizzy for a while.

[Warbonnet]

The site was indeed down for a period this morning but Boskonay sorted it all out. All back To normal now!

[BosKonay]

It was?

[Broithe]

I never noticed anything - and, if any changes are happening, is there any chance of something better than 'normality'...?

[Noel]

It was?

 

It was off from this end from about 07:30 until sometime after 12:00, but as I said it could have been a local name server issue on parts of the eircom network, so other members may have had full access.

[aclass007]

I tried logging on about 15 minutes ago (13:15) and the site was down. But, everything seems fine now

[BosKonay]

It was?Looks like an Eircom issue - the server and site have been up throughout, and relatively normal traffic levels...

I had trouble logging in on the phone using 3G this morning... O2 network.

[Noel]

Yes it seems an eircom issue. I can't access it for the past while using eircom, but fine using a hotspot off vodafone.

[enniscorthyman]

I couldn't log in around 13.00, I

persumed a new main spring in

the server again:o

[Noel]

Strange thing though is on the eircom connection all other web sites were working fine when IRM was timing out.

[Jimbo325ci]

Couldn't access it for the last 20 mins or so....

[billyboy]

There's a worldwide problem with DNS so some sites are timing out. Fixed now I'm told but servers worldwide are catching up.

[BosKonay]

All should be stable from now on (fingers crossed!)

[Broithe]

Having smugly said that I'd had no problem at all, it vanished for me at 2200 hours last night, and was still gone at midnight - back now, obviously.

Same here, but I didn't wait till midnight, close too it though, but I could not log out, so I went to bed, been having problems over past few days, seem's ok now

It was definitely not a local problem yesterday. Had to email BK to let him know. Working well today though

[burnthebox]

Anybody else on here finding they are suddenly " not logged in " even though they have already logged in. !!!!

[GSR 800]

Not really. the problem for me is i cant log out!

Well I have to say that's a different one !!!

I get that a lot and have to relog in.

[Noel]

I get that a lot and have to relog in.

 

Only on my iPhone when it's using the mobile template. There is a problem with cookie retention. It never remembers I've logged in, but fine on Mac or iPad.

[burnthebox]

As far as I'm concerned it's not fussy, as it dos'nt like either my Ipad or my PC, & not at the same time Another point is this text box is nearly bigger than the whole tread,

[Broithe]

I'm using a desktop PC with Chrome via Vista and I have no real problems on this site, if that is of any interest to the techy boys.

[BosKonay]

Interesting... in theory the site will only 'forget' you if you change IP address.... perhaps some of you are on mobile operators or ISP's that change IP's about a little too often...

 

I've 'move to vBulletin 5 suite' on my todo for a while now, will try to set aside some time and sheckels to make it happen

I think in VB the 'remember me' module can be configured to use IP+Cookies or just Cookies. The later makes more sense for mobile internet. Other catches are subdomain names and the cookie store (e.g. mobile.domain.com v http://www.domain.com v domain.com all different cookies)
