Same problems here too. Getting a too many redirects error in chrome when trying to log in.

Think the hampsters need a bit of TLC. Getting the attached every 3 or 4 clicks (had to refresh the page 5 times to be able to reply to this thread though!)

muffler

yeah, getting the old 503 intermittently for the last hour or so.

old_aussie

Likewise here

challengemaster

Getting intermittent 503's for the last 4-5 hours now. Even got one trying to post in this thread.

FloatingVoter

Just because you haven't heard about it enough already, 503 errors here too.

jimmynokia

Getting it randomly all day

mirrorwall14

Ditto

Flint Fredstone

Same problem here, on the touch site and it is very slow and full of errors.

LynnGrace

Same here. Getting 503 error message, started happening about four hours ago. Was fine earlier this morning.

The_Conductor

Progressively getting worse- I'm guessing the site uses node clustering?

PCeeeee

Me as well

michael999999

And me!

I can't even log in on my laptop.
Keep getting too many redirects message.
Also getting 503 on my phone.

Same here....high traffic load? Full DB? I'd hate o be on call with it being a Sunday and all

martyos121

Getting it often on safari for the iPad. Hope it's sorted soon, and hope it's not a huge problem for them to fix, I really take the site for granted a lot of the time lol.

pmasterson95

Its a shambles atm.

KKkitty

I can't get any further than 4 or 5 clicks without the 503 error. Then I have to close up all pages and clear the cache before I can get back on.

cml387

Dav's broken it again.

PirateShampoo

Same here all day.

ixoy

Same, including when trying to browse this very thread.

DJMG92

Same happening me!

suicide_circus

This is getting right on my raving titties

Irish Steve

Reached the point where the site is unusable for serious browsing, getting over 50% 503's on both main site and mobile site, and when it does respond, it's very slow as well.

Autosport

This is happening every second page for me

Can't log in to the site under windows and linux (tried IE, Firefox, Chrome & Epiphany): keep getting "too many redirects" error. Based in France. Searched for a solution on "google". Tried clearing cookies. Checked that they're stored for boards. Tried rebooting my router. Nothing worked. Bug from the site itself?
Oh and tried from 3 different computers.

Was already connected from yesterday on this session...

Notwork Error

Can't log in on the full or touch site, redirects and 503's. The app is working perfectly and fast but a pain in the balls in general.

foggy_lad

Using dolphin browser on android tablet and not a single error in last half hour. PC and chrome browser on tablet is not working. Also switched to mobile broadband from vodafone fibre broadband but not sure if that made any difference.

What's the link to their app?
I didn't know there was one & searched before.

It's in the Google play store, can't link for some reason.

I presume the office staff are only just back after weekend

Seve OB

was having trouble yesterday on the phone, couldn't log in and tried a couple of different browsers, the best i got was telling me the website has a redirect loop!

also got the 503 error a few times

i thought it might be my phone and something wrong with its settings (not that they were changed), but this morning is brutal on my pcm 503 errors and pages just not loading!

muffler

I think its time someone got their finger out and told us what's happening here.

Im sure the paying advertisers are jumping for joy :rolleyes:

For the sake of general education, and maybe putting peoples minds at ease...

Any HTTP errors that start with a 5, e.g. 500, 502 or in this case 503, means they're server side errors. And it also means that while there's no issue on your device, there's also nothing you can do about them either.

Client side errors start with a 4, e.g. the all too well known 404.

Good to know that Spear.

Still, there's no excuse for people not being updated on what the situation is. What would it take....half a minute, for one of the staff to update the thread here.

The_Morrigan

Has the issue been acknowledged by the office?
