Default Outage this morning

Good afternoon

Firstly, apologies for the outage experienced this morning where everyone received the blocked IP message regardless of who their ISP or what their IP.

I'd like to say that I know what caused it but I don't.

What fixed it, after a lot of attempts, was clearing the user group and forum cache.

Cheers
Russ

I thought you guys had blocked all of Asia as I tried all the usual servers in Asia and got nada.

Wouldn't have been surprised by a move like that to be honest... but after connecting via Sydney and failed to connect to AFF I realised you guys must have had a problem on your end.

Hope the fix holds.

Thanks again AFF team.

Unit 2? I'm not far away from the UCR as I'm on the 4th floor, too. So you have no excuses

1, 2 & 4 this round (covering regulars' leave). Well in that case we've probably bumped in to each other before. My next weekday-day shift is next Monday, on 2. Might catch you then

It was Chuck Norris. He saw that thread in the Bar and just had to look at the screen and think 'That's BS'.

A retraction will ensure it never happens again.

No - the issue has been resolved. Not sure why you are seeing that message. Send me a screen shot to the admin address and I'll have a look.

Seems to be resolved now, may have been something to do with my web browser as it is fixed now that I have done an update.

Thanks
