What's up at welding web?

[Rock knocker]

There was one member there that most everyone LOVED to HATE. A real smart (surprisingly compassionate) fellow. I had several intelligent PM's with him before he was eventually permanently banned.

Sounds like William J McCormick

I have the greatest respect for anyone who can manage a network or forum such as WW or TBN and keep it right-side-up.

Your last sentence was worth quoting.

WW is back up! :thumbsup:

Most recent posts before today were in June 2017, 8+ months of posts lost.


In Forum Support and Suggestions, in reply to shovelon:

we have missed all of you too. as you can see we lost some months of data unfortunately, but the good news is we're back, and hosted on the Cloud now.

And in Off Topic:

We apologize that it took so long and that we lost several months of data, but boy does it feel good to be back online!

QUOTE=Robb M

nothing at all like a hack, it was an absolute catastrophic failure at our data centre that caused both the downtime and the data loss.

Not for me. Got a link?

Welding Web (I had to edit that. The link is good but WW returned text 'Temporarily Unavailable' instead of the website. But then I clicked on that text, and got in.

The other link I sometimes use as a starting point jumps right into the Harbor Freight forum without a problem:
Temporarily Unavailable

 

[Mark @ Everlast]

Not working for me either.

Did you click on 'Temporarily Unavailable'? That works, for me.

Funny name for a website.

Cal's link works for me. Tapatalk works also. Time for me to get condescending and confrontational again. (Or MORESO)

Clear your computer cache or temp files and you should be able to get it. Unless of course you are trying to access from work and your company uses a proxy server. Then you might have to wait a day or so until that clears it's cache.

i still can't access even on my MacBook , android phone, or nextbook.

Support guy over there posted this:

Our DNS settings seem to be taking their sweet time propagating across the 'net. Not much we can do but wait.

DNS is the index that translates 'Welding Web' into a numeric IP to route your connection to the destination. Your ISP's DNS tables may take a while to get the update.

I can't log in. This has happened several times to me. Do you think they are trying to tell me something?
