New Forum Bug Reports

[NickFitz]

I've been asked to investigate the cause of the hangs which result in both the JavaScript errors and the CloudFlare timeout messages (they're the same thing at heart) so with a bit of luck things will be sorted out in a few days

Good job I'm on holiday this week so I have the time to work on it

Of the 13k "users" about 10k have never made a post.

And looking at some old posts, Specifically In General, some haven't made a post in 10 years or more.

Where are they now?

SallyAnne.

Xenophon.

Threaded.

etc. etc. etc.

Expect there'll be a purge of retired old fart contactors to cut the number of users.

Seriously, admin, this website is becoming a bit of a joke:

Particularly when it's a site of 13,000 IT experts

But yeah, it's getting seriously annoying now.

When it's up, the same issues keep appearing with no apparent fixes on the horizon. I might consider flouncing

Thanks for this - we will have a look why this is happening and get it fixed.
Looks like it is a Cloudflare 524 error. Apologies all - will sort.

I was just going to post and ask why the forum is in such a sorry state and found this thread. I get the same 524 error often, also 50% of the time the forum simply doesn't load and I get a timeout. What actually happened to lead to this?

Just posted a response on the mortgage affordability thread and got the following...

Error while saving content: %1$s

Error information: " 524 error "

Yep I'm getting this as well and when I open other windows I get cloudflare problems. Seems to work fine until I post which takes forever and I get the same error. After that everything doesn't load. Have to quit chrome and start again.

I posted a new thread in General. It took forever to post then gave me a 524 error, and now no one can read it.

If people learn to use 'Latest Activity' it's possible to read the post.
