Issues with Logging In at GarageGames

I've been having some problems reaching GG the past few weeks, and I've heard there's others out there who have had a similar problem, so.. If you know someone who has this problem, unfortunately, you'll only read this if you are searching for them, or they are searching on another computer

Get the direct IP address of the main login page, and send it to them (they can bookmark it.) I was able to get in past the odd problem using that. AFter doing a forum search, they will have to copy-paste the IP you gave them to replace "www.garagegames.com" tho

I had issues opening up the login page, forums, and whats new sections for about 13 hours the other day. Not sure why, but eventually it was fine again. Everything else loaded up like normal during this time.

Yeah it happen to me also, but as the problem goes away, also come back intermittently. In the meantime, the solution from Andrew Pidcock its working well, I personally "discovered" it yesterday, and sent an email to David Blake.

I sugest to continue this matter on Service Unavailable - Fail to connect thread, so we have a common place for news and discussion about this problem.

I get this too. I'm glad it's not just me. I emailed the GG webmaster but never got a reply.

The way I get around it was running the Tor plugin for Firefox :)

The whole internet is acting up today. It might not be GG there is some wierd stuff going down at the peer points in layer 3.
