It's probably going to be down to some rogue network setting then. It's the only site I had any problems with, and using adblocker clearly fixed the problem. I could access the site with my iPod, so it's specifically going to be down to the flash ads on the edge of the screen. Oh well, I hope it clears up with the next wave of adverts, I've no problem with ad funded sites, and I'll only adblock like this when it's the only way of accessing the site. mescalineeyes on "Couldn't Access The Site For The Past 2 Days" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=564#post-7440 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:18:28 +0000 mescalineeyes 7440@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ 10.6.1 here as well with Safari, 64 bit. are you sure it's your OS? :S Robo_1 on "Couldn't Access The Site For The Past 2 Days" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=564#post-7439 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:28:34 +0000 Robo_1 7439@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ Now we all know Pat lives on press releases and thin air alone. ;) Which version are you running? That it happened on all the mac browsers makes me think it could be an issue with the OS, I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.1). In fact I've just tried to ping the site, and got 100 percent packet loss: <blockquote> Ping has started… PING <a href="http://www.vg247.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.vg247.com</a> (94.198.82.15): 56 data bytes Request timeout for icmp_seq 0 Request timeout for icmp_seq 1 Request timeout for icmp_seq 2 Request timeout for icmp_seq 3 Request timeout for icmp_seq 4 Request timeout for icmp_seq 5 Request timeout for icmp_seq 6 Request timeout for icmp_seq 7 Request timeout for icmp_seq 8 --- <a href="http://www.vg247.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.vg247.com</a> ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss </blockquote> So something is clearly not right. mescalineeyes on "Couldn't Access The Site For The Past 2 Days" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=564#post-7433 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:37:22 +0000 mescalineeyes 7433@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ works for me on Safari, no adblock.

I'll raise it. Robo_1 on "Couldn't Access The Site For The Past 2 Days" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=564#post-7427 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:34:08 +0000 Robo_1 7427@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ Just wondering if I'm alone in this? For the past 2 days, I've only been able to access the sites RSS feed, as soon as I click on the site, it hangs on Safari, Firefox & Opera (all Mac). Anyway, I've just re-installed ADBlock for Safari, and low and behold, I can access the site again. Maybe worth dropping a report to the people who provide these adds.
