are you using the opera browser?

we have been doing a lot of server tuning and optimization to allow the servers to handle the peak hour loads. It is quite a complicated and time consuming process, therefore there are times when you might experience minor issues with the site.

p/s we are aware of the main page dishing out gibberish on opera browsers, we will be looking into it soon.

p/s the earlier outage was a connection issue at the datacenter which was beyond our control.

p/s server loads during peak hours (> 1100 users online) is still an issue we're trying to fix.

you might want to either provide a screenshot of the page with the 404 error (so that we know exactly which page it was) and whether the 404 was issued by the Lowyat.NET server or somewhere in between.

If your page timed out, then we might have an explanation, but a 404 basically means you stumbled upon a link which doesnt exist on the server.

update: wkkay, the BrowserMatch directive has been committed. Opera users, please update on whether you are able to view the frontpage now.

the problem with opera is fixed. seem like opera can't parse compressed php content without some extra instructions.

unfortunately, we cannot test site compatibilities with beta/release candidates version of browsers just yet. We do not have the means nor resources to keep up with constant beta changes implemented in pre-released browsers.

If the problem still occurs in the final release of IE7, then we will look into it. Beta/RC software is released to test compatibility with real world applications. There is a higher possibility that the browser is buggy rather then the site.

are you still having this problem?
