Site Down Sometimes??
« on: October 15, 2025, 05:58:52 AM »
Recently, I've had many occasions when an error comes up about the site not being available.  I forget all the details of what it says.  Sometimes I can view some posts and then it happens.  Sometimes it gets fixed shortly afterwards.  The last 2 days I wasn't able to get in at all.  Tonight everything is working fine.

Yes, it's been pretty bad and seems to be getting worse. Sometimes it says Service Unavailable.. Maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Other times it says Resource Limit is reached. Not good.

The error messages change pretty frequently but the outcome is the same. Sometimes i can get access quickly. Other times it's hours. Sometimes more.

Yes, we've addressed this a few times in the past few months and it's resurfaced again. And as I've said before, the frustrating thing is our host has no idea why it's happening.  [easter_rolleyes] [easter_huh]

The only thing to do is repeatedly try to get through because you will get through eventually, as evidenced by the fact that I've been posting as usual. Sometimes you get through without any errors and are able to do multiple things without any problems...

Case in point, I've been having absolutely no problems today.  [easter_smiley]

Well MB, thats all fine and good for you...but it took me 5 tries between just getting logged in and getting to this page just now. So all is NOT well for members. I'll be spending a whole lot less time on here if the error messages continue cause its not really worth the hassle of umpteen attempts.

Still working fine for me, so I don't know what to say, particularly when there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it.  [easter_sad]

Happens with me on-and-off (it did just now opening the respond thing).  For me, if I refresh, it does open the page.  Sometimes I only have to do it once; sometimes a couple times, but it will open.

Today was one of the best days in awhile. Hopefully, it will continue.

This is 2 days in a row with no problems, so I'll echo that "hopefully, it will continue."

It happened again, so I copied the error messages.  Then I tried back now and all was fine.  Here's what it said:

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Additionally, a 503 Service Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Today was really bad - at least for me.

[pointing-up]  For me today was half-and-half - I had no trouble posting, but I did have a bit of trouble reading...
