I agree very slow but reachable.... maybe correct guess about the ISP outbound slowing down everything but should affect more than only this forum...

Im also having abit of trouble today with this forum on chrome & dolpin hd.

I can get here but takes awhile and some times needs two refreshes.

Similar issue here. Chrome on android over t-mobile. Seems to work but some times gives a gateway time out message about not receiving a response from an up stream server

OK that's ruling out a transatlantic issue.

We're looking into it. :)

I was on last night, then all of a sudden, I couldn't connect. This is the first time I have been able to get on since then. Seems fine now... *touches wood*

Thanks for your replies folks.

I've been looking around at other sites and have had the 324 error come up a couple of times myself now. It comes up on Yahoo as well when using Chrome.

I suspect that there is an ISP peering issue going on in the UK at the moment, that would explain these browser timeouts. Peering is the mechanism that various ISP's use to connect their networks to other ISP's networks.

BT seems to be having problems ATM and as they are one of the major UK carriers that may be having a knock on effect throughout the network.

We're also looking into our own systems here. :)

Hi i hae the trouble getting to tje sit via bookmark or typing in the url but if i refresh once or twice all is fine on both dolphin or chrome al thought fast once i am here.:D

OK that's good. It tells me that it is not a database problem.

The front page for the site, with the over 18 warning, is outside of the forum, although within the domain, if that causes issues too then we are not dealing with a php error or database problem.

It's looking more and more like an intermittent ISP peering issue.

If that is the case and you can't access on a later visit, then just give it a few minutes and try again, you may have success with a different routing the next time.
