Is it my browser or is the Orbiter Forum down?

No, it's broken.

Oh dear, it's a weekend, it could be hours before it gets fixed!

The day of the week seems to have no effect on how long it takes to get fixed. You just gotta wait 'til the m6 tech weenies
finish playing table football and actually realise they have customers. It could take some time.

Seriously, the server I was running at my older house had better efficiency then M6!

Wow! That sucks. I didn't realize it gets attacked like that. Should be illegal!

I've tried a couple of times, i thought it was my moniter or computer, but I guess by your posts it is down.

It seems that is really down. Today I was looking for some tutorials for going to mars and I thinked about searching in the
forum. But I couldn't enter

I hope it gets fixed soon.

The Orbiter main site is still working, and this page has links that you could look through:-

http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/sites.html

I haven't tried them, but I have seen others recommend these tutorials:-

I slept since yesterday 7/7/07 11 pm and woke up 12 pm EST and the orbiter forums are still down.

They won't be fixed until Monday at the earliest as M6 very rarely fixes it during weekends and major holidays in the
US.

Thanks, for the help Oriter Fan.

By 'major holiday' I assume you mean:
Any time a bar is open,
Any time there's sport on TV,
Any time the tech weenie manages to untangle his tongue long enough to talk to a lady,
Any time they 'just can't be bothered'.

I seriously feel sorry for anyone unfortunate enough to have actually paid to use m6, it's got less uptime than an alcoholic
at a party.

It's working now.

Has it gone down again, seems to have fallen over.

Yes. And Radu is aware of it and he cannot do anything about it. M6 needs to clean up the server.

Doug Beachy · Reply #21 - 20 July 2007, 16:36:02

Given M6's track record I can't imagine anyone actually paying M6 to host their web site -- it goes down every
month. I wonder how they stay in business?

That's a complete mystery of it's own. Anyone have any alternate feasable suggestions for Radu and Martin?

TIHS IS A REPEAT AFTER ME SONG!
Here we go again

Same old stuff again

Sittin' front the comp screen

A billion days and it'll be fixed

But that is not a sure thing

This happens every month or two

Every every every month

Every single waking month

Ok, so I'm still half-asleep. It was acting balky last night for me, I was thinkin it'd be down. Sometimes stinks to be
right.

WHOA, its down...again.
