is armormama having some problems? Ive been havinga hard time getting on here lately..even now..its been very slow

Yes, it has been slow for me too.

same thing here...

Yep, sure is slow.....
can take a nap between page loadings.
or work on a model.

Same here. Yesterday I kept getting an error accessing the Kitmaker main page, had to find a back route through armorama to get in. Hopefully back to normal again soon!

Yip, Same here.

I painted half a figure between my last post but, sometimes i cannot even get on the site at all!

can anyone shed some light on the situation?

Hi

I've just managed to get connected after many many attempts. I thought it was my computer and did a system restore to no avail. Started happening yesterday, I mostly get an error message which if I remember correctly says "No data found. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again."

If I do manage to connect it takes ages for pages to load.

Clearly with others having the same issues it sounds like you have some problems. Hope everything is backed up, and things are restored to normal as soon as possible.

Alan

I got heaps of modelling done today. We should have down time more often.

Hi

Touch wood, it now appears back to almost normal. Certainly page loads although initial connection still took a while.

Alan

Yes I apologize. I have made some changes to make the gallery run better and I think they are leading to some instability. Obviously the settings will have to go back to the way they were and the gallery will have to deal with it's issues and not bring down the whole site in the process.

Thanks for your patience.

Jim

Thanks for the update Jim !!
I thought my iBook was having touch of that Conflicker worm.

Glad you found the problem, ,I was having a hell of a time loging on yesterday. Be cool, milvehfan

Ditto for the last two days.

Was worrying about my "fix."

All's well now it appears. Whew!

Mike

Thanks for the update on the iusse jim , but this is happen with other site's as well ! Not just kitmaker .

When will the Gallery be back up ?

Probably in a few hours.

Jim

I have had troubles connecting here for last couple days too and even today. I keep getting error message, that my link to Armorama ain´t working..

Still some insatbility I guess, Saturday was hell trying to get on, Sunday was fine now today, I keep getting broken link messages for Armorama, but the cool thing is I am on now... hope its fixed now. And Yes Chas the down time on here did give me some quality build time... milvehfan

Yes it would appear we are getting hit by some kind of DOS attack. Our hosting company is looking at the issue and is promising some kind of imminent action to squelch them.

Jim

how can i help to fight back against this enemy called DOS jim.ive got an air pistol and some elastic bands.Please just say when and where and ill take DOS on.Who bloody hell does DOS think he is..............

My sentiments exactly Neil......I've got some paper clips to go with those rubber bands.......

amazing how much I can take this site for granted..dont relaize how much I like coming here until Im cut off!

I've had trouble sending PMs, too.

Hi all! I just ried to look at a photo feature and got this:


Error connecting to dbkitmaker_maindb
Program: /home/kitmaker/public_html/mainfile2.php - Line N.: 56
Database: kitmaker_maindb
Error (2002) :

And the site seemed pretty slow so far today.

Hope the above info helps.

Cheers,
Jan

I ended up taking the day off from work to deal with this issue. It's one that has been a pesky problem for a few years now but hasn't reared it's head for a while. We are getting pounded by Chinese IP addresses (site downloaders probably). Anyways their IP addresses are being gathered and banned as I write this.

Sorry for the outages.
