It could be BooTrib under hostile ... (none / 1)

... attack ... AFAIR, EuroTrib still shares servers, and BooTrib will obviously be one of the targets in the ongoing war to keep them damn libruls from telling people stuff, and stuff.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

Re: It could be BooTrib under hostile ... (none / 1)

I don't know if this is related, but hopefully someone here can help. Currently i have zero trouble accessing ET through Safari, but i cannot get in to the site with Firefox. Since last evening. I've checked everything i know how to check, i've restarted several times, i've cleared the cache in Firefox. Haven't yet reset permissions, don't know if that has any effect. Hilfe?

No problems with Firefox for me.

What error message do you get?

I get no error message, Firefox just sits there and spins. Same time, no problem whatsoever other sites in Firefox, and no problem reaching here with Safari. Last evening i did get some strange error messages.

Hm. The IP address changed. Maybe your firefox is caching it strangely. Give it a day or two to see if it recovers, assuming using Safari isn't a problem for you.

Safari is fine, though of course without TribExt. But shouldn't i be able to reach the new IP address anyway, especially as i've just cleared the cache twice?

I'd have thought so, but maybe there's something funny happening - I've seen ISPs screw with timeouts on such things.

If this is a clue, i was just able to get in. before i went anywhere on ET i clicked to Booman, and got in fine. but can't get back to ET now.

After I said the above, I then had a half hour ... (none / 1)

... random trouble getting into various sites with Firefox on Windows downstairs ... but when I moved upstairs, no problems with Firefox (well, technically Iceweasel) on Linux.

So, not a clue. Maybe one of those random internet storms, delaying traffic, and the time-out defaults are set differently for IE and Firefox.
