Forum problems today

[IRingTwyce]

Am I the only one having issues with the forum today? About 50% of the time when I click a link to a thread or a sub-forum, I get the following message:

No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

I haven't seen that at all today

I'm wondering if it might have something to do with my connection. I just had something similar happen on another forum I frequent.

I've never seen it do that.

25% of the time I log in, I get connection time-outs but that's it...

wouldn't that be your service provider? I get that every so often at work and if I hit refresh it normally loads right away.

never seen that issue, and connection time-outs have to do with your service provider or the ethernet/wireless card in your computer. i've fryed a couple of ethernet cards in my day, and whenver I do they have a hard time sending requests. Dont know why that is...

How do you 'fry' a NIC? If it was a NIC problem, it would 99% of the time affect 99% of the host's ingress/egress.

Strange, this is one of the few sites that loads no matter what. When our proxy server here at work is acting up, prompting us to login for every element twice or is blocking all request going out, CEG loads with no problem.

I've had a lightning surge come through the network router once. Fried the NICs on two PCs in the house.
Of course, once they were gone, there was no connection at all, not a "spotty" connection, as you mention.

I see that "No Thread Specified" message once in a while, but only on rare occasions.

I had a network card one day stop sending requests properly. it made browsing the web super slow and unreliable, changed out the card, all fixed.

That's cause he's sooo fast on the keyboard with his responses it just burns out them NIC cards like nothing!
