Nov 21 (Reuters) - Reddit ( RDDT ) has resolved a

problem with its website, the social media company said on

Thursday after the outage impacted thousands of users for about

an hour.

The social media platform was down for thousands of users,

according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com, a day

after Reddit ( RDDT ) said it had fixed a software bug.

"We have fixed the problem and have returned to normal

operation," Reddit ( RDDT ) said on its status page on Thursday.

The outage began around 10 a.m. ET and at its peak impacted

more than 70,000 users in the United States, according to

Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports

from several sources including users.

Reddit's ( RDDT ) status page confirmed the issue with its website at

10:51 a.m. ET. The social media company did not immediately

respond to a request for comment.

The company said on Wednesday it had rolled out a fix for a

software bug that prevented tens of thousands of people from

accessing the social media platform.

Co-founded by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in 2005,

Reddit ( RDDT ) is a platform where users share links and participate in

discussions within interest-based communities called subreddits.
