One more question

August 12, 2008 1:15 PM

I had a problem. Now, it's happening all over again. Would it be bad form to bother the green for a second time?

I thought I'd solved the problem by changing the MTU. Several months on, the site is refusing to load yet again but, this time, no amount of MTU changes has helped.

Despite that, the problem has resurfaced in the exact same shape and form: same website, same traceroute results...

Should I repost to the fp? ...or should I post to the question thread?

It's fine to post another question. If I were you I'd try posting to the original thread first, I'm not sure if recent comments will grab it. But yeah a follow-up question esp if you're clear that you've tried the advice in the original thread (and be specific) is okay.

I'm not sure if recent comments will grab it.

Is the recent activity page limited somehow?

the site is simply not responding.

It will, even 364 days out.

It will, even 364 days out.

And a happy day it was, when this change was implemented!
Colour coded backgrounds in recent activity would still be really cool!

Also greatly in favor of the 364 day change, which makes things like this more efficient.
Either way works, but this way all the original history is right there, and those who worked on it the first time are likely to see it again this way, and that's the subset most likely to know something about the problem.

So through this I discovered downforeveryoneorjustme.com

I decided to test it, so I chose a nice fake domain that could not possibly exist: monkeybutt.org.

Surprise, surprise:

It's just you. monkeybutt.org is up.

Warning: it is what it sounds like it is.

I can't reach downforeveryoneorjustme.com
Is it just me?

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/downforeveryoneorjustme.com:

If you can see this page and still think we're down, it's just you.
