    Hey guys,

    sorry if this is not the right spot to place this but I couldn't find anywhere else more suitable.

    Is fanfiction.net down only for me?

    Thanks in advance.

    What message does it give you when you try to reach the site?

    Yup, it's working fine here as well. Actually, since they restructured their servers, it's been down a lot less than it used to. I really can't believe I'm saying this, but they managed to improve it quite a bit.

    >_>

    It's now moderately usable ;)

    I don't really get any messages.. that's what's bothering me.. My internet explorer simply can't reach the site.. so it's a blank page constantly trying to update itself..

    All other websites are reachable, except fanfiction.net..

    Can it be that my own explorer is blocking the access?

    Start > Run > cmd (enter) > ping fanfiction.net

    Edit: Might not be entirely accurate...I don't use Winblows and can't be fucked remembering their shitty, limited command line.

    If you have a modem/router, turn it off for a minute.
