No. In fact, this is the first anyone has mentioned about problems with the new site.

What are you experiencing and how? What browser are you using? Where are you trying to connect from (geographically)?

The load times are consistently fast for myself. Like Everah said, we have had only positive feedback thus far.

I've never had even a slow response from the new server. Sounds like you have a connection problem.

i have a cable connection and when I am unable to see devnetwork.net , I am able to see every other site. Why will I have problems with just one site?

Don't worry, I have the same problem as well. As did feyd the other night when we were speaking. Along with the cookie problem I mentioned.

I wouldn't say 90% of the time. I'd say 20% of the time it's unreachable. Seems to be sporadic in uptime and downtime. I took the liberty of pinging the server while it was down, and ping was able to ping the server, so the server didn't crash. Perhaps it's a resource limitation of the (maybe shared) server.

So, to reiterate my problems..

-Can't reach the site ~20% (total guess) of the time
-Can't login some of the time

Both problems seem to be very sporadic.

It seems we are experiencing dns issues: when I was unable to reach the devnet from Ukraine directly, I was able to use it through US-based proxy server. And vice versa. The problem still exists, you may check it yourself using various web-based dns tools (be sure to check both forums.devnetwork.net and devnetwork.net)

While the server shares it's space with a few other sites, they are far from taking any resources of any real significance.

You say when you can't reach the forums, you can still hit the server. I'll see what I can do about monitoring MySQL or something, but the problems seem to be isolated to only a few individuals, so we've come a LONG way from the old server.

So it could just still be the DNS getting itself around?

OpenDNS for the win! =)

I ended up calling my ISP and had them reset my connection (entirely) on their end of the network.

This would happen with the previous server too, except this outage was exceedingly long (pushing 24 hours.)

No problems today. If it happens again I will ping the site to see what address I get.

When I punch in http://www.devnetwork.net I usually get no response however if I type http://forums.devnetwork.net that seems to do the trick. :|

Just checked and I can confirm Hockey's observation - only the forums sub domain is responding from a browser. Haven't checked pings yet.

This has to be DNS related. I know we were having problems with WWW. resolution after the migration. But it has been good for me for the last few days. Both push to the portal.php page for me.

The DNS setup for devnetwork.net domain looks really, really bad - http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport ... etwork.net
I can't reach this forum due to DNS issues almost 80% of the time (it was unreachable yesterday).
