Forum Problems

BI main site comes up without issue as well. It is just the forums where there seems to be issues. I have also searched the net and found many others with different browsers experiencing this same problem.

On my PC at home IE9 also has problems. The first 2 or 3 pages load fine, then images stop loading but i still get text, but a couple of pages later nothing will load and if i keep on trying even other webpages wont load anymore. Looking at taskmanagers reveals dozens of iexplore.exe processes, most of them doing nothing(since i dont have that many tabs open). However on my laptop with IE9 everything works fine.
When i had problems loading the forum i also tried Opera and FF which at that point also refused to load this site, however i havent tested those browsers without ruining everything with IE9 first.

Oddest thing ive seen in a while, especially since its fine on my laptop, and only this place seems to cause it.

my suggestion is
- ensure you have latest OS and IE9 updates
- ensure you have latest Java 6 or Java 7
- ensure you have latest Adobe Flash

Reinstalling flash seems to have done it, odd since i always update, but thanks anyway.

Actually scrap that, it didnt work. At least it stops opening new iexplorer processes now, and Opera just crashes after a few pages. Firefox seems to work a bit longer for some reason but after a while also starts timing out. This is seriously one of the oddest things i have seen.

Just noticed this thread and I too have experianced this. It first happened last week and i could not get on the forums all day. then it was ok until yesterday when I could not get access for about 6 hours. I did connection fault diagnosis with explorer and It said DNS server not found?

Also I could not go on to any Bis sites?

I read somewhere that one indivudual had to do a reboot on his modem. I just did one before trying to get on and I found my way into the forums. However, Like an idiot I did not try it right before the reboot so I am not sure if it is the fix or not. I will report back on weather or not the problem re-occurs.

P.S. I was unable to get on the last couple of days during the few attemps I made. I was also unable to get on the main Bis site yesterday as well. Normally though the main site is not the problem. Just the forums.

Same for me.

I came here to report the same thing, I was getting "host not found" for the entire bistudio.com domain. Someone's DNS server is/was having problems. I would normally attribute this to a normal internet hiccup, but it seems to happen too frequently for that.
