Closed Something's wrong. Can only access site via IP address. Don't know if it's just me or what.

This site can’t be reachedpoal.co’s server IP address could not be found.
Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy, firewall, and DNS configuration
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

I can still access poal (obviously) via IP address, but domain resolution for some reason is wonky. Not sure if this is out of your control.

Not just you... but everything seems back to normal for me at this point. It looks like it was a DNS issue. Did poal.co finally make it to the big time such that ISPs will fuck with us?

Nah, it's still giving me trouble. Did a "is it down?" website thing and it says it's up, so it might be a CDN issue; don't remember if poal uses one of those. Curious to see if anyone else is still having this problem.

poal was down for me as well over the course of several hours. I think that the problem wasn't on my side, because I checked via some is-this-site-down-service, which confirmed it.

I wasn't able to connect via domain name either over the past couple hours.

All is fine now, though

Works for me, sucks to be you.

In all honesty, I had an issue last night or this morning.

Dude the snow fall is frying my mobo. Is there a way I can turn it off?

There's a setting on your profile page.

ETA - it's literally called Disable Snow.

It's using only CSS, so it should be rendered by your GPU and consumes close to nothing. Unless your browser's engine doesn't support your GPU or HW acceleration is disabled.

Huh works fine here on wifi and mobile. Have you tried rebooting to flush dns cache?

Did you switch to using CloudFlare? Cause now I'm finding a different IP on my phone, which is apparently a CloudFlare IP, which says it won't allow direct IP access. If so, my home ISP might just need to wait for the changes to propagate.

No I will never use cloudflare.

Restarted machine, installed updates. Flushed all the things: might just be my computer somehow, because I checked my phone and can use it fine. I'm on mobile data, will try wifi on phone next.
