Safespeed website

[Dixie Dean]

Does anyone know if the Safespeed website is down. I've tried logging on this morning and it's not there.

Paul Smith passed away at the weekend!

Thanks, I know he passed away, I was a supporter of his campaign. I just wanted to know why the SafeSpeed site was down.

It does appear to be down, I don't know any more than that unfortunately.

It was up and running last night, it was flakey the day before, I think the web host is having problems. As far as I know there are no plans to discontinue any part of the campaign, apparently Claire was keen to ensure everything has been paid up to date and that everything is backed up.

It is not down - it is just sodding slow.

It takes many minutes for even a simple page to load. Unfortunately my browsers usually timeout before the pages load. I need to extend my IE6 timeout time so I can get a mobile number from my PMs within (this PC times out in 20s dammit). Can anyone tell me how to extend the timeout? Ta.

http://www.who.is/whois-uk/ip-address/safespeed.or... suggests the site is down and firefox certainly cant find it, maybe ur viewing the copy in ur cache

[smeggy]

That would be impressive considering I had sucessfully used the site search function (twice)

Thanks for the idea. My work PC might be slow, but it doesn't take minutes to dig through the caches.

ok i cant get to it, u cant do much with it, so maybe not the best host inthe world ?

will not bother with it until it works

got bored of seeing the timeout, always thought it means it cant be found, not sure why a uk based site needs to be going all the way to the states and back, but maybe the site is located in the states and makes it cheaper somehow ?

Possibly Paul had got a better deal over the pond - but no reason to ridicule the actions or reasons of someone who is not around to defend himself - think you might find the respect Paul had built up around here would make those sort of ideas hard to defend. I certainly won't sit down and see you do that. (And suspect that more will also jump to his defence ) ( of course I could be getting jumpy for no reason ,for which I will apologise in advance if that is the case )

anyone thought it might be due to a huge increase in traffic due to the sad recent events? lots of people trying to login & post messages of condolence?

That cross my mind.

Claire has joined up here und made a thank you post und notified over funeral arrangement on the other thread.

Mad Doc has mailed her via here to make a discreet enquiry over donation to wherever wished in lieue of flowers as mark of respect. He not checked his mail yet as he now about half way to work.
