+chizu Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I can't get onto GC.com and haven't been able since last night but no ones said anything here, so is it just me? Most sites seem to be loading but a few others are just timing out, including geocacheuk.com. Any suggestions? I'm on Virgin Media.

The usual response is to suggest you clear your cache and perhaps delete the relevant cookies. Apart from that I can't say. Sorry.
+chizu Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 It's not a computer issue as both the desktop and the wireless laptop have the problem - thanks very much, we'll look into it
Izzy and the Lizard King Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I've got no problems. I've just navigated through most of gc.com and everything's fine. I'm on Virgin Media, so nothing wrong there. Paul
+chizu Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 Maybe it's an Edinburgh-specific problem? It's not loading on two different computers in either FF or IE7.
+gazooks Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I can get into GC.com ok but can't get into GCUK.com ?
+steviep Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I can get into GC.com ok but can't get into GCUK.com ? getting both site s here no problem!
+chizu Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 OK - sort of fixed for now. A man on the phone told me that apparently, for some reason Virgin Media can't access certain servers and are having to renegociate to access them?? Not sure why this would only be in the Edinburgh area though? Sounds rubbish to me! The workaround is to go to your connection settings and use a proxy server webcache.blueyonder.co.uk with port 8080.
+chizu Posted June 2, 2007 Author Posted June 2, 2007 The problem seems to have gone away this morning, even not using the proxy. Can a moderator close this thread now? Thanks for your help!
