I could not access WxForum earlier this evening. Anyone else have problems?
It seemed like a DNS lookup problem.
Any other error messages? Post them here if you remember what they were.
I used issup.me and doj.me and they both reported wxforum.net to be down.

Yes, same here except I got a Firefox msg. saying  "Timed out" and "Server not available" or something along those lines. Looks like all is o.k. now.

Must have been a DNS issue .. the server logs show 'hits' during that interval, so some accesses were working.

It was about 4:30 to 5:30 PM ET here for me, something about 'servers'.

Same here... I got the dreaded 'server has timed out' message between 5 and 7PM yesterday. This is the first time I can view it since then.

I did a quick check of the access.log for the period and found we were getting 'hits' to the website at fairly customary rates:

so there was likely a DNS disturbance causing the access issue.

Edit.. replaced analysis with updated copy.
