Is It Just Me?

[i-love-my-sheep]

Is anyone else having issues with the forum tonight, or is it just me? I'm having trouble getting messages to load, I keep getting 'webpage not available'. It seems to be sporadic.

We had a direct lightning hit on Saturday and I thought it may have fried the router. I got it working again by replacing the phone cable between the router and the wall (the strike blew the surge protector board up.....literally). It seems to have been working fine since.

Tonight, every other page I look at is working fine, except these forums, so wasn't sure if it was just me having router issues, or whether it's a site issue.

all good here ILMS

It looks like someone else is having probs with pages just hanging in CS

Ebay has been slow to load pages since 1640 hours here and keeps dropping out. Another GLITCH we will no doubt be charged for.

I've had no issues with eBay itself, just the forums. I've even had a few sales tonight!!

As you may notice, the original message now seems to have posted twice. Maybe when I got the flood message it must have actually posted, even though I only pressed the button once. The duplicate message makes mention of the flood message I got. That probably explains it, this message got posted even though it didn't go through as such.

I'm trying to send a question to the forum and got the same error message.

Thank goodness! I didn't really want to have to buy a new router! I haven't has this one for that long.

Hopefully it will come good later. Being at work all day, I have a lot of messages to catch up on!!!

The forum is blardy awful right now. 😕 I reckon, if I'm lucky, I can get 1 page to load for every 10-15 times I try.

I'm going to do a celebratory dance if I can even get one of the posts I'm trying to make to actually post, then I'm outta here to go calm myself with less frustrating things, like

I actually meant to finish that sentence...  Saw my chance to post and I took it, forgetting that I didn't get the full post autosaved last time LOL (if the post autosaves, it will go up, if I get a red error saying "can't complete action", I'll lose it)

I can't get into a thread on desktop computer - pages time out - but no probs now on phone 🙂

I've had timeout errors here since around 1700 this afternoon, but only on the discussion boards. Other parts of eBay such as My eBay, etc., appear to be running at normal speed. These continuous site problems with eBay are getting really old and my patience is wearing very thin at the moment. I'm having to save every post before sending it in case it times out and I lose it. So far I've had to resend the same message several times and I'm really starting to wonder about the competence of eBay's techs. Or maybe they simply don't have sufficient infrastructure to handle the loads any more. Whatever the reason, I wish they'd get it sorted once and for all.
