NationStates Jolt Archive

Jey is having trouble accessing the forums. Sorry I'm not being terribly specific, but he asked me for ask for him if you knew what might be wrong:

I haven't been able to access the Jolt forums since my last comments on the draft thread. Is it just my computer? or is Jolt down again?

Jolt has been down, but it works for me now. Have you tried going via the direct link?

Still not working. When I try in Firefox, i get a Firefox error messege. When I try in Opera, its a blank page.

Any idea what might be causing this, or any further questions I should ask him?

The forums are buggy, yes, but if he could give you a copy of the error message...

I keep getting an error message that's essentially a 404 error when I try to access the forums through Safari. However, if I use Explorer or Firefox, I can get in.

We're certainly not seeing a raft of Safari complaints, and we would be getting GHR tasks if it were failing universally. Seems like that pretty much says that the problem is on your end.

well, i've been getting problems with jolt for a while, but i think some of those are the fault of the network i'm coming in from...
but also, i keep getting an error message, which i did report to the NS mods in general via the "request help" page, and i was sent a link to clear all jolt cookies, which fixed the problem, but i now keep getting the same error, it seems to happen every third time i try to use the NS link to access jolt (and i cant log in any other way :(). I can fix it by using the clear cookies link again, but that is becoming monotonous. I can deal with it, but i'm guessing other people are probably getting the same thing and havent twigged on how to repair it...
