Website glitchy?

Wasn't sure where to put this post but hopefully this will work...

Anyone else having trouble posting to/navigating the forum? It's been really buggy for me since sometime yesterday, sporadically very slow and/or with a lot of time-outs. Cache has been cleared, all software is current, and I'm not having difficulties with any other sites.

Not a complaint, just a check to see if the problems are on the RS end or mine.

Also on this side of the pond, think problems are solved now.

Yep, looks like the bugs have been fixed now.
Thanks, all!

Yes, it was intermittent this morning (Thursday morning European time). Sometimes it worked, sometimes it took a long time then gave me a blank page. No problems with any other website.
I think it is OK now. The Webmaster probably got into work (West USA time), and gave it a kick.

No problem (yet) this morning but yesterday had issues, timed out a couple of times waiting for cache and I had no problems on other websites.

Hi,
Yes, we were having some trouble yesterday. We did our best to manage it, though there were some interruptions in our service. Today should be much better, though there may still be some hiccups as everything comes back to full speed.

Thanks!

Thanks much for the info, Webmaster. Just happy to know that it wasn't gremlins in my laptop!

I thought it was the computer gremlins again (time for a trip to Data Doctors) but now my phone is acting up too. Glad to hear it’s a known problem on the site and not just me.

I'm having problems as well--pages loading slowly, and can't access the All Topics page at all (get an application error message.)

Totally glitchy here tonight...super slow, pages crash, and now all of these very old posts are bumped up on many of the country pages...marked as posts that have comments for today but the most recent comments are a month to 6 months old. Boo.

I'm finding it better this morning (UK time).

It's definitely not you! It looks like one of our database hosts is still experiencing some connectivity issues that's causing the site to run slowly or time out. Our fixes seem to have partially remediated the issue and we're continuing to troubleshoot.

Thanks Nikky.

It has slowed to a crawl again...
