Last week or so cannot access site very easily, been trying all day today and finally got on, but must have tried 30 times before that!! Anybody else having same problems, cleared all cookies etc from internet tools but still didnt work straight away!!
Cheers Rich..

no problems here

If your wireless you may need to reset it (turn off for 10secs & then back on for most)

Defrag & clear disc

Other than that & ya need somebody more into pc's which definitely isn't me

Yep its been a problem since the site was updated bat sorted mine out but ive just got new hard drive so am having trouble again now

I'd say the site is offline as much as it's online for me. And that's using two different computers and also on my iphone on wifi or 3g.

Very frustrating.

Same here!! 2 different laptops, same problem!! Really annoying, this is the first time ive got on since friday ish..

I had shed loads of grief over this and it turned out to be something to do with those muppets at Orange

I gave them a proper talking to eventually and they gave me two new DNS addresses or something, result, problem solved

Now moving off orange too

yes, the issue is DNS, if you add GOOGLES dns servers to your network settings for example, problem solved, the issue appears to be with Orange (and some other providers) dns servers not updating...

I am having problems too, but the above might as well be in computer speak as far as I am concerned, can you talk me through it, Rick, ps it is not that I am computer shy ( I started with a Vic 20) but my short term memory has gone dns.sme,ddn, I have lost track completely so by the time I look up all this stuff I have forgotten what I was looking it up for.

Only time I ever have problems is from my phone but I've put that down to poor signal and poor net access full stop with Voda.

no problem Rick, tell you what ill do, illpost up a guide for adding the dns sites of Google. It may not solve the issue like for some (depends whch dns servers they used), but for everyone ive added the GOOGLE dns servers for, its worked, so we can give it a bash, its harmless, and easily un done!

ill post it up tonight!

Had the same problem towards the end of last week. It does happen from time to time that I can't get on to the site and I could be using landline broadband or wireless.
