Site access issues? 404 errors?

Don't know who else is having issues, but I was having a really hard time getting to the site this afternoon. As in, no access at all, with page error messages (404 not found) popping up. Nothing from ATS would load. Not a net issue, because everything else was fine. For no reason I could detect, the issue simply vanished.

I did, at one point, check a site that tests websites to see if they are down, and while their test worked, they did state that some had reported having issues. Hope this isn't anything serious, or some new attack or something! It's working for me now, but wanted to let it be known, in case this was a sign of some problem tht needed checking.

Me too, had issues on Chrome for awhile...started about maybe 5pm or a little before...

No problems on IE though...

Yes, I experienced a brief "not on this server" episode, so I assumed another DDOS.

Same here.

yeah I checked online too, said the site was down

Yep me too..

www.isitdownrightnow.com... is always a good site to check.


Server was down for about half hour.

You can see my foul mouthed complaint in the comments section.
And Randy taking the piss out of me.

Same problems here but either blank pages loaded or 403 forbidden.

Maybe Saudi Arabia hired hackers to retaliate for the bad press?

According to that site it has been down on and off all day. Is it odd though to lose your short cut on your desktop? I didn't really lose it but it did change and doesn't take me to this site anymore..................its working again.

We're experiencing another DDoS attack. Mitigation took some time to kick-in. All is well now.

Yep. I had problems myself about 5:30PM EST. When I tried to go to myATS, my browser was trying to follow: "http://www.abovetopsecret.com/OaSLK/myats.php" I don't know where the "OaSLK came from. That's not standard. This also happened with another link I was trying to follow in viewing a thread.

I'm using a very old computer that can barely run Chrome, so I figured it was on my end. Glad to see I'm not the only one who had problems.

Was unable to log in at 5:25. Gave up after a bit but happy to see all is well now

From my end a weird DDos attack, pages loading without text, or sometimes just the caps in sentences, reams of ad loading??

Never actually off-line though?

Well, looks like I am not alone, then! Hopefully, this won't be an ongoing problem! Nothing for me since about 5:35-ish, CST. Using Firefox for the record, if that matters.

I was thinking it seemed like an attack. Glad to hear it's cleared up!

I laughed when I saw your comment, I couldn't post a response since that would have reaveled my not so secret real name..
