Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Load balancing fallen over?

    Or one of a clustered server gone down?

    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. ;)

    I can see pages now but can only log in using the iPhone app.
    In any browser I get redirect loop when I try to log in

    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.
    Yeah, I mean, we all pay good money for this service!

    Oh, wait...

    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.

    Yay!! I couldn't even get logged in to complain until now!

    Seems to be ok now though. Hopefully.

    Boards hq are on the case, I'm sure they'll pop in here at some point that they're in the office.

    Hello folks, sorry about the lack of updates here but as a couple of astute people pointed out - we couldn't log in either :o, hence the updates on Twitter and Facebook and not here. As you may have noticed, everything is back to normal now.

    I don't understand what happened myself but we'll post a more detailed answer than "It broke but now it's fixed" when we have that for you - probably not until tomorrow though. Thanks for all the reports and for your patience.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    I'm still getting the 503 sometimes. Also the site is running quite slow, pages taking upwards of 20 secs to load, and sometimes not at all. I'm accessing the website from the Netherlands but that shouldn't really be an issue.

    On the bright side, at least it's a normal working day, unlike the weekend, so attention to it should be prompt.

    There's been no indication that they know what went wrong the first time around so why would it be any different this time?

    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...
    I came in here to "complain" last week.

    I didn't come back to say the problem was solved in the middle of the afternoon last Monday. So I do it now :cool:.
