Timeout when trying to access forum

And it continues

I was getting it fairly frequently awhile ago but haven't had any since last week. I do use encrypted DNS (AdGuard) and iCloud Private Relay and AdGuard (at the OS level).

So I assumed maybe CloudFlare thought I was less normal or more suspicious and went out of its way to block me.

You do anything special jz0309? lol

Running adguard, the free version, on all my devices, but I am also a contributor here so not sure what impact that may or may not have. And I used plain vanilla Safari

And then of course I have the "magic touch" 🙄 😛

This one's different as I was on cellular and not WiFi, and I had excellent connectivity

Have you tried raising a fault with your ISP? It seems to - for the most part - be "just you" so I wonder whether there's something broken between your ISP and the MR servers.

It's important to note that the message itself isn't completely accurate: it states "Our server is not responding" but it really means "your browser either couldn't connect to our server or didn't get a response from it". There could be any number of reasons for this.

Edit: Actually, I was conflating that message with a different one that appears when a connection can't be made at all. Yours has the ray ID which means it's at least making it to Cloudflare.

it is only MR where I have this issue, and furthermore, last week The I was on cellular (had 800+Mbps, VZW) and this issue occurred.
At home I'm on Frontier FiOS with 1/1 Gbs.
 
I’ve experienced slow loading pages numerous times the last 2-3 weeks. I don’t have the patience to wait for the timeout error. If I page doesn’t load in ~5 seconds, I go elsewhere. The WWW is a large place after all.

I got that same message mid-day yesterday and the forums remain slow this morning, so I don't think it is just you.

yea, I think a lot of folks do what the other poster said above.
And funny that I did not see any slowness today but just a couple minutes ago got another timeout, not bothering posting screenshots anymore though
