TDN Wiki seems to be having a problem

by Scott Johnson · in Torque Game Builder · 07/18/2006 (6:33 pm) · 11 replies

I was just (within a few minutes) no longer able to get to the wiki, something is wrong with it...

Anyone else experiencing this problem, or is it my ISP messing w/me?

This has been SOLVED See my last post.

I can access TDN just fine. Is anyone else experiencing problems with it?

Well, crud.. every computer I browse from, I can hit the site, but no matter what I get redirected to a bad url I can't actually get to any content.. very strange.

Correction I can get to the home page, however the login seems busted, and I'm assuming thats whats preventing the hyperlinks from working ..

or maybe I'm just cursed..

Thanks.

Man.. its been 2 days now, and I can't get to any content on the WiKi.. I really need to get there.

it's related to the Logon feature I'm sure.. but geesh.

Come on guys.. It cant just be me...

2 days now.

I'm being patient.. but man it's a drag not being able to hit the wiki.... learning a lot about GUI's and what I can glean from the provided content of the indie kit...

maybe its not such a bad thing..

but the cool stuff on the wiki ....

Interestingly it was the same day I signed up for MANTIS, could that have screwed something up?

Thanks.

Also, is there a place with more dev folks online that I'm missing, I'm not seeing a huge amount of traffic coming through these forums... NOT that I'm complaining, I've really appreciated the help I've gotten so far here.

Maybe try clearing out your cookies and caches, then re-login to the GG site (this site), then re-login to the TDN site?

Matt, thanks for the advice.. but I've done all of that and more.. I had even had a computer that I had never visited any GG related site, and it still happened. (and still is). I even tried to create a new login, but figured out that wasn't going to work, because that login didn't actually own any product... :(

So, I'm kind of stuck. Maybe it will clear itself up, or else I'll just have to live without the wiki.

Thanks.

I was having internet access problems for the past couple days, too. GG was really slow or inaccessible for quite a while, along with some other websites. I thought it was just my ISP, but maybe not. Seems ok now, though.

Maybe DNS is screwed at your ISP. I know my ISP occaisionaly has DNS problems, and when they do, Google spanners out on me.

Try running: ipconfig /flushdns
from a command prompt and seeing if it helps.

Thanks philip, good suggestion. (Didn't work though)

Here's what I did.

Logged out of garage games
Cleared my cookies, cleared all files.
Deleted all content from my temporary files folder
ran the ipconfig /flushdns
shut down my computer, router, switch etc..
rebooted the network back up.
powered on the computer

Logged back into garage games, verified i can see the private forums.
went to TDN wiki.. got the same issue.

Don't change your Profile name (i.e. to say put a nickname in...)

I changed my Profile Name back to its original... voila'

very interesting...
