Flickr on blacklist?

[chichard673]

Myself and several other users seem to be getting awfully slow loading times, or no loading whatsoever for flickr.com

Have VM deemed this as a no-no webpage, flickr staff say that their servers are running fine.

:welcome: to the site...

VM don't block any sites... Sounds like you have a proxy problem. Try changing your proxy like here. (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/cmtips/trancache.html)

No, I think it's Flickr, can't get into it at all from here (Teesside). Other US sites ok (Amazon/Ebay .coms) so it's not the Trans-Atlantic linky thingy.

I'm on VM (Ex NTL/Bromley) and flickr is working fine for me.

It's fast for me, and I'm in Teesside.

Working fine in Leeds, 4mb link.

Thanks for the speedy replies and input. I've been more of a reader of the forums, never a poster, time for a change it seems.

There tends to be times when it's relatively impossible to get onto the site and I tend to use it a lot. I'll take it up with flickr like the rest of us.

Have you tried a different Proxy?

[chichard673]

Well I don't know if I should, as it is now working again. To be honest I don't have the faintest idea about why i should change my proxy and what it would do. lol
