PPRuNe slowing down?
Compared to many other sites I visit, of late PPRuNe seems to have slowed right down. Several times it has timed out and failed to load. Is the site under maintenance or something, or do I have a problem?

I understand that IB are (or were) experiencing some kind of attack on their network, affecting most or all of the sites they own / host / manage.
So no, you are not alone!

Actually, it's all down to 411A!
Since 411A departed this mortal coil, the whole PPRuNe community has been overloading the system to read his thread! 
(Absolutely no disrespect intended! It's just that it has taken me two days to read the entire thread and post! This must have been the only forum where I never saw him post - which doesn't exactly surprise me!

There appears to be an intermittent access problem this evening though.

Server problem for PPRuNe
Its been messing about for about a week now....maybe a bit more.
Started off with no access to "Search",then mis-directions,when "Search" would actually accept a query but send you off somewhere else,then an Advert instead of Search,then no access at all to anything and today for about 4 hours simply not available (official wording as per usual wording etc)...Hope it gets fixed soon.....I would think that someone`s having a go at sorting it.

Server problem for PPRuNe
Hmmm......tried both Explorer and Firefox 4 and then even Opera and also tried doing the Cookie and Browser clearing thing but no better.....mind you,in the BVI anything goes.Maybe it will clear up later all by itself.That`s how we fix stuff here....just relax and all will be well in due course!Try it,it works!

Glad I read this. Bad for at least a week.
I tend to pop into the den every break from DIY etc., so see it several times a day. Very variable.
I'm on FF 3.6.16 and use CCleaner regularly.

Folks, there have been multiple IP flood / DDOS attacks against IB's network over the last week, not specifically targeted at PPRuNe, but it's just as affected as all their other sites.
Different people in different parts of the world have been more or less affected, depending on what IP address ranges IB have had to block, temporarily.
On top of that there was a problem with the Search engine, now fixed.
There's not a lot we can do (apart from hoping that the attackers get tired / IB find out how to prevent or mitigate the problem), and Mods and Admins are just as affected as you, the members / guests using the forums.

Server problem for PPRuNe
Thanks for the note from someone else in Tortola,BVI.
We are in West End and using CCT.We have had other issues but the PPRuNe has been very poor here.The Webmaster kindly wrote to say that there had been a massive problem somewhere (US) with someone who supplies part of the "works" to this Site and that that issue was now under control.
Now pleased to see that the search section is also up and running as it should.
Just a glitch I guess.CCT have also done something to our AXESSTEL router and maybe that has helped.
Cheers all.

I was in Canada last week and unable to access Pprune most of the time, from my own laptop on various wifi networks, and from from a friend's home. Back in UK for a few days, all seems to be working now.
