Message board down

Post by JButky »

Is it just me, or do others get a message board not available quite often?

Probably once a week, but usually just hitting "refresh" on the browser will bring it back up properly.

I think it appears when the board admin is doing maintenance.

They must do it a lot when I stop to visit. Tried refresh many times, even CTRL F5 clearing the cache results the same.
Happens at least twice a day..

Sometimes the routing to the site can cause problems
I've been unable to get to the site because of that when I knew the site was up and running

I have regular issues with this. Most of the time I can refresh and it works, but sometimes I have to wait a bit. It's never a smooth experience.

Yes same with me. Some days it starts working and any thing you click on gives the unavailable meassage. If I go away to another site but come back immediately some pages will work again, but then it just becomes unavailable.

Really annoying when you've read something you want to respond to and the next click goes unavailable...

Indeed it is happening frequently with me too.

It just did and I tried to clear cookies and history in my browser, which didn't work.

Now, a few minutes later, I'm here...

It can be many kinds of problems, but most likely resides on the server side and around it.

I have had the same issues. I've been trying to log in for a few days now and this is the first time I've gotten through.

I've noticed that - on the login page, when it says " Board is currently unavailable"
The login button is still active, if we click on it we go thru the login normally.

It happens when you are already logged in. logout, log in still the same...

We should be migrating to a new server within the next 2-3 weeks. Hopefully that solves the issues.

Today though, the log in page said " Board is temporarily unavailable"
I hit the Login button and logged in normally

Let's hope so. It was down all day for me yesterday until evening. Logging out and back in was all I could do.

Wow, today it's all working here!

If something was done, it was really good, because it seems problems are gone :-)

Don't know about that. I haven't been able to get in since Tuesday. I did this morning. It let me look at your post and as soon as I hit reply, it went down. So this is the first chance I've had to get in for a couple days.

-------update-----

I Just hit submit on this post and it says board unavailable. I used my browser back button to get back. Maybe it will let me post this..
