WTH is going on with the website lately?

Post by PalCabral »

The availability has been impacted daily I would say. Time-outs preventing access to the pages. Is it a shaky server platform, poor software or outside attacks that are causing so much disturbance?

There are a number of threads discussing the sites intermittent issues. Hopefully they will be sorted, but they are being worked on.

Medieval torture with modern electronics, is what I'd like to use on the attackers.

I don't know why this is or if this helps. But I found that if I throw a VPN on, the site works flawlessly with some locations, and not at all with others.

Interesting. I can connect to on my phone but not on my computer. So I turned the VPN for my work on, on the computer, and now I can access the site.

Thanks for the idea. Just realized my phone will connect as long as I disconnect from my WiFi.
