TomnTex Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 This makes twice that I am aware in about three days that the forum has been down. Are we being hacked, or is it just a screwup in the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willingtocope Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Not hacked. Still working the bugs out.....after all,"new and improved" usually means "not quite ready for prime time". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torden Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I don't know about a previous outage, but TODAY I saw TWO outages in close time proximity that involved the entire hosting provider that provides the domain name servers for the creditinfocenter.com domain. Since I had not saved the IP address for www.creditinfocenter.com and could not look it up, I did not know if the site itself was down. Now that I can look it up, I see that it is in a different place on the net. The web server hosting this forum may well have been up all the time and wondering why no one was visiting.

admin Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 We had a power outage last week. Not aware of any other time the board went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torden Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 The provider handling the domain name servers went down for a while yesterday. Their whole network was down, but as far as I can see, CIC is only using that network for the DNS. What people would get was an error that it could not find www.creditinfocenter.com or creditinfocenter.com, depending on what data their own DNS caching server had cached. The board system and software itself would have been up and not logged any errors. There could be a gap of usage in the logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
