Problems Accessing the Forum

[Ian]

Hi All,

Over the last 24 hours or so some of you may have experienced problems accessing this forum. This is not limited to the Greyhoundhomer forum but affects many (if not all) Proboard forums. Some of the problems seem to have been solved for at least some users, however users of Sky broadband may still be having issues at time of writing this message. So if you know someone who's struggling, tell them to hang on in there, the guys that run proboards.com are working on it.

Rgds,
Mark

This message is for Sky Broadband users. Users using other ISPs wont be effected.

For whatever reason, Sky have been port blocking port 80 to Proboards.
This would stop Sky users from accessing any forum on Proboards.
At present Sky have lifted the block, but haven't given clear indication as to whether this is permanent.
Proboards have dual ported html access to all forums for interim period on port 8080

If Sky users find they can't access this forum at:
greyhoundhomer.proboards.com

Then please make a note of, and use the following:
greyhoundhomer.proboards.com:8080



Mark - you might want to send this to forum global email, as obviously those on Sky may not see this post

Sky & Proboards have sorted out their little tiff, so everything should now be back to normal.
Your Sky members should now be able to get back on the forum with the normal url: greyhoundhomer.proboards.com
