Hi Guys,

Anyone having trouble logging into the Hiroboy website? I haven't been able to access the site for 3 days now.

Hi Andy,

Not sure why I can't access it then.I'm using the same address as always.I can't get into the shop or the model forum or anything connected with the site at all.Must be something wrong somewhere.

Thanks,

Steve

Works fine with me; however, I tried getting in touch with Hiro twice last month and got no responce. When his site was briefly down I posted a thread on it and he offered an email for people to reach him while his site was down. I tried that and getting in touch with him through his website. Is there a better way? I have a couple of questions about what he sells and dont want to be buying things that might not even be what I was looking for.

Still can't access the site at all or anything connected with it.I've sent Steve an e-mail to see if there are any problems and am waiting to hear back from him.I just keep getting the same message 'cannot connect to the server at www.hiroboy.com' Every other site on my bookmarks I can access so I really can't think what else the problem is? I remember a post before on the same subject and at that time I could access it when others couldn't.Must be a revenge thing!!! I only wanted to order some paints and things,never mind.

I just typed www.hiroboy.com into FireFox and it opened just fine for me

I've been trying for the last few days myself to get into the site. Nothing.
Firefox, IE and Netscape all come up empty.

I also noticed I am not able to ope a few other uk sites. hmmmmm....

Guys,

It may not be you or your machines. I'm on BT Openworld and aside from one or two US sites, everything is working. Steve and Chris, which ISPs are you using ? It could be worth checking their website for technical reports and possible router failures. If one of those goes down, not much you personally can do about it.

In the meantime, think of all that web surfing time that you'll save and can now use to finish those masterpieces. And as you can get on here, you can still post those wonderful WIP piccies

i) check your calenders.
last weekend was a UK bank holiday.
the last time he shut his site down was because of a holiday, if i recall correctly, and it is likely to be the same thing again.

i mean come on, do you really expect the guy to work 24/7/365?

[klutz_100]

DM, I don't think that Steve "switches off" his web site when he goes on Holiday

The site is working fine, it's more a technical isuue with these guys' ISPs and blocked IPs or somethng. Similar things sometimes happen with freebie email accounts - some servers blacklist them as possible spam originators. For example, a few people in Germany and Italy were not receiving emails from me until I switched supplier.

er... it's 5am here and i'm not reading threads properly.
i thought i read that people aren't getting orders through a la hlj/1999 holiday periods; not that it wasn't opening the site.

maybe i do need to sleep after all.
