    Did boards ever support IPv6?

    I don't think so, but I see that a ping -6 resolves to an IPv6 address. Maybe it's just not implemented yet?

    We do support IPv6 but there's an issue with it at the minute. I've asked our sysadmin to take a look

    It makes the site as slow as **** on IPv6 enabled clients as it tries v6 first.

    I understand there is a problem but as I've said already; we are looking into it. The AAAA records will be be removed tomorrow if it's going to take a while to resolve

    Thanks,

    Boards.ie should have IPv6 connectivity again. Could those with IPv6 enabled networks who were having issues please confirm?

    Thanks,

    Danny
