Newgrounds is having DNS errors 2014-01-15 19:01:25


Not sure if anyone knows there's a problem yet, but try going to various people's pages and you'll get either Error 1001 DNS resolution error from CloudFlare network, or the generic server not found page your browser gives you when a website doesn't exist.

I'm sure it's related to the recent site migration. So, Tom, Wade, ... anyone? .. Someone needs to look into this.

This is happening for some people and we're not sure why yet. We're looking into it.

I don't know if this helps you guys a bit, but I get the same message both at home and at my job. Weird thing is that if try loading the same pages on my phone, it works perfectly fine.

Hm, I tested multiple 'error 1001' users on my phone, even ones I never checked before. Everything seemed to work. Now, a few hours later, I also get the same error message on my phone for these users, so I guess you scratch my feedback. =/

Received this error for the first time just now, sending an 'Add Friend' request, refreshing the page solved it though.

Thanks for the feedback. Still working on resolving this.

It isn't just user pages, which are still showing DNS error pages.

I'm getting a site not found error occasionally when visiting newgrounds.com

also, unrelated problem, but whenever typing into a form field, like this one, on an ipad. It's a pain in the arse when you make a typo. Because firstly can't see the cursor anywhere and secondly, I can't select individual words or letters.
this could also just be chrome

We've got a ticket open with our DNS provider and they have an internal ticket open with their engineering staff.

We're working to get this fixed ASAP.

Is this fixed for you?

It seems to be working fine at the moment. I know a bit earlier sometimes Newgrounds itself would get "server not found" but then refreshing the page and it loads. Right now everything seems to be working correctly.

Should probably hold out and see if there's any residual problem over the next couple days though.
