    Well, as I mentioned in the RB thread, I have been having delays while trying to access the BoM main page as well as several other sub-forums. I know that Aces and DotW have also been experencing this delay too.

    I have a 1.5Mbps connection, and the BoM takes up to 2 ore more minutes to fully load, and sometimes I get the 'MSN could not find the page you were looking for' error screen. Help us Tal! We cannot survive long without the BoM working properly! :cry:

    Anyone else having troubles? :rolling:

    I got dial-up so it wasn't just a delay for me.
    It was the old can't find page error for me all day until just a bit ago.

    It's the same here, it takes about a minute to fully load everything. But this is happening since yesterday night to me.

    There was some more traffic on the site yesterday that caused a bit of a slowdown, but not even remotely anything like what you describe. Things are running completely smoothly for me now, and the server's running just fine. If it was people in remotely the same location it could have been a localized issue, but I can't think of anything that would cause people on different continents to have the same issues, except for trouble on the actual server - but at the time this thread has been made originally, the server is usually under the lightest load of the day, so I can't imagine what could have been the issue. Right now, everything is running just fine.

    Next time if anyone is experiencing these issues, fire me a mail (not PM) and I'll check it out as soon as I read your mail.

    Huh. I blamed my cr*p computer and the modem going blinky. Since power-cycling (big word for me) the modem seems to solve the cannot find page issue, I didn't think much of it.

    Huh...now it's working just fine. I don't know what was going on last night. It couldn't have been my computer/connection, because I was surfing to other sites around the same time and had not ptoblems with them.

    I'm at a loss here. But it's working just fine now...so I'm all warm and fuzzy in side once again. :rolleyes :rolling:

    BoM crapped out on me day-before-yesterday. But I blamed my dial-up.

    First thing this morning I had the "page cannot be found" error on my work PC but now is working fine, I haven't had a problem on my home network yet though.

    EDIT: all other sites I tried to reach ESPN and the BBC were fine at that time
