I can, however, get ATFOTF on my mobile phone which is connected to O2. Anyone else experiencing similar difficulties?

By restarting the router you will most likely gained a new IP address that hasn't been banned. I have one reply that I will ask them about.

Please ask, if they haven't blocked it I can pass to Tech Support (with the above details) and ask them what's happening.

It was the last item in a list of suggestions I found elsewhere for problems like this.

I knew the forum members I could email were likely to be busy, so I was reluctant to contact them. I looked on the Twitter feed, but there was nothing there. What I'm getting at is - could there still be members who are out of the loop?

It is a possibility John, but other than keep pushing our "forum down" instructions at http://www.fun-fairs.co.uk/forum-down/ there isnt a great deal I can do from my end

What about updating the Twitter feed? Also, for a day or two, you could have one of those irritating pop-up messages along the lines of "Do your mates know there's been a problem with site access? If you've not seen them on-line for a while, could you email them to make sure they know about it."

Their ISP is PlusNet and i kept getting the server timed out message even when i tried again mid-afternoon. Not particularly a problem for me and if it persists next week i will reboot the router there but just thought i'd give an update that this is still happening.

I've passed this on and will let you know.
