Title: Problems accessing bitcointalk
Post by: bitbunnny on October 31, 2016, 08:15:35 AM
In the last few days I have problems with accessing this forum, both on my laptop and mobile phone. I get the message that the response time is ti long and webpage can't be reached. And this happens no matter if I'm on my provider network or wi-fi.  Half of the day the page is unaccessible.
Does anyone else have similar problems?

yes, i have the exact same problem here (Western europe)... So my guess it's a server side problem (altough it's only an educated guess)

So I'm not the only one. I'm also in Europe. First I thought that the problem is with my provider but it doesn't work on any wi-fi either. Hope they will fix it soon.

Same here in EU, been really bad over the weekend, it seems to be a bit better now but still taking a long time to load up.

This is second time today that I managed to connect but the connection lasts only for a few minutes and then is gone again for hours. This is terrible and realy annoying. And it disturbs my signature campaign.
If they are DDOSed this may take a while.

I had the same problem, then I realize it's up to DNS server setup.

I changed to OpenDNS servers and forum was back.

No need to change dns since admin say yesterday

I changed something which may block the UDP flood. We'll see.

Email is probably broken again for most people. Note that the email is being sent, but your email provider is blocking it -- whenever I change IP addresses, I have to take a bunch of steps to make the IP look more "clean" for email purposes. I will fix this in a few days.

He blocks the udp flood that can affect our browsing so i think right now its temporary fix that is why we can browse normally this forum..

1. Create your own thread
2. Only Theymos or Cyrus will be able to help you (or maybe badbear). It's only admins that can help you recover an account and they're all very busy so it'll take time.

First, you have to calm down! :)

I suggest you to open new thread with informations about where you can not login, and why.

This thread was made at the moment when everyone have problems with connection to Bitcointalk.
