Q for Toronto divers/internet users

[Warthaug]

I get the same thing here in Ottawa. Strangely enough, it doesnt seem to affect ontariodiving.com, or TDS as those are where I switch to when SB doesnt fire up correctly.

Yeah, OD works fine for me too at home. As do all of the other (but much smaller) discussion boards I belong to. Just SCUBAboard acts up. If I remember I'll try accessing SB via a proxy webpage (you know, the guys you can use to access facebook at work - not that any of us would ever do a thing like that). Maybe that'll fix the problem.

Could be just the load on the SB server(s) then. I have no idea what how much bandwidth they have. I don't recall getting the not found message, but I do find the site very slow sometimes. Could be Firefox is timing out before it loads.
You might ask here http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/site-support/

Looks like its rogers. Last night I couldn't access SB via rogers directly, but by logging in through a free proxy server (YouHide.com - Anonymous Proxy Server) I was able to access SB just find - albeit somewhat slowly. I had a second window open, in which I tried to connect to SB directly at the same time, which wasn't connecting.

I'm not sure why rogers would block SB, but it looks like they are doing so.

PS: For anyone wanting to use the above service to access SB, make sure you deselect all of the checkboxes first; other wise the log-in cookie will not work.

I would contact their tech support and ask why. There's certainly nothing in the content to justify blocking.
