What Happened To DU This Afternoon?

[Dinger]

Couldn't get to the boards. . .
Hmmm, what'd I miss?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. I had the same problem

for about half an hour. I would go away and come back. I could always get the home page, but then couldn't go from there.

[Dinger]

3. Yup, Same As Me (nt)

[kaygore]

2. I had the same problem and it continued for quite some time.

[mntleo2]

4. Yeah It Happened To Me Too...

...until I rebooted and then everything was fine. Either it was coincidence that DU fixed things while I was rebooting, or perhaps something was set wrong on my computer and I was not able to get on.

[Dinger]

6. Rebooting Didn't work For Me (nt)

[BuyingThyme]

5. Is there a place where this stuff is posted. THIS STUFF being

explanations for the down times, etc.

[etherealtruth]

7. Still happening for me n/t

[Roland99]

8. The FSM zapped the boards

He was getting fed up with being left out of the Atheist/Christian flamewars.

9. Me too!!!! n/t

10. BOOKMARK this link

http://upload.democraticunderground.com/discuss/
It gets you into DU another way when regular DU is down (given out by admin a couple times ago) You cannot click on the links at the top of the page as they take you to regular DU, but you can navigate around otherwise.

11. Thanks uppityperson : ) (nt)

[Triana]

12. same problem here...

...seems to be intermittently unavailable.

:shrug:

[Radio_Guy]

13. Cyberhacking?

Michelle Malkin's website claims cyberjihadis attacking political blogs reportedly originate from Saudi Arabia.

Take it for what it's worth, but it is most assuredly the work of freepers. I don't see any reich wing sites having problems, including the copycat underground site.

[stop the bleeding]

14. same here :( n/t

[mliddell78]

15. Yeah

Me too

[dipsydoodle]

16. Main thing is

it's back:-)

[Steve55]

17. I was unable to access Forums or Login

So I deleted cookies and it worked after that.

[myrna minx]

18. Welcome to DU, Steve55

:hi: Yikes. I'm addicted to DU. I started to panic when I couldn't get back on. :scared:

[Debau2005]

23. Me too!!

I had changed my internet settings, so I thought it was me! I changed them back, and now I am on. Maybe coincidence.

[senseandsensibility]

19. I kept getting the error message

and couldn't post!

[TahitiNut]

20. It seems to be a sporadic problem today.

Periods of inaccessability (with short periods of access in between) have been going on for 4-5 hours, it seems. It looks like 'maintenance' to me, but nothing has been announced. :shrug:

21. One Of The Internets Tripped A Breaker. -NT-

[LiberalPartisan]

22. No problems for me

Depending upon where you are it's possible a portion of the network is down or being rerouted which could lead to spotty service and timeouts.
