Sorry for the inconvenience.

The board's been kinda flakey tonight.... Is there some issues we should know about?

In case it helps any, the problem I was having was not a login issue -- it was a timeout while waiting for the site to respond. I suspect the route got snarfled somewhere. It's working now (obviously), and if need be I can go back and tell you approximately (within about 15 minutes) when it began yesterday for at least two of us.

If a tracert log or anything of that nature would help in future, I'd be happy to assist.

I have two ISPs, the first TekSavvy (DSL) and the failover Rogers High-Speed Lite. If routing one the first fails, within five minutes, default route goes to the second - but the CNAME record still points to the first, so sessions would not survive. It could be that simply was a flaky night for TekSavvy.

Traceroute logs would be interesting - mail 'em to me (good instance and bad instance) if you wish.

I'll do that next time it dies -- and I'll check to see if I still have them (I think I do, or at least the relevant bits). However, the TekSavvy bit, I suspect, is the culprit. All the traceroutes I ran died with them, blackholed at "69-196-174-137.teksavvy.com [69.196.174.137]".

(I have the last bit handy since I posted it in another thread here; the full logs, I'm not sure on.)

I know we haven't seen an official "all is well now" announcement yet, but just in case, I'm having Login Woes again. I've cleared browser history, cache, and cookies. The problem is that, even when I check the box to automatically sign in each visit, it's making me log in every visit.

Me too. I sent a PM a while back, but he might be otherwise occupied.
