a cry for help

this was posted by Walking Dad of Germany:

Hello. I cannot reach EN World from Germany. I had to use a proxy to post these. I can also start no new threads. Please, someone, post my problem to the meta thread!

Ideas from the Admin staff?

I'll try and contact him via email.

Not without more information - could be anything! From anywhere in Germany, or is it just his computer? What happens when he tries to start a thread?

From the information provided, it might be that his chair is not close enough to his computer. But I doubt that's it!

It works now. From 01:20 pm (the time of the edit after which I refreshed my subscription and got the error) until 5 minutes ago I could not reach the EN World server normally. I tried a webproxy but the IP was blocked, but the site opened. Another one let me post in existing threads. It seems either Germany or whole Europe couldn't reach the server (got a 'server down' message), but could connect without any problems with a Canadian webproxy as 'relay'.

Everything works now and I hope it was just a one-time glitch.

EDIT: I tried both IE and Firefox.

 

[Scott DeWar]

no glitches are allowed. when they mate, they make sons of glitches.

(don't know if that statement will traslate well to german. Just bewere.)

Glad i was able to be if help, reguardless.

Hey, Canada isn't THAT bad! of course never having been to canada I can't be there, but if it's anything like here, as I suspect it is, it can't be too bad, they just speak french, and we don't, I think is the main difference

Lanefan and Darjr in Mountie uniforms, keeping ENWorld safe ... an image too good to ever be reality.
