Blakbird Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Well, OK, I'm looking at the website right now and the last post was on Thursday, January 3, 2013 and titled "Week TechVideo, 2013 #01 - Automatic Axle Sorter ". I get an error that says "The URL is not resolvable". This suggests the domain name is not mapped to an IP address in DNS. Quote
Ondra Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I use google dns because my provider dns has problem with technicbricks many times before.So If is there problem with dns I hope google will solve this. Quote
Phoxtane Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I'm getting a page that tells me that the website no longer exists at this address, and that I'm going to be redirected to the current website [from technicbricks.blogspot.com to technicbricks.com] Quote
DLuders Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Would it help to empty your "Browsing History" file (from your "Temp" directory), and then try to access TechnicBricks.com ? Quote
andythenorth Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) DNS changes takes time to propogate. Also DNS failures are not uncommon. So due to changes or failures, it's totally plausible that people on another continent (or another ISP) can see a site you can't :) Edited January 4, 2013 by andythenorth Quote
Matt The Tuba Guy Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Technic Bricks is down for me too (NZ) Not the first time, this seems to happen every so often for some reason. Quote
Jim Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Technic Bricks is down for me too (NZ) Not the first time, this seems to happen every so often for some reason. Same here. http://technicbricks.blogspot.nl/ generates a message that the blog has been moved to the following address: http://www.technicbricks.com/ which generates an error message about not being able to find the page. It sure is starting to look like a recurring error. Quote
S.I Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Not resolving in germany either, but this seems to happen every couple of weeks. Quote
_techniclego55_ Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Yup, for me in Austria it's down too.. Quote
legomuppet9 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Its now down for me, it wasn't yesterday.... Quote
DLuders Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 TechniBRICKS is still working in Spokane, Washington USA. You're not missing anything -- the latest post is still from Thursday, January 3 and is about the "Week TechVideo, 2013 #01 - Automatic Axle Sorter ". Quote
Conchas Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Hi Guys... Thanks for your concerns and support! This time TechnicBRICKs, is not working for me too!!... Few months ago I've redirected the blogsopt domain to www.technicbricks.com One or two weeks ago I made it to answer also to technicbricks.com At this point it should be reachable from several URLs technicbricks.com www.technicbricks.com www.technicbricks.blogspot.com (or the suffix from your country as it started to happen some months ago - blogspot.xx) Although since a few months I've been reported by some of you about occasional difficulties to reach the website. At first I did not take it too seriously because I never experimented such problems. Although about than two weeks ago I noticed that I was not able to access it through my 3G data card quite often, and then I realized that many times it was also no available trough my cell phone too! (the same mobile operator) With some recent comments at TBs facebook companion page, that's when I realized there must be something really wrong!... Yesterday morning I contacted the support hotline from my domain and hosting provider and they verified the DNS information configured was wrong. dnserver19.esoterica.pt dnserver3.esoterica.pt And replaced it with the correct servers... ns1.esoterica.com 80.172.241.133 ns2.esoterica.com 80.172.241.134 After a few hours it turned into the nightmare you already know, and some DNS diagnostic websites are reporting severe no to say fatal errors... http://www.intodns.com/technicbricks.com The blogspot URL also reports an weird message about the redirect configuration. Of course I could revert it again to blogspot.com immediately, but don't know how fast it would be and this is not the way to solve the issues. It could turn things even worse. So I prefer to wait and try to solve the whole situation rather then remedy it. I also know that some who were not able to access yesterday, they already are again today (e.g in Netherlands) Others in my country (Portugal) were still able to access yesterday night. I've raised a ticket to my provider and I'm waiting some answer, which should happen still over the weekend. However the phone hotline will only become available again, next Monday. It seems the DNS propagation information is not yet complete (far from that) and after +30h this seem quite too much for me... Like Blakbird wrote, it seems "Some ISPs must have the updated DNS information and others do not.". I'll keep you posted about the evolution of this situation. Quote
DLuders Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) The computers are rebelling against their masters! Edited January 5, 2013 by DLuders Quote
Conchas Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 "Funny" enough I now have stable access from my mobile, but not from the fiber connection at home... Meanwhile my ISP did not even touch the ticket! It is just a matter of "Disruption of Service"... There should be much higher priority tickets to handle at the moment... Dark weekend! Quote
hrontos Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 It worked for me when Ondra reported it is not working. It worked even yesterday. It does not work now. It looks like the NS changes are propagated and until it is complete, it will make problems. Or the change was wrong and it's propagation is making problems. Quote

These should be much higher priority tickets to handle at the moment... If the DNS info was wrong, there is nothing that your host can do to speed it up. It takes a couple of days to propagate to all the DNS servers worldwide. We just have to wait I guess. Quote

Yeah, lets wait and see. Just hope it gets up for the big day... Quote
Gene Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Works for me. No issue with iPad 2, iPhone 5 or MacBook. Quote
Conchas Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Just learned it works for me now too, because I saw my banner reaper in the post above yours (it is hosted at TBs domain) Meanwhile tested to access and it is really work at my desktop. Hope it is to stay and that the change has definitely solved the sporadic issues some of you were experiencing in the past months. Although some of you may still need to wait some more time, until your ISP DNS servers gets the new DNS information propagated. Quote
Paul Boratko Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 TechnicBRICKs seems to work fine one day for me and then I cannot access it at all the next... I have had this problem for a few months.... Quote
Conchas Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 TechnicBRICKs seems to work fine one day for me and then I cannot access it at all the next... I have had this problem for a few months.... Likely since I've activated the redirect. Hopefully the DNS update that was made yesterday, will solve you this issue forever... I've just confirmed the weird message on Blogger about the redirect, is also gone. Hence the original URL (www.technicbricks.blogspot.com) is also working now flawlessly. Quote
Paul Boratko Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 That reminds me, I need to update the link at my website for TechnicBRICKs to the new address... I am gonna do that right now.. Quote
Conchas Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 That reminds me, I need to update the link at my website for TechnicBRICKs to the new address... I am gonna do that right now.. Both should remain working! Although the update won't hurt anybody and something shorter as technicbricks.com will be easier to remind. Quote
Paul Boratko Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Well the old link would take you to a screen saying that TechnicBRICKs had moved to www.technicbricks.com and then you had to click on a redirect link, so I eliminated the unnecessary extra click... Quote
