Can't get on AIBU?

I keep getting the message that was on yesterday when the site was down.

Yes me too, I can access all the site apart from AIBU, it's just telling me site is down when I click on it.

AuntieStella · 22/09/2015 13:12

It's working OK for me.

But it got me thinking. What if AIBU was down? What would MN be like if people used the topics rather more?

WhetherOrNot · 22/09/2015 13:23

It's not working for me either.

DoreenLethal · 22/09/2015 13:25

Try clicking through an old history link

Bremusa · 22/09/2015 13:27

Ok I've cleared my cache as advised on another thread and it's working for me now.

MythicalKings · 22/09/2015 13:37

Cleared cookies and deleted history, still can't get into active.

BeccaMumsnet · 22/09/2015 17:26

Hi MythicalKings - are you using Firefox?

Ellle · 22/09/2015 18:53

The same thing is happening to me, but with a different topic (Primary Education).
I also keep getting the message that was on yesterday when the site was down.

I am using Firefox. What can I do to correct this?

I tried opening that topic using Google Chrome and it was absolutely fine.

stripytees · 22/09/2015 19:07

I have that issue with _Chat. I can see threads there when I click through from Active but can't get to it otherwise.

DoreenLethal · 22/09/2015 19:09

I have to say it is patchy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and if you go straight to MN from my bookmark it goes to last night's page.

Very odd.

MythicalKings · 22/09/2015 19:45

IE, Becca. Still the same.

ToadsJustFellFromTheSky · 22/09/2015 20:58

Try clearing your caches.

I was having the same problem this morning. Clearing my caches fixed it.

Blackswanlake · 22/09/2015 21:26

Can't get AIBU or Active at all. Using chrome on i-pad .

MythicalKings · 23/09/2015 07:55

Cleared cache several times. Still get error message on "active".

FarFromAnyRoad · 23/09/2015 09:01

Me too Mythical Sad. Cleared cache, cleared cookies, many restarts - don't think there's anything left to try.

MaltaVestrit · 23/09/2015 09:10

how do you 'clear cache' or 'cookies'? I cant get onto AIBU either.

OhGoveUckYourself · 23/09/2015 09:33

I can get onto AIBU but not Chat. I have cleared cookies/browsing history and tried to get into Chat in various ways but keep getting the temporary message. I am using Windows 10 on a laptop.

FarFromAnyRoad · 23/09/2015 10:21

What brower are you using Malta?

FarFromAnyRoad · 23/09/2015 10:21

Browser ffs Grin

MaltaVestrit · 23/09/2015 13:27

is internet explorer my browser? (honestly its a miracle I can turn the computer on by myself!)

FarFromAnyRoad · 23/09/2015 14:14

Grin - Probably! In which case have a look here and hopefully that will talk you through it

MaltaVestrit · 23/09/2015 17:37

deleted the history and restarted and still cant get AIBU. I'm feeling lost without my AIBU fix!!

Ellle · 23/09/2015 18:47

That is so strange. I can get to AIBU and Chat, but not to Primary Education, which was the one I used the most.

I cleared the cache on my browser (Firefox) but didn't make a difference.

The only way I'm able to go to Primary Education without getting the "Mumsnet is currently unavailable" message is by using a different browser (Google Chrome).

SpreadYourHappiness · 23/09/2015 19:06

I'm having the same problem - get the 'temporarily unavailable' page when trying to access AIBU? Everywhere else is fine.

I only browse on my iPod though so my browser is Safari. Not even sure if it's possible to clear a cache on an iPod!

I hope it gets fixed, I browse AIBU? every morning and evening via iPod only!

MaltaVestrit · 23/09/2015 19:22

interesting ellle as AIBU is the one I'm on most frequently and that's the one I cant access.

MNHQ - any ideas??
