EBME Forums Forums EBME Website EBME Website Accessing this site

I've had this problem - albeit intermittently!

Guys, are any of you experiencing problems from non NHS sites.
I'm wondering if it is an NHS cache issue.

Not having any problems at all Huw.

I expect they're trying to log web surfing habits into the latest "Big Brother" database that I've just been hearing about.

Don't they (the NHS IT Thought Police) also block access to certain other sites (like eBay, for example)?

They're probably also wondering why the site gets so many hits from within NHS intranets, I should imagine. You have been warned.

Or maybe they keep tabs on the threads, and have detected a whiff of criticism of the Almighty NHS!

No problems accessing this site from home now you ask!

The problem seems to be getting worse and intermittent. Tried to access the site several times this morning and only managed it twice.

Problems here as well in the Anglia region, I see more fedora pages than EBME ones, must be this Barracuda web filter thing they have installed, although if it was, it normally says 'Site Blocked' access denied, of which it does not.
Just my two pennys worth to help

Thanks guys, I can see that everyone posting, is in the same NHS network.

It looks like your IT dept is blocking the site. This happened a few years ago. They sorted it out when a few departments made them aware of the issue.

See this link.

I wonder it a simple direction works (that is, a link to the site from another site). This "technique" used to work with eBay, apparently.

Otherwise, it's going to be mighty quiet on here during the day!

No, i had the same problem out of work also (Live in Worcester)
