Was the forum down?

Hi,
Earlier today I could not get here. Was the board down? Checked it at one of those sites where you can see whether you are not the only one; I wasn't the only one. Happy to see it is back now!
I think that I will add the IP adress again to my HOSTS file, in case it is/was a DNS issue.
Thanks!

 

Yeah, it was weird, it was out for me and others I spoke to on other forums, yet not for all.

 

Down for me as well. Message pertained to DNS not resolving.
I checked downforeveryone.com and they said it was just me, yet I could not get here.
I performed a simple ipconfig /flushdns and then the site was accessible.

 

It was shown as down here also :-

http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/

It's a useful site ( I hadn't heard of downforeveryone.com before ).

 

Yes, I kept getting that.

 

Yup same issue. Glad it's back up and running.

 

Is that an easy thing to do?

 

If you're still using Ubuntu, just do:

Code:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Then add:

104.236.97.180 wilderssecurity.com
104.236.97.180 www.wilderssecurity.com

My file looks like this:

Code:

#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
::1             localhost.localdomain   localhost

# End of file

104.236.97.180   wilderssecurity.com
104.236.97.180   www.wilderssecurity.com

 

Thanks friends!

I had just also posted the lines for the HOSTS file in :
