I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but 4/5 time the new thread button doesn't show. i thought i had been banned for a bit.

 

anyway, to what i was going to say before...

 

can anyone else connect to the chatroom? i've tried pidgin, xchat and (shudders) the java client on the boards. nothing is working.

it`s your side then, everything is working perfectly here.

Maybe your isp hates you

okay this is getting weirder. i can't access the forums from a direct connection. i got here by using tor. it also works if i ssh to my gf's box and connect from there. hmmm.....

 

gah connections have been crap since virgin media took over.

Saturday is a Peak time for internet traffic, could be that!

but the rest of the internet is fine. just this one single site.

What error do you get when connecting? Just a simple "could not connect"?

 

AFAIK no configuration has changed on this end. I don't even think IP bans would make the server refuse to allow you to connect.

 

I can also check the server logs if you can't find anything on your end.

nothing happened. no errors either. just sat there forever(longer than the usual connection timeout time). i left it for half an hour and nothing. it's working again now.
