Re: phpbb3 technical issues
I'll just have to remember to jump around in a seperate tab, and leave this open.
Another note on logging in when I get here from http://209.62.36.118/~folding1/ (yes, today also). The first login puts my name at the bottom of the page, but still shows the default skin. If I log in again from there, it loads my preferences and comes up "normal". I can handle a couple extra steps. I'm just glad I have a way to get here when something doesn't want to play nice.

Re: phpbb3 technical issues
No neither have I. If you stick the IP address of foldingforum.org in your hosts file you'll never have any problems.

Re: phpbb3 technical issues
Sure, open up C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc in explorer and open the "hosts" file in notepad/wordpad.
Add the following line:
Note that if the IP address of foldingforum.org ever changes, you'll need to re-edit this file accordingly.
Add the following line:
Code: Select all
209.62.36.118 foldingforum.org

Put it in and it didn't help. I'm still not welcome at the front door.

Re: phpbb3 technical issues
Try rebooting the computer to see if that works "more betterer."

Re: phpbb3 technical issues
Before that post I did reboot. More sameness- at least it wasn't worser muchness. I did get in through the front door once today, but it didn't last, and it wasn't on the machine where I edited the host file.

Re: phpbb3 technical issues
For the record, I have been getting SQL errors and page not found errors trying to get at the forum. The page not found error is especially annoying when trying to post. Everything that was written goes in to the bit bucket!
Seems like it can't handle a few extra users the new GPU2 client is bringing to the site.

Re: phpbb3 technical issues
There's not many online people ... I think it used to be more on the old folding community
It might be a temporay outage with the server.

Re: phpbb3 technical issues
I wasn't able to access the site this morning (around the time 7im posted his response here). Pinging the server timed out as well. Other sites (I only checked Stanford's pages and the News page) were fast as usual.

Re: phpbb3 technical issues
I, too, had trouble with the board today.
Somewhere around 1:00PM EST, (GMT -4), while browsing new posts, the ability to connect was lost.
As anandhanju stated, connection to the other sites were very good, as usual.

Re: phpbb3 technical issues
It was down tonight around 8:30pm, i think it was definetly a network outage somewhere in the world. Maybe at the datacenter, or maybe somewhere on our side, but ping wouldnt resolve the site, and now it seems to be happy to.

Re: phpbb3 technical issues
Ah, this might explain it:
This is the final and and official SiteGround statement for the issues that occurred earlier today with your host server.
The issue itself relied beyond ours and our Data Center's authority. It was caused by a connectivity problem with one of the main upstream providers of our data center. We in cooperation with the data center\s top technicians however did our best to bring an alternative connection route in action as quickly as possible and make your website accessible again.
This operation was successfully completed by our technicians just minutes ago and the necessary reliability tests were performed and successfully passed. Currently no problems whatsoever are present in terms of server accessibility.
We would like to to thank you for your understanding during this short-term outage.
