CNZ is the only site that won't load!

**Guest** Guest

I need help! It is the only site that won't load on my laptop. Yes - other computers in this house can reach it, so it can't be the internet, surely.

I've tried:
Clearing caches
Clearing cookies
Restarting computer
Restarting internet
Plugging directly into router
Accessing site on other computers (it worked)

What happens:
Title of site is set in, as though it knows it has reached site
Page stays blank, as though loading
Loading bar continues to load, without success

Help T__T

EDIT: Problem was solved, but...how? o_O;;

D: That's not good... Have you ever managed to get it to load on your laptop? I find that when that happens, if I refresh it loads. One suggestion we had when CNZ was having site maintenance issues was using a proxy which made it work for quite a few people - give that a try maybe?

Hmm, yea I visited quite a few times before this started happening. And I guess I could use a proxy but that would be tedious to do every single time I want to visit the site.

By the way, I absolutely loved your skit and costumes. It deserved the Cup for sures. <3

The other question is, is it just at a particular time of day? The site does a back up between 6pm-7pm for a minute or two (it's usually at 6.30, but does vary) and during that minute or two won't load. Sorry I can't be of more help though. D:

And thank you! n_n We were so stoked to get best group and best skit!

I am immediatley reminded of the HOST file. I assume you are running windows?

It is a long shot, and probably only applicable if someone did it on purpose. Go start -> Run (or type in the search box on Vista/7), type "notepad.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" and look for an entry in the file that opens that mentions forum.cosplay.co.nz or cosplaynewzealand.forumotion.com. If there is, erase that line, save and try again.

Maybe it's just your luck but you go on when they do maintenance. XD

i had this problem yesterday and this mrning -.- not sure the reason but thought id add my 2 cents in

**Guest** Guest

Yea and i'm kinda adamant about proxies x_X several have tried to install malware on my pc. (I had to use a couple for security reasons >.> ) - it's REALLY annoying when forumotion goes down and REALLY annoying when i've seen the content they host besides CNZ and other member's forums x_X its' basically a breeding ground for pr0n and warez.

**Guest** Guest

I agree. Proxy's are just dumb. >.< Glad its fixed, but I hope it doesn't happen again because I don't know how it was fixed...

If its not too off-topic (which it is) what do you study?
