Site down?

Lately in the evening hours here I've been unable to access the forums on brewerfan and lambeau leap. Wondering if it's jsut me or if others having the same issues.

There have been periodic access issues all over Yuku. The problem you're describing is characterized by server error pages and has been happening off and on for a couple of weeks. I've been experiencing them since Friday.

 

Also, there've been greater than usual issues with IE (especially when posting Flash), access issues specific to AOL, and busted chats.

Adam, after taking another look at this, the "day-night" issue has to do with which provider you're using. It appears that you post from school during the day. Your home provider would be on the list of troublemakers.

 

According to Yuku, most of the general access issues have gone away. It was necessary to wait for each problematic provider to flush its DNS.

 

I've never heard an explanation like that before, and I've never seen a "wait for the provider" solution on other sites. Can anyone comment about that? Are we being fed a line of doggie dung?

Whenever I have to flush DNS it's because I'm switching from a static IP to DHCP and vice versa. In this case I would guess it could be that they migrated to a different public address range, but it would seem whatever changes Yuku made would be at the heart of the matter, not a particular ISP.

 

I don't specialize in telecom/internet by any means so I'm unsure if providers are required to flush their DNS on a regular basis or not.
