Why Does Thaivisa Suddenly Stop Working?

[cm-happy]

For the past few weeks have noticed that Thai visa will just stop working or time out when selecting threads for reading. Usually will work fine for a while then stops.

I know its not at my end. Will open another browser page and access other sites without a problem.

Will wait a few minutes and try thaivisa again and working fine.

Whats going on?? Need to upgrade or new hardware??

I was going to ask the same question but wasn’t sure if it was my connection. I get messages of TCP ERROR and other messages saying thaivisa server is too busy and to try again later.

I try other Thai, Singapore, Oz and UK websites when these errors occur and they load fast. This has been happening for the past week at all hours of the day.

With me, from Europe, also.

Especially annoying when I'm replying to a post...and stops or "Thaivisa" is disconnected for some reason.

I was concerned similarly, until I checked my download speed: 29 kps. Snails go faster.

Have to say the last few days from BKK on ADSL has been very poor on this site, other external not so bad but for the reason we all have commented on {the long vac.} I'm assuming that is where the problem lies as opposed to Singapore hosting of TV itself.

I hope......

Same here (Chiangmai), just hangs for a while then back again - for the last few days. Quite a few times every day. Happens several times while I'm in the chat room and monitoring the forum. The chat still is working as are other sites but the forum stops responding. Noticed it last night around 7:00pm that it hung and when it responded again the last post was 12 minutes old meaning know one was able to post for that period.

I've recieved the Network error message 7 times and the Connection to server failed message 4 ttimes since my earlier post. Other web sites don't have a problem and load fast.

Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"

The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

Connection to server failed

Connecting to the requested server (URL "http://www.thaivisa.com:80/forum/index.php?act=Search&CODE=getnew") failed.

Same from Europe.

There could be another explanation : denial of service (DoS) attacks.

MangoSauce experiences the same. And some other websites... So why not ThaiVisa ? It would be a target de choix.

Same here. These appear to be momentary glitches as all is backing in working order fairly quick.

[Tywais]

I'm moving this to forum support since it seems to be a wide spread symptom.

[Gimbo]

Having the same problem from South Asia. Chat will work, but cant get into Thai visa, and all other websites work fine.

[jetjock]

Having the same problem from here in the USA. Site intermittently appears to slow up to a stop however if I close site and go back on again it usually works normal again.

[taxexile]

same here.

[Tywais]

Looks like they just now did a server reset, so will see what happens.

[redrus]

Yeah, I thought this was just me too.

Been having the problem for over a month now, no-one else posted so thought it was just me....

In the North of England too if that might help isolate or find something....?

[dantilley]

Same here, and getting much worse. Was completely down for about half an hour for me just now...

[Wolfie]

I'm having trouble for the last few days... somethings happened

[taxexile]

probably those steam powered computers they use there , get the missus to chuck a bit more nutty slack on the fire ,that should help.

I don't know if this helps. I got this gateway message.

Connection to server failed

Connecting to the requested server (URL "http://www.thaivisa.com:80/forum/index.php?showtopic=114360&st=15") failed.

HTTP/1.0 504 Gateway Timeout: Connection to server failed

[Pattaya_Fox]

Same problems here.....I wonder why?

[dantilley]

Fine at the moment though. Very much up and down...

[monty]

Same over here, pretty good at the moment, but sometimes it gets completely stuck...

[Totster]

I've noticed it also

Intermittent problems for me here in Bangkok, too. Especially seems to get worse if, while it seems to be hanging a bit, I try to click on another link on the page- then it can lock up to the point that the browser can't even link directly to Thaivisa.com. If I sit back and wait at that point instead, it goes slowly but eventually does load and then service is temporarily back to its speedy normal.

[Grover]

glad to see im not alone.

just a little frustrating.

It has been happening to me here in Korea too, but it isn't as bad as it was a year or so ago.

I have notice others have duplicates posts at times, so it appears it is the same for them too.

I have sometimes, duplicate "news clippings" subscription messages whilst other subscriptions to certain threads don't arrive at all...

The BIG question -and answer- remains. WHAT'S HAPPENING ?

[Pattaya_Fox]

To-day mine is working fine again....no problems

The datacenter we are using for the servers in Singapore actually did reboot one of their routers yesterday, that could have been the problem some of you experienced. Hope it's solved now.
