HELLO 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

 
Not discounting OPs experience but just providing feedback, no issues on either my MBP or my iPhone8. I rarely read MR forums on my phone so spent 5-10 minutes randomly tapping around.

Have you tried any/all of the following: restart device, clear all safari history and website data, temporarily disable ad blockers (if you are using), etc?

Yep tried all the above, happening on my iPhone, iPad and Mac. 🤦‍♂️

Most times the forum won’t even load properly, can’t click on anything, have to exit the browser and try a few more times so I can access the forums, no issues on main site or any other websites.

 
I have been stopping by the forum on and off all day on my Mac, have not seen any problems at all. You mentioned using a content blocker in another thread, could that be the problem?

No content blocker on my Mac, having the same exact problem. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️
 
Similar issues here; site stalling and returning a "connection timed out" error. I'm using Edge on Windows, although I don't believe this to be a browser issue.
definitely not a browser issue, tried a different browser on my phone, same issues 🤦‍♂️

seems to be a server issue. 🤔
 
Anyone looking into this? These forums are starting to become unusable 🥺🤦‍♂️

Every other site I visit works perfectly fine. 🤦‍♂️

It seems to be a regional issue. I've had a nosey at the IP addresses of everyone experiencing the problem and we're all on different ISPs but are in the same part of the world. At a guess the problem is with a local CDN node.

I've raised the issue with the site admins.

For colo= I get:

colo=MEL

Just before, I had another timeout issue, and I did see a ‘cloudflare’ notification. I live in Australia so I’m not sure if others are living in the generic Oceania region.
Same here collo=MEL got a server timeout
