PROBLEMS GETTING ONLINE FOR MN?

8 replies

annhathaway · 25/11/2013 09:47

Since yesterday when I've typed in the URL for MN it's come up as 'site not found' for 50% of the time I try to access the site. Is anyone else finding this? It's coming up as if I've made a typo in the URl and offering me a list of suggested sites- including the right one!!!- but clicking on the link doesn't work either. Not having any problems with any other sites just MN.

Hi annhathaway,

Apologies for this. Tech have been doing some work over the weekend but it should be sorted now.

Please do shout if you keep having issues.

But seriously, sorry we've been having these issues since yesterday. We are still working on a couple of things, but will try to keep any further shutdowns to the overnight period. A couple of things happened today that we had to deal with immediately unfortunately.

On a more serious note, I think we may be emerging from the more densely wooded area. Sorry about today's problems. Something happened that made something break, but because we'd just done a big change over the weekend, we figured initially the break must be a result of the big change. But it wasn't. So it took a while longer than normal to fix as we had to figure that out first.

Hi lougle, the "stylesheet" that tells your browser what colours to use, how to draw the boxes etc, comes from a different machine from the main page. We share the load among a few machines. So it can happen that your request for the stylesheet fails, though your main request succeeds. So you can get a page that has no styling. It should only happen very occasionally (well it should happen never really but things go wrong, networks are unreliable etc.) Do let us know if it looks like it's happening again though. Thanks.

@gamerchick

I keep getting a flashing banner ad when I use active topics redirecting me to an app for an Asian dating site Hmm

Gamerchick- if you see it again, could you let me know the exact wording on it? I'm guessing you saw it when on a mobile? It would be great if you could send us a screen shot to the normal contactus address but I know this can be difficult on some phones.

Thanks for reporting.
