    Hey there,
    Just need a bit of input from all you kind people.
    I've been noticing that some areas aren't able to access the blogs.

    http://www.iktib.com/

    Could you please go to the main page and click on each blog listed (10 in total) and then post here with your country and if they work?

    I'm currently in Bahrain and most blogs do not show up, except ONE (hanna.iktib.com) works fine. This is extremely odd and I have no explanation!

    I've established that the UK can view the blogs fine as well.

    So to summarize, please post in this format.

    Country: Country name
    Working: Yes! (or No!) (or Some!)

    Kindest regards.
    Kei

    Well, the Linky extension for FF made this easy. :)

    I could see blogragios, delicious, and hana. The rest were "server not found. I'm in Canada.

    thank you all so very much for this help.
    I've now established that this is not an isolated incident. I can only hope that this is an issue with the the build of MU that I am using.

    Has anybody ever encountered such a strange issue?

    I will duplicate Iktib with another host. I hope it wont be too bothersome for you all to try again later?

    hello again everyone.

    I've gone and updated and moved to another server.
    Could you all perform the same tests please?

    Many thanks in advance.

    (side note: does anyone know how to block blog spammers? This one guy keeps signing up to blogs and spamming)

    Try SpamKarma 2 plugin?

    Good job :) All pages load for me. Load is slightly slow but it's probably b/c of distance + I don't know the speed of my school's wireless. But yea, works fine!

    SK2 only stops comment spam, not signups. Best thing to do is block the class C of the spammer.

    thank you all for the help and suggestions.

    It seems that the problem had to do with the host.

    I'll be intergrated http://www.widgx.org onto http://www.iktib.com and that will help ease finding a reliable uploading source.

    ^_^
