Unable to access MacRumors

Shadowfax has asked me to post this thread, he, along with megaquad and vionw cannot get onto MR, they wanted me to ask if anyone else is experiencing this problem?

[shadowfax]

I'm running this from IE :mad: and my camino isn't working for it. it works for every other site i go to, including new google searches. i just noticed it works in safari too for me. but camino just spits back pages as done without doing anything. did you guys block the browser in some way?

[howard]

yes running on camino it won't work, it will work on safari but the front page is all messed up. i don't know what the problem is.

yeah; specifically, none of the news items will load, but everything else seems to.

[DakotaGuy]

IE is the only one that will load it right for me right now. You know the scary thing I just realized, that whenever I have any problems loading a page with another browser, I go to IE and it always works right...will we ever completely get rid of IE? To tell you the truth I hope it sticks around, just cause it is a nice back-up when nothing else works right.

yeah i know what you mean, i used to use it as a back-up but i havn't opened it in so long cause i hadn't needed to. i don't know if i'll ever delete it off my system...it doesn't really hurt just sitting there

do you normally use safari? I never do, which may be why it's workign for me now. i mean, the prefs on camino may have got messed up last night, but i am too scared to delete all my prefs, and i don't know how to ONLY remove mac rumors cookies or anything like that. what a dilemma! at least i am using safari now instead of :eek: IE...

[Sun Baked]

Looks like Mozilla and Netscape don't like what has been happening either.

[Rower_CPU]

Same here...

Safari works, but not Camino. :(

[Kwyjibo]

my homepage is screwed up, It only shows the links to older storie. I use safari v67 pretty much only.

Dito :( WTF is going on? :confused:

[ebow]

Camino: For both macrumors.com and forums.macrumors.com, the status bar flickers a bunch, and a message appears saying "The document contains no data."

Mozilla 1.3: For both macrumors.com and forums.macrumors.com, the browser makes a quick attempt and then stops having done nothing.

Phoenix 0.5 ;) : For both macrumors.com and forums.macrumors.com, the status bar flickers a bunch, and a message appears saying "The document contains no data."

Safari: For macrumors.com, the page loads with no main stories (just top and sidebars). forums.macrumors.com seems to work fine (using it now).

IE 5.2: For macrumors.com, the page loads with no main stories (just top and sidebars). forums.macrumors.com appears to be working fine.

OmniWeb 4.2b1: For macrumors.com, the page loads with no main stories (just top and sidebars). forums.macrumors.com appears to be working fine.

So... it seems to be something that Mozilla-based browsers can't cope with at all, while other browser get at least part way there. This seems to have come on all of a sudden, sometime between, maybe, 12:30 and 1:30 ET.

[shadowfax]

could this be some kind of a virus, do you think? where is arn?

[vniow]

Yo, posting here from Safari, can's seem to access the main page, I got a direct link to this thread from Shadowfax, what's going on here?

[edesignuk]

Well, the short story is MR is not rendering at all in some of the Major OS X browsers, and not rendering correctly in others....and no one knows why this has just started happening :confused:

[vniow]

I can't access it from IE on my PC or (which I use practically never) Phoenix v0.5 (also on PC) and Camino doesn't seem to work either, this is very strange.

Safari v67 works perfectly however, you think it may be a virus that only allows Apple supplied browsers to access certain sites?http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=257466

[edesignuk]

Ok, this is getting very weird. In IE6 on XP it comes up saying it can't even find the server forums.macrumors.com, yet in Phoenix (on the same machine) it can find the server, but it comes up with the no data error, the same as Camino does on my Mac.

Me = very :confused: :confused: :confused:

[iJon]

probably those people that got hacked and they put our folding number. i would do the same

[edesignuk]

Where is arn? He's not signed on to iChat either :( This is a serious problem.

[vniow]

Okay, I'm going to open the Macrumors chatroom again if anyone wants to join (cmd-G in iChat) since some of our users can't seem to access the forums.

Cool beens! I'll meet u there ;)

[janey]

camino doesn't seem to work properly with a whole slew of websites. to tell you the truth i don't think camino even works on my alubook anymore...

[ebow]

Camino 0.7 (official release) works acceptably (or better) on nearly every site I use on a regular basis. Then again, my web browsing habits have become fairly routinized lately. Stay away from them nightlies, I guess! :eek:

[trebblekicked]

there does apear to be something wrong with the site.

i never go to the main page, so i didn't notice that all the news articles weren't showing up, and page 2 comes up blank. the buying section is fine and i have no problem using forums. i'm using safari.

apple propaganda :eek: ;)

my latest camino nightly is running MR great again. it's still mor convenient than safari, which you can't seem to configure to open new links (from other progs) in new tabs instead of new windows. anyone know how to do that, as an aside?

[arn]

you know, you guys can email me if there are problems... :)

Not that it would have made things go faster today... I wasn't online all day...

problems should be fixed. Let me know if there are residiual problems...

[scem0]

I couldn't get on either. I was very afraid there was a permanent
problem with MR. :eek: :eek:

What would I do?!?!?! :rolleyes: :o ;) ;)

Still seems to be problems as already described using IE

[MacFan25]

Last night, the front page was a little bit messed up when I viewed it in Safari. But the forums were fine.

Now, this morning, everything seems to be fine. :)
