Has anyone else noticed the forum's frequent relapses, in which it gets rid of all posts posted after the 11th, and then, several hours later, returns to normal?

[Xkeeper]

I haven't, but then again, look how active I am...

Make sure your cache settings aren't interfering.

[ninja kitten]

i'm fine with it glitching just as long as the posts keep coming back. i seriously thought about leaving when we lost those two weeks at the beginning of the year.

[Splash]

It's seriously annoying. I couldn't post at all last night, and it gave me a big fright when the site told me that all the topics were deleted. It's worse than having random downtime.
Plus it signs me off when it happens. :\
Has the problem been looked into?

[Veteran]

Trying to bring this to teh Khuff's attention before he leaves for the North Pole. I've not noticed a problem though, but then I am on a different time.

EDIT: Khuff says for some reason your ISPs are still pointing to the old server. He's done something that ought to sort it out.

heh. messed up ISPs. *loves the power of college server*

[Splash]

Huh, weird. Funny how this happened right when I came home for the holidays, then.

[Twinrova]

This happened to me yesterday. D:

[ninja kitten]

it's spreading... like a disease!! *hides under bed*

[Quistis]

This has happened to me a few times. I made a post about it yesterday, but it didn't show up.

[Khuffie]

I just wanted to say that if people are still experiencing these issues I'd like them to do the following

open up the command prompt in windows
type "ping www.legendsalliance.com", jot down the ip
type "ping forums.legendsalliance.com", jot down the ip

let me know what the ips are in this thread.

This is...odd.

[Delphi]

Do you have to be in a specific directory when you do this or just from whatever comes up when you launch the command prompt? Just curious.

[Steel Samurai]

It should work directly from the command prompt.

[Steel Samurai]

Double post. Yay.

[Khuffie]

what about the one for forums.legendsalliance.com?

[Toan]

For the record, as I know there are a few Mac users on LA, the same syntax applies for the Terminal as Windows' command prompt in this instance.

So, "ping www.legendsalliance.com" and "ping forums.legendsalliance.com" will work in the Terminal, found under the Utilities folder in Applications.

[Showsni]

So, you go Start - Run - Type it in, press enter, yes? But the window that appears closes itself too quickly for me to take note of what it says.

[Steel Samurai]

what about the one for forums.legendsalliance.com?

By the time I had that copied, the forum was back up; those numbers might be reflecting the actual server rather than the ghost, I'm not sure. Sometime's it's quick, sometimes not.

[Steel Samurai]

Bingo.

that's strange... my bookmarked forums.legendsalliance.com doesn't do that. you've got one funky computer.

Erm, when you ping, just type "forums.legendsalliance.com". No "http://"

And Showsni, in the Run prompt, type "cmd", then type the ping command in the command prompt that pops up and you should be able to see it

[Steel Samurai]

Oh. My bad.

Were you experiencing the time machine effect then? Because according to the IPs, you were going to the right server...unlike when I got Vet to do it when he was experiencing wonkiness...

...this is fishy. Anyone experiencing this?

[Steel Samurai]

It's possible that by the time I'd pinged it'd gone back to normalcy; as soon as I saw that it was warping I opened up the command prompt and pinged both sites, but by the time I finished it was back to normal. It's odd. Sometimes it'll stay like that for hours, sometimes seconds.

[Steel Samurai]

An' again. This time I got a time out on forums.legendsalliance

Vet, once again having been snapped back through time by some indescribable monstrosity who apparently wears red heels said to post this:


ping forums.legendsalliance.com = 64.191.87.30

ping legendsalliance.com = 66.96.217.149

[Toan]

I'm trapped in the past on my MacBook... I'm posting this from my iPhone.

I pinged LA : IP is 64.191.87.30

[Khuffie]

Problem should be fixed.

If it happens again, I will go into the future, kidnap your babies and eat them for supper.
