Any problems with downsizer?

Just a bit of feedback - over the last day or two downsizer has periodically been unavailable (unable to find site) for anything between 20 secs or two to 3 mins. It then fixes itself
I have checked and during that time i have been able to browse wide variety of other sites with no repeat of the problem that only seems to affect downsizer
it might be something in the bigger internet

but if anyone else has had the same might be worth Jema investigating

There appears to be a problem with DNS.

Thanks for reminding me.

All those nameservers should have the right records and have been like that for years.

I did see some issues myself yesterday, but thought it was just my local lan being a pain.

Just wondering...several times today there have been no postings for a very long time, half an hour or more. There seems to be many people on line. Have people experienced problems with postings?
Slim

haven't had much to say personally.... Laughing

Been having similar probs with other sites/forums.

I've noticed some rather slow patches of the last couple of days and also a weird problem where the "new posts" colour doesn't go away from some threads even when I've read the latest post. For some reason it's dpack and Tahir who seem to leave a "live" post even though I've read it. ( does that make sense?)
dpack

spose trees are live posts
Simon

Not noticed any problems / delays here

Yes, I've seen a few places being slow.
RichardW

I,ve had quite a few sites fail to load repeatedly & untill I "flushdns" they would not work.

c:\>ipconfig /flushdns

It clears the local DNS cache and can solve some web site connection problems. Doesn't hurt to do it if your PC has been running for some while, left of standby for a day or more for instance.

it'd doing it again today,

anyone know why the new posts flag doesn't go from some threads even after I've read the latest post?

Originaly it was with just one or two specific people, this morning it's a random selection
sean

That's usually a cookies thing. If you clear 'em from your 'puter it should all go back to normal.
ros

no, I tried that - doesn't make any difference
sean

Dunno then.
jema

Cookies can be pretty random and the new post flagging system which uses cookies is pretty abysmal.
