Barleywine Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 I've been having quite a bit of trouble with the forum today. It can take me half-minute to navigate between panes, and I sometime get thrown out into content that seems all scrambled, even though it's clearly from this site. I'm not having difficulty anywhere else on the web, just here.
PathWalker Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 I've been having very long delays for a couple of days, sometimes just black pages, or just the background. Just this site for me also
Little Fang Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 I've checked the backend server stats and all appears fine, but should this persist I'll contact the host this coming week to look into it. I am also experiencing it.
katrinka Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Middling here. It was running slow for a few days and I had to close my browser and re-open it. But it's fine now. I never got the pages of blackness and scrambling, though.
bastetly Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Seems ok now. Couple of days of blank pages tho. ETA Aaaand the pages are still loading quite slowly 3/15/20. Edited March 15, 2020 by bastetly
Arania Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Same issue here, pages hardly load to the point where I can reply, and it takes ages for anything to load. Impossible to upload images.
Little Fang Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Talking with support but it's not very helpful. Continue to monitor and post if you notice times it's happening, I get off work wednesday.
Barleywine Posted March 17, 2020 Author Posted March 17, 2020 It seems to happen for me mostly in the afternoon EST, so I'm wondering if its related to server traffic. I haven't gotten the scrambled pages for a couple of days.
Endy Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 It's been happening for me, too, but at all times of day. Pages take forever to load or just never finish loading
joy Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 yep same here like @Endy. I suspect it is because everybody is home around the world with little to nothing to do.... Server's around the world probably have heavier traffic than normal....
Arania Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Yeah sometimes it is fine, then it starts being bad again.
Little Fang Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Support said it was the images. I might remove the Deck to Check widget and see how we fare.
katrinka Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) It's happened to me a few more times, both on the phone and laptop. The page freezes while loading and just sits there. But if I close the browser and open it again, things are fine. This all makes me suspect some kind of thing trying to attach itself, but my adblock or something is fighting it off? It's similar to facebook in a way. I normally keep a lot of tabs open so I don't HAVE to wait for sites to load, but facebook borks if I leave it open too long. It's similar here. So maybe it's caused by some kind of trackers? IDK. Edited March 19, 2020 by katrinka
Arania Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Pages are still scrambled,too. I had a giant forum logo on screen this morning and nothing else loaded.
gregory Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Wow. OK - this page is taking an age to load - but none of the others on this site....
gregory Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Anyone still getting this ? - Raggy has done some work to see if it helps....
MoonGypsy Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 i am having the same challenges...taking FOREVER for pages to load.

Barleywine Posted March 24, 2020 Author Posted March 24, 2020 I couldn't navigate the site at all last night and had to leave. Kept getting the big logo and what looked like a menu tree with no hot buttons. It's OK again this morning.
Raggydoll Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 We have contacted the forum support team and they are working on it. We acknowledge that this is a huge inconvenience and we are sorry about that. Thank you all for your patience!
gregory Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 What is very odd is that the other invision forum, I am on is working just fine. It seems specific to us. In case that helps them at all.
katrinka Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 EVERYTHING seems to be working at other sites I visit. Here, I've been getting a thing where I click things and nothing happens at all. It's time consuming, I have to close the tab and open it again, open it in a different browser, all kinds of things just to get to a thread or PM and reply.
