ntlworld.com problems
 

Is anyone else experiencing problems reading the news items on ntlworld.com? http://www.ntlworld.com/news/

If I click on any news item it comes back blank. I can still see the rest of the page down the right & left (links etc.), but the news item itself, down the middle of the screen, is blank.

It's been like this for a few days now.

Fine here on firefox :) and in IE

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

Looks like I have the same problem as you XFS03. Been like it since late Sunday.

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

Fine here.

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

Yep mine comes up but blank where the article is supposed to be.

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

I would say this is a proxy issue ?

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

I dont use proxys, i'm Ntl, so its there problem i think.:(

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

It's not whether you use a proxy, marky, it's whether ntl assigns you one. The vast majority of ntl users are assigned one: although they can specify a different one, they can't access the internet without one.

That's unless ntl don't assign you one in the first place, in which case you can surf without one if you want. I'm one of the lucky ones; I'm not on a proxy.

If you want to check it out, scroll up to the top of this page and click the Connection link. That'll tell you whether you're on a proxy or not, and if you are, which one.

I agree with Bill C; this would seem likely to be a proxy issue. I, too, can see the news page perfectly.

Then how come i can see that page ok. I am NTL as well ?.

This is a proxy issue.

You appear to be an ntl Customer Your IP address 86.11.***.*** Your Proxy IP address 80.5.160.7 This is a Baguley Proxy Server


Try this one :)

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

Yep. I picked a proxy at random (watford) & it works again (normally, I'm on Poplar).

I'll probably pick a different home page to read my morning news, rather than play with proxies.

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

Well it must be them.

If my ip cant access things on there hompage then its them not me :(

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

javascript problem?

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

I dont have a problem anywhere else, so i'm stumped :confused:

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

I have no problems

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

on topic does anyone get any popups when they go to ntlworld's homepage? I get a popup for a casino site, I never get the popup anywhere else and my pc is clean of adware and spyware :S

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

I don't, but then I use Firefox.

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

Poplar here and I get a blank news item as well, switching proxy works as usual.

One of many that fail in some way, I gave up reporting them as its a waste of time.

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

I thought this had already been shown not to be a proxy issue, since marky is not routed via ntl proxies, but does have a problem.

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

Then why did this happen

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

I have no idea.

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

Agreed. I found myself on a proxy today for pretty much the first time since getting broadband - ;-( - so i thought I'd check this. I can confirm that the other proxies I tried didn't show the page, while Watford 1 did.

Definitely a proxy issue to my mind.

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

OK. Looks like I was lucky in picking Watford at random. Just gone through 24 proxies using the cache-1 server in each case. Some displayed the news article & some didn't.

The ones that work are:-
brhm, brnt, glfd, hudd, lutn, midd, nrth, nott, pete, watf.

The ones that don't work are:-
asfd, belf, cdif, colc, cosh, hers, leed, manc, oxfd, popl, renf, sotn, swan, winn.

In each case I went to the ntlworld news page & clicked on the London Bombings Public Enquiry story.

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

Yes I tried using different proxies. I'm on the Cosham proxy by default. And yes some worked on the NTL news site and some didn't. So yes I would say it's definately a proxy problem. My Cosham one does not work for this. But I won't be changing proxy just to view the NTL news site. I will go to other news sites instead. Like the BBC ones.;)

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

I got news back, and ive not altered a thing :confused:

Re: ntlworld.com problems
 

Appears to be working normally again now.
