Did Apolyton experience problems recently?

Illuminatus · January 16, 2004, 14:48

Yesterday I tried several dozen attempts to go to Apolyton homepage but I was unable to load it. I think this was a problem with Apolyton since I was able to load every other page that was not Apolyton related.
This lasted for the remainder of the day. Were there some problems? Did anyone experience anything similar? I hope for some explanation.

I didn't have any problems all day yesterday...

I certainly did - it just couldn`t find Apolytons server. Perhaps it has something to do with me being in Croatia?

It was very slow the last couple of days (at certain times) other then that, no problems

Maybe that`s it since computer connections in Croatia are a bit more quicker than a snail carrying a steam locomotive on his back..
Thanks Alva.

i've noticed some slowdown today, but nothing to write home about...

No problems what so ever that last few days for me.

For the past few days I have found the site to be very slow. Instead of instant response, some page changes have taken two or more minutes. Curious....

I had a hard time submitting posts- took a long time.

All better today.

Hi obstructor.

I personally did not experience any access difficulties with Apolyton yesterday. As has perhaps been demonstrated by other responses in this thread to date, such experiences were localized that more likely than not indicate an access point drain at some other point between one's respective computer and Apolyton's.

I have noticed that the site is from time to time very slow, especially when I am editing a reply and then asking to save the changes.

Nikolai · January 17, 2004, 08:28

The site has been perfectly okay for me for a long time now.

Tamerlin: The editing thing there is a reason for. See a discussion on that topic either on the first or the second page of this part of the forum.

I've noticed a couple of times where a post didn't bump a thread in the last couple of days.

DSL in Australia has been having problems lately. Check to see what country you are in.

Again, tried posting, and after a long wait, got this:

Its been hard for me to get onto the site today also.

Earlier today I could go to all forums easily except all the civ3 ones, which were not displaying anything when the page opened. Had the same problem last night, but then it just seems to be alright again as if nothing happened.
