What's up with PBW?

[Ragnarok]

Hey, what's goin on with PBW? Is it down right now? It's not working for me or anything. I just got home and was checking on my turns and the norm but the site won't open and RTC won't connect to PBW. Servers go down sometime recently or what? I miss it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Oh well, I'll live... Just as long as I don't miss any turns... Which I shouldn't...

Funny, it loads fine for ME right now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

It seemed to be off for a little bit...but it's back up now.

Everything works fine for me except uploading turns... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif and I'm the Last one to upload in one of my games!

What problem uploading are you having? Do you get an error? Are you using the graphic or the text Version?

Geo:

I don't think you need to worry about it...it was just a little outage from 11-12 EST on Saturday night.

Better take the sledge hammer to it again, Geo. I keep getting a "Gateway Timeout" this morning. (Don't forget to use the duct tape when your done with the hammer to re-integrate the sytem. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

Grandpa, I have been on it all morning from work here. No problems at all. Has it been intermitant for you or you can't get in at all? I don't think it's a server issue. Might be connection either at your end or at the server end.

Anybody else having problems today?

I keep getting a "Gateway Timeout" this morning. <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That sounds like a network traffic jam, rather than a PBW problem. Can you run a traceroute?

[Grandpa Kim]

It has been a no go all day. I am, however, getting turn email and successfully sending the turn via email (at least it hasn't been kicked back yet). So most likely this is just a traffic jam of some sort.

I'll see if I can find that cute little program for doing the trace...

Kim

Just got the confirmation. My emailed turn has been processed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hi Kim.
No need to get a program. Go into a Dos Screen and type the following command.

tracert seiv.pbw.cc

This should give you a listing of all hops to the PBW Site or state where it is falling over. Of course it may not work if you are not in the US. The Trans-Atlantic pipe from Australia to the US doesn't allow Trace routes.

Hey Geo, is there a way we can delete old files from the file section?
