It is with me as well...It seems in the afternoon around 3:30pm, I cannot get on.

Like the others I have no problem getting the other sites I frequent.

I was thinking maybe traffic on this site increases at that time of day...

BR, fischer

As with many others... It appears to me that time a day is a problem. If I'm away from the forums for a bit (still online), and eventually time out. When I try to log back in... the website fails to appear?? after numerous attempts, and clearing history and caches... I'm still unsuccessful

Not a biggie though.

me too ..and I can't get on the board with IE either at all at the moment ...however if I 'search' for ww2f via google I can always get in via the "Cached pages" that appear on the search results ...

Even Firefox doesn't work for me all the time, but if I can't get through, I usually wait a few minutes and I also manage to get back after a short while.

It looks like it's a DNS problem with some ISP, try using an alternative DNS server like opendns.

I talked with Otto tonight. He has been in discussion with the hosting company. The problem has been identified and now they are working on a solution for it. It may take several days to sort it out.

TiredOldSoldier · #35 (**permalink**) September 27th, 2009, 07:14 AM

I support the DNS theory, I'm not having an trouble since I edited my hosts file but as soon as I remove the ww2f entry from it it begins again.
The site has been "eating" my posts since a couple of days, wonder if anybody else had the same problem (and if this will get posted :-) ).

Thanks for the info Slip....I'll be glad to use a pc again..The keyboards bigger...Then again I'm on a friends pc now without problem....Whoops....

formerjughead · #37 (**permalink**) September 28th, 2009, 03:48 PM

How many of you that are having problems getting on are running the "AVG Toolbar" or another Anti Virus tool bar?

You only do that as there is a Anne Summers shop you can pop in to...to pick up your fluffy knickers order.

sniper1946 · #41 (**permalink**) September 28th, 2009, 06:54 PM

no issues at all,have always gone straight in,ray..

tjalinho · #42 (**permalink**) November 1st, 2009, 02:13 PM

Been having the same problems the last few weeks. Even today I had problems connecting to the site. Tried other browsers (Firefox, Chrome), clearing cache, flushing dns.

Now I made an entry for ww2f.com in my hosts file and it seems to work from the first try.

Richie B · #43 (**permalink**) November 1st, 2009, 07:48 PM

Constant problems for me - roughly 75 % of attempts are abortive.

Tried on IE and Firefox, various PCs and laptops, different firewalls etc etc - nothing made a difference.

Very odd - seems to be the onl site where I have this problem.

C'est la vie

T. A. Gardner · #44 (**permalink**) November 1st, 2009, 08:08 PM

I've tried a number of variations but, it seems locally that I can only manage to regularly, and easily, get in between about 6 am and 2 pm daily. Every now and then I can manage to get in at other times but, some of these prove abortive after intially getting the board.
Yesterday for example I got on just before two. But, when I tried posting a reply to a thread it kicked me off entirely and I lost the reply in the process. Weird.

tjalinho · #45 (**permalink**) November 2nd, 2009, 10:04 AM

It seems to be DNS related. I used the following link as a how to edit hosts file: How do I change my hosts file? Or, how can I see my domain before DNS changes propagate?

I put the following line in the file:

75.127.98.38 www.ww2f.com

I was having the exact same issues as you guys, but the solution I described earlier seems to have fixed it.

Devilsadvocate · #46 (**permalink**) November 12th, 2009, 04:50 AM

I'm STILL having problems accessing the Forum.

It seems to be time related; I can get on late in the evening like after midnight and sometimes early in the morning, but during the day it's usually impossible.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox and have tried all of the remedies suggested, but it doesn't seem to have had any effect,

rockyneck · #47 (**permalink**) November 12th, 2009, 08:08 AM

I am a brand-new member and for the life of me I cannot find where to post my query!!! Can anyone help???????

Same here....most of last week I couldn't get on. I'm resigned to it now - if I can't get on, I just leave it......

mikebatzel · #49 (**permalink**) November 12th, 2009, 02:47 PM

All the problems listed here I have with ww2talk, but not here. Anyone else have that problem?

spotter · #50 (**permalink**) November 12th, 2009, 08:22 PM

I have the same problems both here and on ww2talk for a long time now,pain in the butt when your wanting to follow a post as i sometimes have to wait a few days untill i get on again,,but the plus side is when i do get on theirs lots of new posts to look through.
