Allan Bennett Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Anyone else having problems accessing the site, or specific pages last night (9/12/09)? About 9:00pm I logged in okay and went to the heli forum. I composed a reply to a thread, but when I went to post it I got an "unable to access this page ..." error message after a while. I carried on browsing another web site in another browser window and, from time to time, went back to modelflying to try and submit my reply. At about 9:45 I think it was, I was successful in submitting my reply, but when the screen refreshed I saw that my previous half-dozen attempts had also been successful, despite the browser's error messages. I then tried to edit all but one of my replies, to delete them, but access became impossible again after I'd managed to edit a couple of them. This morning I logged in, and find there's no "edit this post" option against my posts, so I can't edit the remaining duplicates. The two I did edit last night have both disappeared.

Allan Bennett Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Glad I'm not the only one ... I hope they sort it out soon The site in general seems to be working a bit better this morning. But I've still got no "edit post" option against my duplicated posts -- nor against my original post in this thread. Most (maybe all) of my older posts still have an "edit post" option Edit: But there is an "edit post" option against this post now.

Bruce Richards Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yes I have made David aware of the problems this morning and they seem to be sorted now. Not sure exactly what the problem was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bennett Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Thanks, Bruce and David. My duplicated posts in the heli thread have now been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 There may still be a problem today also. I had no access to anything last night for around 5 hours, and David cannot access anything but the home page today. There is a major problem with a big internet server in the london area - we hope all will be fixed by later this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 ahh, that's better. Yes sorry folks, as Tim says problems with a server somewhere but all seems normal now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytilbroke Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 A little while ago I posted that this now seems normal. I spoke too soon. the site is still slow and my post DISSAPEARED. So this one is by way of a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Ok, more info is now at hand following yesterdays problems at LINX........ The London Internet Exchange Ltd or LINX is a large London based switch system for internet service providers (ISP) etc, one being our web site hosting company, so this is just not effect us but other parts of the UK. ‘LINX are still reporting that they have ongoing problems and do not know when these will be resolved. For this reason we have started disabling all peering via LINX and traffic will be rerouted via other connections. This should resolve any outstanding problems with traffic flow via LINX, but this process will take some time to complete. We cannot just switch off a connection like LINX without ensuring that the traffic is properly handled, or there will be negative effects for all clients. Once this process is complete, we will provide further updates.’ Just so you know, looks like some problems may remain although I have to say that everything seems fine today.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Funny isn't it. The internet, like most invisible infra-structure, you don't even think about it - until it doesn't work! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Fisher Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 This has solved my anx when things went awry while i was trying to folow a thread. Repeated attempts to reconnect came to nought so I switched off and went back to listening to the radio. Forget now what I wanted to say last night...
