Sorry about this - I don't know where else to say this.

Where does MR keep going.
Just a grey page and address
No one to ask
Missed whole WWDC thing altogether
Fed up
Like the site - but!
Does MR need more grunt/power/size whatever??
Need a new hosting agreement - what?

Any response from anyone who actually knows would be very good.

Thank you
 
I was slacking off diligently working while checking the latest updates every few minutes on MR during the entire keynote. Must be on your end.
 
was on macrumorslive for the whole keynote worked fine. Sounds like something your end was not forwarding macrumors.com to macrumorslive correctly.
 
OK but!

Thank you for the responses.

I am in the UK and have had this problem quite often. Only with MR..

Given 'my end' works everywhere else _ I used MacWorld site _ any other suggestions. Please.
 
Macrumorslive didn't work for me either. I was logged on before the keynote, saw the first three or four updates, then when the site refreshed itself, I lost it. The browser kept asking me to check the site's spelling to make sure I entered it correctly. I checked again after the keynote and it came back up fine. No problem, I watched Engadget's, but this is not the first time it's happened to me. Just wanted to report it...

This reads like a poem.

Why didn’t you just use Engadget?
 
Yeah, there was a definite routing issue of some kind. Hitting MacRumors bounced the URL bar to macrumorslive, which was 'not found' throughout the entire keynote.

Works fine now though (and redirects to MacRumors).

I'm reasonably certain that 'my end' wasn't the issue (and even more so now that others are reporting the same issue).
 
Not just this time

This something that has happened before and I tried to contact site admin to no avail.

Have to go now but would really appreciate someone/anyone with an answer replying to this thread!:)
 
I had a similar problem, I tried to look at the macrumors home page, but it directed me to the macrumors live and not the homepage!!!:mad:
 
macrumorslive.com was not working for me either during the keynote. Actually, macrumorslive.com was working, but it redirected to www.macrumorslive.com and that wasn't working.

I looked up the IP addresses for macrumorslive.com and entered one of them directly - that worked for a short period of time until the entire page auto-refreshed and redirected me to www.macrumorslive.com (which still didn't work).

Then I just stopped following directions, input another of the IP addresses, and refreshed manually every 3 minutes.
 
We did have a few reports of people not being able to resolve macrumorslive last year. I had hoped that it was fixed but obviously not :(

What did you use to look up the IP addresses?
 
nslookup on my Solaris machine at work:

Code: 
> nslookup www.macrumorslive.com
...
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    mrl-www.lb.reportinglive.com
Addresses:  174.129.124.170, 184.73.9.154, 174.129.148.192, 184.73.43.249
          184.73.19.194, 184.73.27.46, 174.129.146.140, 184.73.105.89
Aliases:  www.macrumorslive.com

Ah right. Does it work if you run (on your mac [edit] assuming it is a mac :) [/edit]):

Code: 
dig @ns1.lb.tecknohost.com mrl-www.lb.reportinglive.com

(or ns2-4)

And presumably:

Code: 
dig mrl-www.lb.reportinglive.com

doesn't work?
 
Unfortunately don't have access to a mac at work. ;)

Using nslookup, I get the same results looking up mrl-www.lb.reportinglive.com that I do for www.macrumorslive.com using my normal nameserver.

EDIT: I received similar results, but not the exact same IP addresses. Now I'm only getting one IP address.

I get only timeouts when attempting to use ns1.lb.tecknohost.com (or ns2-4) as the nameserver.
 
Not just WWDC

It was my frustration having set up to use MR for this WWDC and to have all go 'funny' on me just when I needed it.

The grey screen with 'macrumours *forum* has moved' on it followed by a URL.

Which if you click on it takes you to the -------------------------- YUP grey page!

This happens once or twice a week and not only the forum tab. *Any tab can lead to nowhere*.

I have put it down to site overload in the past, but would like to know what the real cause is, so it can be fixed. That is all.

Thank you. So Far.

NB: I am on a MacPro Octo 3.2 but as my sig indicates have absolutely no idea what all that programming/address stuff is all about. I am strictly "I use Mac 'cause it works" sort of fella!
 
hmm weird. macrumors was basically down for me the whole afternoon.

you type macrumors.com and it bought you to the live website which was so delayed it was worthless. I basically stayed off this site all afternoon due to problems.
 
MR was down for me from about 1:00-2:30 AM EST this morning. I was trying to load the Spoiler-Free thread, but I only got the gray header.

Exactly the same for me. Started out OK, but as soon as Steve took the stage, the liveupdate page would not load until 30 minutes after the keynote.
