    Forum Downtime?

    Hi there guys. i dont know whether anyone else is experiencing it, but at times, the whole site seems to go down, i can never access it, sometimes its for 1 minute, sometimes for 30 minutes! I dont know whether it is the hosting or what, theres no real pattern to it either :/

    Hi Jordan,
    Im finding the same problem. The same thing happened a few months back also. I find the main page will come up as usual, the first time i try to access
    the forum, sometimes i get instant success and other times it takes minutes to arrive. Its quite erratic at times. Other sites are perfect, i didnt want to hassle Matt before because of his troubles. Hope they can sort it out as at times ive just given up. You see im addicted, just joking.

    I can't say I've noticed any problems lately either.

    Re: Forum Downtime?

    I too, recently found difficulty in accessing the site and had short term lockouts followed by a complete ban. After much dialogue with Matt, it would seem that I had collected a trojan which was trying to do naughty things to Matts server, hence my IP address was "disliked"

    I resolved the trojan by reloading an image of my C drive to a date that preceded the trojan. However, a futher potential issue has recently come to light, when I updated Zonealarm Pro to the latest version - again, I was temporarily locked out. It would appear that there may be some clash between the Zonealarm toolbar (which checks for dubious sites) and the Mycockpit server response. I need to do some more research - when I feel brave enough to face reloading a drive image.

    In the interim I offer this bit of Zonealarm info, in case there may be similar cirumstances with others

    Hi David,
    Thats interesting because goin backa few months i had the same problem, they reckon i was attacking Mycockpit, i did nothing to my computer and contacted Matt who took my IP address of the banned list and since i have not had trouble to get access to the site but still have problems with the Forum
    access after the first attempt.

    Re: Forum Downtime?

    I get it timing out at least once a week. Seems to last 15 - 20 minutes when it does happen. Only seems to happen from work, don't think I have run into it from home at all yet. Always occurs when I am at a forum page and click on the Back button, never during anything else. Dumping the window and starting over doesn't help, remains timed out for several attempts / minutes.

    Hi John,
    Thats when i seem to have problems, when using the back button. It seems better if you accesss the posts from the list of latest posts.
    My usual operation is to logon to site goto forums and new posts. Accessing the first post is fine and then operating the back button, it can sometimes take minutes to give me the list again. Any other site using the back button causes no problems.
