Has WAB been offline today?

I tried several times to access WAB this morning and over lunchtime but could not, despite being able to access other websites without any problems. I assumed WAB was offline. However, when I finally got onto WAB about half an hour ago I notice that there have been posts made throughout the day. Has WAB been offline at all?

Matt

Same with me. Tried the "refresh" button but nothing happened. Tried about 3pm and it was working again.

Re: Has WAB been offline today?

Yes and No. The site was still up, but the DNS Manager from our domain name registrar wasn't pointing to the right IP address following the server upgrade.

Some people were still able to access the site via some networks, but as the Internet updates networks around the world it dropped more and more of us offline. A quick change of some info in the DNS and we're connected again, but some people were probably unable to access for about 4+ hours

Re: Has WAB been offline today?

Heyup Pauline,

I've also been on all morning and had no problems at all to-day, yesterday was a different story for a while.

Looking at your previous post perhaps you're right about your PC being clogged up!

Re: Has WAB been offline today?

I just got a new computer. The first site I went to was WAB and nothing happened. I tried everything but nothing worked. The old computer was still able to connect but not the new. It is alright now :
The old PC must have known he correct location without having to go through the DNS thingy.

Re: Has WAB been offline today?

I haven't been able to access the site since thursday night, until now I haven't been able to get on and I'd tried over 20 times.
