[Vanity] "Service Temporarily Unavailable"

I've been getting a lot of "Service Temporarily Unavailable" pages this morning - and noticing the number of double- and even triple-posts, others are getting it too....

Does anybody more technologically literate than I know if this is a hangover from yesterday's DOS attack, or is FR about to go down big-time again??

I got a few yesterday, today, and ironically, just now when I pushed the “reply” link... Would seem to be a problem at FR’s servers because our client-side internet is apparently working, and the basic HTML server is working well enough to know something went wrong and return the “Unavailable” message.

I have been seeing some this morning. Even got one when I opened this thread and another when I first tried to reply. Either they are doing work or the DNS hacksters are busy.

A White House basement officed Obamadrone is no doubt responsible.

He'll be awarded a red star medal for his achievements by the chief commissar.

” a DOS attack was yesterdays problem? probably the white house “

Yes — there was a thread (originated by JimRob) about it yesterday on the YAHOO GROUPS alternate site (Freerepublic2)...

I see it too. I’ve put up a few dozen posts and seen the double post phenomenon only once. Wonder if it depends on browser. (I’m using Firefox 3.0.13)

I’ve found I must go back and re-click to get to the webpage. This 2-step process must be repeated for each new page.

It's very useful to know what the technical problems are on FR so that we know whether the problem is on our side, on the FR site or web-wide.

I use http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ to see if the site is actually down. It might be useful for others, too.

I don't know if it is a security issue to tell the site's problems out in public but if not I'd request that a post be made so that we know how to respond, even if the only thing to do is to be patient.
