Forum meltdown

[Afrank]

I got a couple timeouts at different times through the day also. Once when submitting a post, another when sending a PM I think. Just reloaded the page though and it was fine again, so not too big a deal for me at the moment.

Hmmm I have several times gotten a

504 Gateway Time-out

The server didn't respond in time.

when I try to report a post...

So excuse me if I report the same post several times. I don't know whether you receive them or not.

Got two "504 Gateway Time-out - the server didn't respond in time" errors trying to log on at about 00:05 GMT.

 

[Netserk]

I got the same when I tried to open the Armstrong thread, but after some time it wasn't a problem any longer.

 

[Jspear]

Ya wasn't too big of an issue. Was only reporting it because right now the form is very slow....In 10 hours things will be very busy here. Hopefully nothing goes down.

 

[Daniel Benson]

Hey. not much I can do over the weekend as devs dont work on those days. I'll ping them a message though and make sure they're aware of the problem

Lot's of 504 today. Let's hope the forum will be ready for the Tour.

doesnt seem likely. if the forum can barely deal with the dauphine then its going to break down completely with the increased traffic.

i guess it will be velorooms, or bikeretard

Yeah - me too. But having the same problem at VR! It's like, wtf?

And it isn't other websites at the same time - so I'm quite sure it isn't my machine or internal network. Besides, I do all this stuff on linux. Not malware-proof, but still less prone.

Yes I just hope that some of the anti-sky fans don't think it is a conspiracy on the part of CN to stifle Froome debate (or indeed Contador debate as it's looking atm )

Not sure if it's related but I don't seem to be receiving any email notifications anymore (yes, I checked the SPAM folder!) ?

Velrooms too!? Then it is what I feared...Sky has finally figured out how to bypass any websites security and is slowly putting in place it's plan of destruction of all sites that doubt them!

I would guess that it is something to do with the volume of traffic. I'm on a new, quality laptop with Win 8.1, and am having no issues with any other site. There were a few of us posting in the WC topic in the Cafe last night, where I experienced none of the issues that I am now -

regular 504 Gateway timeouts

avatars not loading correctly

very slow navigation between forums and pages

I can't imagine how quickly the forums are likely to crash during the Tour, when traffic will (as we know) be substantially higher than now.

Reporting function results in 504 every time.

Hahahaha! Oh, yeah. That!

me neither!

are other people?

 

[webvan]

Looks like that feature has been deactivated, possibly to reduce traffic while the issues are being sorted?

 

[Afrank]

I've passed along the email notification problem along with the continued 504's and reporting not working to Dan.

I concur wholeheartedly

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I concur wholeheartedly

can you concur unwholeheartedly?

yes..........................

Today, about 1am GMT, lots of problems.

Yep, I experienced it at the same time. The most baffling thing is that the traffic was low at that point, so it's not that.
