God, this site really is ****e now for technical issues.
It’s been atrocious this afternoon. It seems churlish to complain on a site where the personal data you sacrifice to register is quite limited and you’re not force-fed ads after that, but that doesn’t mean it’s not bobbins.
 
The site is not a commercial operation, a bloke just set it up, but he has a proper job as well.

We don't pay him to host it, but hopefully he'll find time to iron out these bugs at some point.
I've sent a communication to him today mate, stating people having problems accessing the site from their mobile networks. He'll probably be working right now, but hopefully get time at some point (date unknown) to look in to it.

I'm aware from the number of people asking me that it's a problem, just no resolution forthcoming at the moment. I know Mick was doing some work on the site the other day due to it keep crashing, so I was hoping that would fix it.

I first reported the problem on the 10th May, but as we are all aware I guess the site keep crashing becomes the priority.

As you say it's not a commercial operation, it's just Mick, I can deal with onsite issues but have no access to the server nor would I want it. I don't think it's UK based anyway.

Thanks for your help explaining it to the guys. <ok>
 
I find if you go back to the not606.com home page and click through from there that usually gets me back in. Plus you get the thrill of finding us under Premier League now!

Ok guys, the site owner has come back to me, the bits in brackets is me interjecting...

Do we know the errors they are getting (assume that means codes like 408) or can we get screenshots (I assume you guys are experiencing it just hanging)?

If it's at the ISP level it might be that we've been put in some adult blocking category (this had crossed my mind) or something else.

But I can't see issues from my side.

If it's Cloudflare it might be they see them as a threat or it being spam (the site has had to deal with spam last two days from Brazil)

I might be able to change sensitivity configs on Cloudflare to allow all UK traffic, maybe I try that now. (I know we had to up sensitivity at one point due to being under bot attack).
 
This is what i get if using EE mobile but only sometimes, when not working it's for days not just a short break.
I have a dual sim phone if I switch over to the other sim card Vodafone the site works as normal.
I should add the neither sim are unlocked for adult content.

I'm on EE and I generally only have a problem when the site is down for everyone so I doubt it's totally EE related
 
Some changes have been made to Cloudflare, let's give this over the weekend and see if it hopefully improves things.

At the moment still the same problem, no access using EE mobile but works on Vodafone.
Will see how things go over the weekend.

I had a look up about EE and found a few points...

1. Modern networks handle internet traffic differently. EE natively supports IPv6, which is the newest standard of internet routing. However, some website servers are misconfigured or incompatible with mobile IPv6 connections. Because your Vodafone SIM might use a different routing setup (e.g., sticking to IPv4), it successfully connects while your EE connection times out.

2. When you type in a URL, your phone connects to your network's Domain Name System (DNS) to locate the website. If EE's DNS server is having trouble resolving a specific website's domain or has cached outdated information, the site won't load.

3. EE applies varying traffic management policies based on your contract type, and network-level "content filters" (e.g., parental locks) might actively block certain sites or forums if they are categorized as restricted.

4. Mobile networks have distinct physical masts. What appears to be an issue with a specific site might just be a weak EE signal at that exact location. Your phone may struggle to complete the "handshake" to load a webpage if the data signal is too degraded.

The only bit of that I understood was 4. Been out and about today and it's the same everywhere.
Called in at an EE shop and they said they had had a few customers coming in with the same problem but different Web sites not Not606. No real techy in shop, suggested calling their help dept. Well we all know how that works so didn't even start down that road.
