Allotments 4 All

Gave Dan a shout when the forum went down but he doesn't seem to have been around so wonder if it was a problem wherever it's hosted.

Nice to see you back. 

Thought it was just me!

Glad it wasn't just me ;).

Me too

I too thought that it was just me.

Have a few friends on Facebook from A4A who could confirm the problem was with the site. :)

A couple of years back it used to regularly go down.

When a website isn't responding, you can use this to check if it's down - just enter the URL:

Is it down for evderyone or is it just me

Message from Dan, he's not in the UK so we may have to be a little patient until he can fix it.

could'nt get you last night,was gutted,glad your all back.

 :'( :'( :'(

Sob! Was bereft last night...

phew  ;D

I did a ping and a  tracert on it, thats the sure-fire dang-nab-it no-fancy-stuff way to find out whats going on !!

Thanks for that it is very interesting

It was awful! - I had to go to bed without my A4All fix  :( :( :(. So glad we are all together again  ;D ;D ;D.

I juts did some digging. Why is the server hosted in Minneapolis ?? Thats makes us not only severely vulnerable to cross atlantic internet storms, but also means whoever is running is probably getting up and going to bed 8 hours after the rest of us.

Your not trying to tell me there no suitable hosting in the UK? I run a site hosted in the UK , supports phPBB and SQL, unlimited traffic, mailboxes, 100 databases, email support, £3.99 a month

*EDIT*

oh look: this is why:

look a tthe horizontal line COGENT where it crosses the vertical column SAVVIS. A red box. That indicates a net storm of some sort, exactly on the bit of the internet we use to get here.
