Does the site keep going down or something?

Since yesterday I have had times where FIrefox "cannot establish a connection to Mumsnet" or times where I click on something and it times out as MN not responding. Help!

(Or is it something my DH has done to stop me being on here?????????????????????????)

Hi Buda, sorry, it's me. I had a couple of changes and fixes to put in, so got up early to do - to minimize the impact. It should be OK from now on.

Buda · 23/11/2007 06:30

Hrmph! Well ok then.

You can go back to bed now then!

brimfull · 23/11/2007 13:55

FAWKEOFFwiththetinsel · 23/11/2007 13:56

i thought it was just me because it's took me 15 minutes to access the site...i nearly had a look at netmums

LyraSilvertongue · 23/11/2007 13:57

Keeps crashing on me too. Very frustrating.

Camillathechicken · 23/11/2007 13:57

not crashing per se, it is timing out, something to do with the server?

PersonalClown · 23/11/2007 13:57

Crashes for me too occasionally. Twice yesterday and once today so far.

Elfsmummy · 23/11/2007 13:58

I thought it was just me - or DH trying to tell me something!

SlightlyMadScreachingSirens · 23/11/2007 13:59

Errr Friday afternoon is my pure me time...no-one else in the house (except a sleeping DD3)...just me and MN...and you have ruined it all today [sob] ...I havn't been able to get on since I got home at 1ish...

...I did read about someone on BMC buying childrens age 10 clothes for themselves though....

starfish2 · 23/11/2007 14:05

Still crashing for me...

Tech, I also have another (unrelated) question... I get Firefox (2.0.0.9 at the moment) consistently crashing when I access MN (Konqueror works just fine, BTW). I am using SuSE 10.0. Would that disappear when I upgrade it to SuSE 10.3??? Have you heard this before??? User error ?

DANCESwithHughJackman · 23/11/2007 14:06

Yep, I've had the same problem (timing out) a couple of times today too.

southeastastra · 23/11/2007 14:08

two big crashes in two days

Nip · 23/11/2007 14:08

yes i'm finding this too!!!

I'm the only person in the office and have 2 hours to waste do loads of work, and thought i'd spend it on MN... but no... it keeps going down on me! (hhmm that doesnt come out quite right!)

MegaLegs · 23/11/2007 14:09

Not just me then.

BoysAreLikeReindeer · 23/11/2007 14:09

Timed me out twice this afternoon, server not responding, or somesuch message

MerlinsBeard · 23/11/2007 14:14

rachel(mumsnet) · 23/11/2007 14:14

we're having problems our end too. Tech not about at this moment but we'll alert him to this thread on his return.

southeastastra · 23/11/2007 14:15

i did have a snooze, which was nice.

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 23/11/2007 14:15

Me too. Three times in the last few days. Just managed to get back on.

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 23/11/2007 14:16

It's not early now Tech.. it's Prime Time Mumsnetting! Get thee back here immediately!

southeastastra · 23/11/2007 14:16

someone yesterday suggested it was the phone ad.

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 23/11/2007 14:17

And had to go on Babyworld FGS!!! And now my eyes have gone funny because of all the tickers and I feel sick from all the "huns"!!

harleyd · 23/11/2007 14:19

BoysAreLikeReindeer · 23/11/2007 14:20

C'mere Shiny, sit in the corner and I'll hold your hand until you can see straight again.
