Forum Access Issues?
« on: December 12, 2017, 06:28:38 PM »
Could someone explain what's been going on for the past few days with the site being innacessible? For a while all Lead Adventure (shop and forum, though more often the forum) links go to the host's page with the error:

Error
This domain name has just been registered.

Eventually it resolves itself of course.

Doo, doo, doo. Scroll, scroll, scroll down the page and I find this:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=101522.0

I assume its the same issue, though you're now using a different host, or rather its being displayed differently?

Damn, time to shut down the Railway Wars board guys before it swamps the site with users! :D

Just had the same thing happen a few minutes ago. Afterwards the forum won't load at all but all you have to do is wait a few minutes and everything is back to normal.

Aye, waiting a few minutes has been up to an hour for me. I've not had it today, but its been at least twice a day recently. :/

Which I suppose is someone out there subtly saying, "quit  visiting this place so often dummy". ;)

I have noticed very slow page loading from time to time this last week. Sometimes site is not opening at all just giving a blank white screen although the page loading button indicates the page has loaded.
I get no error messages, just the blank screen.

Hmn, and I'm still experiencing slow load times and that same error screen. Not to be spammy, but is there clarification on this one out there?

Aye, seems to be getting worse. Unfortunately this is something that really only Alex can deal with I think, and he's away at the minute.

I been getting it a lot too, both on my home laptop and various PCs at work.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

I have a similar issue.
When I access the site, I'm often confronted with this.
Now this happens when I access the forum on a windows 10 phone.
It takes a couple of days to access the site and only when I use a link posted on another site.
What's more baffling is this appears randomly when I'm in the middle of using the forum ,simply changing topics,on even pages.can knock me off the forum and leave me unable to return to the forum.With out this page taking over.Its happening regularly enough for me to know that when the loading time slows down that I'm heading for this on my screen rather than the forum.

Any ideas?

Mark.

Apparently, it's a server issue. We are evaluating long-term solutions, but it may take until the New Year to properly resolve it.

Same here but getting a different page. Err This domain has just been registered or something. Happens indeed in the middle of a session when switching pages or topics.

I've modified some server settings, hope it is going to be a little bit better now.

As Chris mentioned, a long-term solution is being in work

Just so you're aware, it's still happening.

The issue's changed (on my end at least), from the error screen to very long "loading" web pages (i.e. a white screen with loading in the tab name). I say very long, as in indefinitely long where intermittently after a few minutes they may appear.

Internet you beautiful thing. :)
