Is it just me affected..?
« on: Saturday 28 June 14 10:12 BST (UK) »
Saturday 28 June, 10:09 in the morning, in Ireland.

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems accessing sites like FamilySearch and Ancestry, I use Chrome and I'm getting the "Oops! Google Chrome could not find..." message. Even the Ireland Census won't play ball for me at the moment.  :(

Both fine for me. Using ancestry.co.uk and familysearch from Norway.

Many thanks, I think a quick "switch off and switch on again" is due!  :)

Familysearch, its indexing programme and Ancestry have gone for me (Liverpool).... been like this since I logged on half an hour ago - just getting 'problem loading page'.   

Rootschat clearly working and couple of other websites - freebmd seem okay  :)

If your switch on switch off works let me know as mine didn't  ???

Nope, didn't work, from Belfast I still can't access FamilySearch, Ancestry and the Ireland Census (there may be other sites I haven't tried)...

It appears that various websites in the uk are problematic. Ancestry, eBay,  and others I have tried today have timed out due to server not responding.
Another DDoS strike maybe?

I have the same issue today (Sat) some sites are ok but others I get the  "Oops! Google Chrome could not find..." message. Checked using other browsers but still the same also flushed/released/renewed the DNS server but still the same.
