Thread: Problems getting to the site - anyone else?

I've had to go via ArRSE to get here (click on families tabs and it brings me straight to Rear Party) when I try to view Rear Party using RearParty - Home. Just thought I'd see if anyone else has had trouble (I cleared my cookies, CTRL+F5d it etc. and it happened loads yesterday)

The message I got was

host 217.146.102.214 and a blank page (using Firefox, all updated etc.)

I had to delete my bookmarked tag for the page and it still doesn't work.

Anyone else had trouble?

Heya! I don't think mine is the same problem, but quite often I can't get on bcos a message says - 'sorry the server is too busy'. It's really annoying! xx

I've had that too, CG!

I've also had that message- clearly we all have too much to say!!

A few days ago I could not get on to the site at all, then it said the server was busy for a day or so. Then when I tried replying to threads I was getting the same server was busy message.

I did have probs on Monday, said server busy, and quite often on Tapatalk on my phone I have probs. I put that down to phone probs though. Although who knows!

I've been getting the server busy message for a while. BB suggested it may have been Skodafone internet but I'm on O2. It seems to have settled down now though. Not sure if that's because I'm now using firefox as I'm on a new laptop or whether it's just coincidence.

I too get the 'server is busy' message quite often, but instead of making myself busy I just sit and press refresh and get annoyed!

Yup, I had that for hours yesterday and the day before. Anyone let the COs know this is happening?

Thanks to everyone for the heads up and yes we are aware! In order to run all these websites we need more than one server which is not at simple as it sounds. It has become clear that we're approaching the upper limits of what the current set up can achieve so we've been trying to change the way it is done. Unfortunately this hasn't been as simple as we'd hoped which is why there has been disruption both to the main server and the way searches are done.

Hope that makes sense! Pse bear with us and we hope that soon(ish) we'll have all the sites running much more smoothly (& quickly!)

No worries - just pointing it out in case you hadn't seen (as no one had said anything I was getting concerned I'd been banned or something )

No worries BadCO (total misnomer as you're actually rather nice)

the adress loads but then the page is blank.....have to load it 3-4 times begore i see the frontpage........'tis me isn't it??

I'm on Vista and IE8 and I had to change the 'compatibility view' for the page to load.

ditto above! I thought work had finally blocked RP for a minute. Phew!

Same here -I thought school had cottoned on to what I spend my time doing!!

I can't get onto RP via www.rearparty.co.uk but if i go via the forum or blog link, I can get in. The home page just shows up as a blank white page.
