Since the show started, I have not been able to access the C4 site or forums.
The site wont come up through http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother

And when I go to the C4 site, the /microsites address brings up the sign up for the pre-series pass and communtiy forum only main page.

I have cleared my cache and cookies and all that and have the site set to check for a new page each visit.
I have tried pressing refresh as well but to no avail.

Has anyone had this trouble.
Plus could somebody post me a few links to internal parts of the site such as maybe a news story link or nominations link to see if I can get in through one of them?.

Thanks, I'm wondering is it just me as some people appear to have been getting to it but I can't at all. I haven't yet been able to check out the teenie BB board over there. I am interested in what the reaction is to this show over there, but alas I can't get to the forum either.
Presumably some people are getting in?.

Can someone post a link to a news story on there to see if I can access it with that?.

Well, TVDX, I've just clicked on your link in both Internet Explorer and Firefox and it works OK for me. The Channel 4 BB site has been unreliable over the past few days, though, and apparently not really coping with the traffic it's been getting.

I'll have to keep trying I suppose. Is it possible UK IP's are getting preference?.

Doesn't seem to work. I'm going to try Mozilla Sigurd, that might be what I need to do.

The site's been working fine for me any time I've gone to look at the news stories. Couldn't tell you about their forum though as I've not tried it...
and no intentions of trying it either!

Ah well, that's good. The Ch 4 site was accessible for me with both IE and Firefox, so I don't know why you had a problem. However, I don't really understand these things anyway.

Glad you've got it sorted, though.
