    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.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    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...

    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.

    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.

    I presume the office staff are only just back after weekend

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    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!

    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.

    Just cause I felt like posting and because mostly every time I tried yesterday, I got 503 too. :)

    @Spears Thanks for the info. - I'm not taking the pi$$ or trying to be funny, I don't know much about computers, short of switching them on. ;)

    It's weird that they acknowledged reports to the Twitter account but never posted anything here about it?

    That's a silly reply. It doesn't cost anything to inform the thousands of users that there is a problem.

    Maybe the reason the staff didn't post an update here is because they couldn't get on to post :pac:

    That being said in the last 12-18 months there's been a steady decline in the amount of interaction here and seems more of a wasteland of people reporting issues. I hope it's just because the folks are heavily investing their time into new boards running on the API and slicing more tentacles off the monster that is vBulletin.
