Does the site keep going down or something?

[Buda]

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?????????????????????????)

[Tech]

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]

Hrmph! Well ok then.

You can go back to bed now then!

tech.. still crashing from time to time....what;s to do?

[brimfull]

crashes on me too

[FAWKEOFFwiththetinsel]

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]

Keeps crashing on me too. Very frustrating.

[Camillathechicken]

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

[PersonalClown]

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

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

[SlightlyMadScreachingSirens]

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....

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]

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

two big crashes in two days

[Nip]

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]

Not just me then.

[BoysAreLikeReindeer]

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

[MerlinsBeard]

i have got this message lots today too...another firefox user here

[rachel(mumsnet)]

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]

i did have a snooze, which was nice.

[ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas]

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

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

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

[southeastastra]

someone yesterday suggested it was the phone ad.

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

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]

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