The forums *are not* working 100%

[Si_the_geek]

Same here... we have a 10MB/sec connection to the internet (working for a big company has some benefits!), and at times I can't get through to this site... all pages time out for 5-10 minutes, yet other sites work fine :(

128k dialup isdn here and all other sites work okay.
And as definite proof, for the vbforums I put on a web-based e-mail address as my e-mail addy.
So I get the auto-notification, then try to click on the link, and nothing happens :rolleyes:

[Si_the_geek]

same here.. occasionally the message I get notification of doesn't appear for a few hours :rolleyes: ..and sometimes I don't get any notification at all, I just see in the recent threads that messages I have posted in have new replies :(

[plenderj]

Just a few minutes ago there I could not get onto any vbf pages.
I got a few auto-notifications in my webmail, and then I tried to view the threads but nothing was happening.
And as proof, I could ping www.vbforums.com and was getting good response times.
Here also are two traceroutes that worked while I could not view pages ;

I had awful trouble posting that above post!
Just kept doing nothing ...

[plenderj]

ARGGGGGGGG
For the past few minutes I couldn't get access to ****ing anything on the forums.
So annoying!

AIRGAJIRFJGFDG
And this post too.
Christ almighty this is annoying.

[NotLKH]

Ditto.

Seems to be momentarily awake now, but for a while there
I'd click a thread, watch the progress bar go a third up, stall, and go nowhere after that, until I clicked the link a second time.

:confused:

Peeps having problems with VBF.
A thread was started in chit-chat by SLH about this, with a link to here.

I dunno about any of you, but when I type in www.vbforums.com to my address bar, it turns into "209.120.143.185", which is not the IP of the forums.
So that appears everywhere "www.vbforums.com" should.

Here's a totaly different trace to that site :

VBforums is hosted on a 0catch.com server, correct?

[mendhak]

a wwhois check shows dn.net this is what I saw on their home page.

I got problems too. Many times the forum pages do not load, today especially so. Replies have to be retyped sometimes, as clicking Submit Reply lands me on some error page. Also the database is inaccessible once in a while.

:(

Seems obvious to me anyway that they were transferring VBF over to another host and obviously everything didn't go to plan :)

Again they are painfully annoying to navigate, pages taking ages to load, posts appearing one by one, and in between the process just gets stuck somewhere, as if not being able to decide if it should abort the download or continue with it :confused:

At least you people shoulda told us to expect problems if you were gonna fiddle around!!
