Service Interruption

Stranger and stranger. I was using the same laptop, same browser and same location (different telephone line obviously). No matter for me given that I have an alternative ISP, but its a shame for those that are experiencing issues.

However, I have a second ISP - Nildram - which I used today and I experienced all of the issues that other members mention. I could only access the site using 74.55.49.18 (i.e. not babeshows.co.uk) and was unable to login at all. 90% of the pages I accessed were presented in the awkward simple view (i.e. the regular style sheet wasn't applied).

As I've finished typing this I've just remembered that Nildram is owned by Tiscali.

Just to update you on my little problem ...

I used my Mac laptop at work today and tried logging on to the site - it didn't work in either Windows or Mac (I have Windows installed on the Mac).

I had the same problems as your Nildram problems, Skateguy.

The ISP is Spitfire - sounds like a front end for a larger player but I've no idea who.

Anyway, I've just got home and fired up the Mac again - in Windows I can access the site fine but in any Mac browser it's still awful - the simple version of the site when using the IP address and the error 404 site when using the domain address. The ISP at home is Virgin.

I also tried changing the DNS servers on the router to Open DNS but it made no difference. I might try changing the DNS server settings on the Mac itself and see if that helps.

What a palaver! I blame the Chatback 'Reproducers' - it's bound to be their fault!

Whenever I've used OpenDNS in the past I've just changed it in the System Preferences on the Mac - so hopefully that'll work for you.

i'm using virgin net and its all hunky dory on win xp, vista and windows 7.

This is the first time I've been on the forum since the move took place. I haven't had any problems or noticed any difference, except that the forum's a bit faster now than it was before.

The link to the forum from http://www.babechannels.co.uk has today been updated to read http://www.babeshows.co.uk

Hopefully this won't lock anyone out of the forum, as even the slowest ISPs ought to have updated their DNS records by now.

Only just seen it, as my bookmark takes me straight into site.
At least it was a royalty free pic that I used for my avatar, so the site wont be getting sued.
I have had a few pms from members asking me who it is. I dont know. I found it with google on a site with thousands of different pics of eyes. I just chose one that looked as if it was watching.
