UK BOINC Team Forum

Hi all, not sure if its me or the forum but it takes for ever to log on to the forum? Tried the ".com" and ".org.uk" sites both the same, also can't get any of the code to work and smileys won't insert, will clear the cookies etc and try again?

Hi Mark,

There's been some minor service interruptions on the .org.uk URL today...nothing major, but have been losing connectivity intermittently.

Didn't think there was an issue with the .com as it's hosted on totally different servers.

I also know we've been monitoring the number of web-bots spidering the forum - this can eat into resources and so we're checking to see how we can become less popular with the various web-bots...

regards,

Tim

I can't log on from the "log on" link at the top of the page, but can from the link at the bottom of the main page - if you follow my meaning

Emoticons also have problems clicking on then on the left of the "post a reply" screen

Hi Tim, thanks for the info, John you are also correct in as much as the top "log on"  won't work for me but the lower one does.

OK, I think I know what the problem might be, but due to the log in problem, I can't fix it....coz I can't log into the admin section...!

So, for now, if you are having "logging in" problems, use the log in boxes at the bottom of the forum home page - the link at the top right doesn't work right now.

Have now upscaled this to Darren, and hopefully he can tweak it...

Let's keep our fingers crossed....!

The bottom log in box wasn't showing up last night and the top one didn't work, so I was forced to spend an evening UBT-less!

Emoticons still not working (I put these in manually ) and the ABC@Home graph isn't showing up. But at least I managed to log on today!

to make using the bottom login box "slightly" easier, try this link

All fixed again now.
The culpret knows who he is.....

A fix has been put into place to prevent this from being a major problem again. (hopefully)
