Hi expanda,

Cheers.
Hey Burnsy, couple of things firstly the screen shot you provided seems to be "Telstra" related as it it is the Telstra proxy complaining that it can not find the page.
Not sure how versed you are on all things webserver but our website runs on port 80, your error message states that it can not find expandasdowunder on port 3128.
3128 is the key here, this is the port that the Telstra proxy server uses to lookup our website.
So in summary, telstra proxy on port 3128 looks up expandasdownunder and reports it can not find it.
We know it exists as the error message is saying specifically that it can not find "expandasdownunder.com/forum.php" but we know this page exists otherwise the forum would be offline for a long time as this file makes the site run and if it was deleted accidentally I would need to re add the file to the box.
If the error message was reporting that it can not find "expandasdownunder.com/forum.php" port 80 then it woudl relate to our server.
So this would lead me to believe that the Telstra proxy is intermittmently dropping pages, not sure why this is but this seems to be the issue.
I have scoured the logs looking at your access requests and all seems above aboard for the times your online.
I am not really sure how to progress but one thing you can try is this when you have this issue jump on a) Your iPhone & b) another machine preferabbly not telstra related and hit this website address -
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/expandasdownunder.com
It will do a check on our site from its internet connection and report if it is "
Down" or "
Up".
This should isolate the fault to the Telstra proxy.....
I apologise to you for having to go through this sincerly and I hope we can narrow the fault down further as I want to ensure the forum is running perfectly for everyone to enjoy at all times.
Please post back with your results if you don't mind doing this testing.
Now this leads into the second and final thing, I am aware that we have experiecend some drops out the past few weeks but this relates to the error message "Resources Reached" or similiar and do not relate to the issue you are facing.
That is not to put your issue aside but I have been trying to isolate wether it is the resource error or something else and it does not seem to be the resource issue as we have gone 24 hours without being limited.
To explain the issue in more detail for the resource issue the message is coming up is because as of late in the past few weeks our hosting provide has been limiting our sties access as we have been taking up the resource allocation we have available.
This is a great thing in some way as it means we are getting more visitors on the site and its time to finally grow up and get a new home for the site that can accomodate the traffic increase but it is also bad whilst this goes on as it limits access to the site and weirdly it did start occuring in line with your reports.
To overcome the resource issue I have been working with the mod team over the last week to bring a new server up and online that can accomodate this growth in users and traffic and I am hoping to move us over to it shortly once we are happy with the way its running.
My concern is though that even once we move you may still have issues so I would like to see it resolved and or at least get to the bottom of it.
Again I wanted to ensure you know I am certainly not sitting idle as accessilibty and uptime on the site is paramount to me and I will take all steps neccessary to make sure the site is up.
Please keep me posted on your findings if you can as it would be very much appreciated!
