While I'm able to connect to http://forums.techpowerup.com just fine, I cannot access the front page, review section, downloads etc. Here is the traceroute:

working fine for me :eek:

have you recently updated/switched your browser or something? maybe a setting there :confused:

erocker · Jun 18, 2009

Naw, it was happening to me at work too. It started around 4:15pm CST.

Arrakis9 · Jun 18, 2009

me as well.. at work and here too

sneekypeet · Jun 18, 2009

same here, funny thing is, I can get here through email links, but if I use my Favorites link, it takes forever to load.

intel igent · Jun 18, 2009

i haven't had any issues at all with logging in throughout the day? maybe they are refreshing the site or something? :confused:

sneekypeet · Jun 18, 2009

most likely an issue with our local TPU server...Texas I think. My page isnt loading correctly yet either. Cold Storm in Florida was having the same issues as well.

It simply isnt on our end intel

Maybe a storm hit Texas?!?!?!

Mike0409 · Jun 18, 2009

I've been having issue's at work. From home I was fine tho.

temp02 · Jun 18, 2009

I too have been having issues for the last few days accessing TPU (insanely big loading times and interrupted connections), here is a trace route:

Same issue here, both at home and work.

If it helps, both connections are AT&T. I know our hosting company recently screwed something up that blocked their servers to all AT&T connections, but every other ISP was getting through.

Assassin48 · Jun 18, 2009

same here
i couldn't connect to tpu on
pc, ps3 , or itouch

EastCoasthandle · Jun 18, 2009

You may need to add the forums to your favorites in order to get to this website for now IMO.

CrackerJack · Jun 18, 2009

same here! i'm come from my favorites link, and it's soooo slow. half of the pictures doesn't even load, this goes for the threads also.

mlee49 · Jun 18, 2009

I saw some preformance time outs yesterday, but that was very brief and havnt seen anything like that again.

Maybe the server was refreshing?

NastyHabits · Jun 18, 2009

Down for me in Oakland, CA. Tracert only proves you can get to the server. It might be problems with the software on the server itself. Probably needs a reboot.

TheMailMan78 · Jun 18, 2009

Same here. The only way I can get to TPU is via Safari 3 on my old Apple laptop. My PC which is on the same network wont connect. I even downloaded Firefox out of curiosity and still no luck. I suspect Dan and his sheep concubines have something to do with this.

thebluebumblebee · Jun 18, 2009

count me in. I've been unable to connect for hours.

aCid888* · Jun 18, 2009

Down in Montreal....at least the forums work though

Soylent Joe · Jun 18, 2009

Time for TPU's annual tube cleanout. Just spray some scrubbin bubbles, wipe it off, shove a little tube lube up in there and it'll be good as new.

TheMailMan78 · Jun 18, 2009

Its amazing we all can't connect yet we are still posting. Our TPU addiction has become an hallucinogenic.

I'm thinking W1zz had to skip paying the bill this month to get Dan back from the local pimp. You know hooker debt.

Triprift · Jun 18, 2009

Im having the same prob will be saving to forums in favorites as a backup.

BUCK NASTY · Jun 18, 2009

Same problem here in Florida. Also could not connect thru company servers in New Jersey from work this afternoon.

A Cheese Danish · Jun 18, 2009

Seems to be working fine for me...?

Triprift · Jun 18, 2009

Seems to take forever to load pages fully as well for me have to keep pressing stop as its annoying how long its taking.
