MacRumors acting wonky past couple of days

[BugeyeSTI]

Last couple of days the site hasn't worked very well. Slow rendering of pages or pages like this:

Anybody having similar issues? It's only happening on this website, no issues anywhere else..

 

[Boyd01]

I got some sluggish response from the site yesterday afternoon/evening. It was intermittent, and not much of a problem. Just now got the same thing, but when the page finally loaded, here's a portion of what I got, which is apparently an un-formatted version of the editor at the bottom of the page.

Reloaded the page and now it's working again.

hmm... that message means the server isn't responding.

If it keeps happening let me know here

Been getting errors off and on today and yesterday too. I assumed it was just a lot of traffic due to the Vision Pro launch. I've seen the error pictured here and the Cloudflare Always Online page shown higher up in the thread.

looking into it

I'm gettin it this morning also, took me a couple tries to reply to this.

 

[rm5]

Still happening. Sometimes I can't even reply because the site just won't load when I hit "post rely." Also, the site sometimes just won't load at all.

 

[b17777]

Still happening

...Maybe this is because of the vision pro launch ?

Too many people posting multiple times, every story, that they're not going to buy it ?

I'm getting the site to load and function via Firefox today, but not via my Safari -- some hiccups via the latter recently, but now it is 'no way'.

Exactly the same for me too 🤔

Firefox works for me too... because it is ignoring the security warning that Chrome throws up.

Chrome browser stopped loading MacRumors Forum page yesterday. Today it gives a security warning about HTTPS.

I could not load the forums 12 hours ago.

Exactly.

As did safari.

I could not load the forums 12 hours ago.

I couldn't obtain access to the forums (to the site, yes), but to the forums, no, not for over 24 hours, and it still isn't ideal.

For many threads, the formatting does not display correctly under Firefox 115.07 ESR. Here is one such example and it occurs from page 3 onwards in this discussion.

I've accessed the same thread from Opera on my phone and it displays correctly. I closed and restarted Firefox but the issue persists.

Firefox most recent version. Ventura. Norway. No problems.

Could this have to do with where one is located in the world?

Yes but there are different versions of Firefox. There is the regular version and ESR.

Could this have to do with where one is located in the world?

Doubtful. As a test I just browsed the problematic threads on regular Firefox and they display correctly but not in ESR.

I can access the forums in Safari 17.3 on Monterey but not Safari 11.1.2 on El Capitan. I used to be able to access the forum with older versions of Safari.

 

[tsialex]

Plus one for the people having issues with past versions of Safari, can't load the forums anymore with Catalina Safari, but works with Monterey. Works fine with Firefox.

 

[Macky-Mac]

I've had to use Firefox since Safari still isn't loading the forums for me......front page loads, but nothing else.

I get this message:

Page could not be loaded​

The requested page could not be loaded.

• Check your internet connection and try again.
• Certain browser extensions, such as ad blockers, may block pages unexpectedly. Disable these and try again.
• MR Forums may be temporarily unavailable. Please check back later.

 

[b17777]

I'm on Safari, and today everything is snappy. No more issues for me.

 

[picpicmac]

I can only use Firefox (version 78.15.0esr) to read the Forums. Chrome still throws up the HSTS issue.

I posted something witty and didn't immediately get likes for it.

Something is clearly wrong with this place...
