cfelix Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The AVSIM forum has been unavailable for quite a while (I keep getting a 503 error). Does anyone know what has happened and when they might be back? Charlie - KSBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperPilot2 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Seems to be working fine for me. Jim @ AVSIM suggests this... "Make sure your Browser Address is set to forum.avsim.net". Hope this helps!

mrzippy Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Still working fine here! Since I use the FSX forum there, I use this http://forum.avsim.net/forum/121-ms-fsx-fsx-se-forum/ Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I got this for the last 36 hours. was fine in the week before. before that again this message a few times. Error 503 means 'service unavailable' (googled it). I don't think the 'error' is on your (our) side. I expect it to start working again just like that in a while. hope I'm not to optimistic and it's back soon. just now at their site.

cfelix Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hi Alan, The address for my link is correct and it was working until yesterday. I live in Arroyo Grande (California central coast). I thought there might a problem with one of the routers along my path to AVSIM but I can ping the address with no errors. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If you know how to use the CMD Prompt maybe try tracert avism.com/net and see if it goes through. I got 8 hops and about 84ms. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgh Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Pingdom times out 30.18 sec with 1 request for http://forum.avsim.net/ On the other hand, I get 19 requests 1.63 secs for http://library.avsim.net/ which works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperPilot2 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Drop the http:// and try it again. I've gotten in every time after each one of you has posted. Also, clear your Browser cache... that might help, too.

drobson Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Since there is also a thread on this topic in the Outer Marker forum, I shall lock this one. Darrell [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
