Cannot access this page

[Del Murder]

Spuuky sent me an IM saying that he cannot access the forums. He gets a 'page cannot be displayed'. He says that it happens a lot at random times. Any clue what's going on or is he sol?

The IE error thingy for obscure errors? Probably his internet connection or browser then. If it was a forum problem, then he'd be seeing a forum error message most likely.

I agree, browser problem or problem with his own connection.

Does anyone who uses IE really even DESERVE to see the forums anyways?

*hides under a shrub*

One day, Unne is gonna move onto Windows users

Del: cl: The IE error thingy for obscure errors? Probably his internet connection or browser then. If it was a forum problem, then he'd be seeing a forum error message most likely.
Snuggles: Yeah, that doesn't really help me correct the error
Del: Unne agrees with him
Del: Then makes a comment on how IE sucks
Snuggles: Of course
Snuggles: Fine, I will try some inferior browser

He could also try pinging the server from a command prompt and see whether the server is reachable at that point in time or not - if not, then it's certain it's his connection

Then again, this could be our chance to finally get rid of Spuuky.

I admit it. This is my doing. I'm out to drive teh Joe insane.

Sounds like a connection issue more than anything. IE has never given me any problems with vB3, while it seems people using other browsers seem to have more trouble.

Does he go to any other vB3 forums, or any other forums at all? Does it still happen there?

K, I'll stop coming here then.

OK, since liek, EoFF had a server move or something, it only rarely worked for me. Usually I'd have to disconnect and reconnect a couple-a-times.

But now it doesn't work at all, since Freeserve became Wanadoo. The front site works, but the forums don't. Hell, the front site doesn't even work if I use firefox. Meh.

No EoFF for me. Liek, evar. Srsly. D00d, I might end up joining some crappy other forum :OOOOOOOOOO.

In other news, Spoon.

..hmm. This is an odd one. I'll ask him the same questions being asked here. I think this should be moved to Feedback (Help?), too. Any objections?

[crono_logical]

Move if you want

Ask him to ping www.eyesonff.com and forums.eyesonff.com from the command line and give us the output.

DanieLoony: try forums.eyesonff.com D=
Skykotik: Ew they all had group masturbation posts
Skykotik: OK wrong window xD
Skykotik: CLASSIC ;D
DanieLoony: x_x
Skykotik: (That was about tGA :P)
DanieLoony: oh yeah
DanieLoony: i know!
Skykotik: It won't let me copy and paste it, but it's both looking fine.
DanieLoony: hmmm, okay...
Skykotik: At the moment, the forums are working though.
Skykotik: When I tried earlier, it wouldn't give a response.
DanieLoony: *nods*
DanieLoony: yeah, you ain't alone, we might move the thread into feedback soon if it causes more trouble
DanieLoony: keep us up to date D=
Skykotik: Well, the same kinda thing happened with FFI, and Skwowwy said it was something to do with a hotlinking script.
DanieLoony: hm
DanieLoony: does he use vB3?
Skykotik: No, I don't think so.
DanieLoony: okay, thanks
DanieLoony: I'll let you know if they come up with solutions, you might want to chat to clout in teh meantime, otherwise I dunno :-(
Skykotik: Ok, thanks

Snuggles: Fine, I will try some inferior browser

As long as he's using it.

We should put a huge 500% font link at the top of the site and forums linking to the Firefox download page.

Oh yeah, and like I said, I tried Firefox (I don't know version, but it would be the latest one) and that didn't even load up eyesonff.com, as IE loads the frontsite OK, like I said.

Let me know if you want that to appear in 500% font.
