just u dodgy modem maybe, no probs with my link and fantastic speed as well.

Not seeing anything here - not even a slew of database error emails sent to me.

Try closing your browser, then open a new window and access Techwatch with that.

There were some small DNS changes made to get the site in order a couple of days ago - they should have impacted almost immediately, but it's possible either your browser or ISP is still trying to call up TW from the older DNS records.

looking through this section u seem to have a lot of probs with everything, so i assume its ur end and not this end dude.

river rat, I'm wondering if this may be browser plugin related? The previous error suggested you may have potential caching issues - do you have third party plugins installed in your browser at all, and have you tried disabling some?

There was a Firefox update this week, so if that's what you're running, there may be a software conflict inherent in one of the plugins in the new FF version.

use google chrome works a treat never get any errors.

River-Rat · 26-03-10, 05:38 PM

well was a one off, after that was ok, i even tried from diff modem in other room, so i think maybe of been a downtime on server for a ms

yes brian now on 3.6.2 and was doing it ie as well.

i would not moan or say anything if i thought was me as 20 years in pcs, computers and web sites as well as a ipb using. so i thought was maybe database issules your end

but since i posted was ok after that maybe 3 mins after, no issules at all

brian · 26-03-10, 09:00 PM

No probs - always happy to receive reports of possible errors.

alboking_uk · 26-03-10, 09:09 PM

had the same error today as well using firefox

brian · 29-03-10, 01:44 PM

Apologies for all the issues over the past hour or so - tried to set up a back up of the TW database, but this ended up causing big load issues with the server and had to reboot it.

Will leave the back up until later tonight when it's quieter!
