BladeForums loading problem

[metalhead357]

When I try to pull up Blade Forums nine times out of ten it doesn't work and I get the following message.
I thought my internet might be bogged down but I have the highest package just running two computers and a few phones so that can't be it. Everything else loads fine so I was wondering if this was just me or if anyone else had this issue? Thanks for any help in advance.

Things like this are usually posted in the Tech subforum, and a lot of times you will be able to see if anyone else is having issues.

I've had the same thing pop up as you did, and there have been a couple times I will get a " Bad request ". It seems to be working much better now though

Let's get this to the right forum.

I too have had some issues like this lately.

I've had problems loading the forum every day for the last week. One day I couldn't get it to load for a couple of hours.

I'm also experiencing difficulties. Forum downtime, slow page loads/reloads, very slow post submissions...and a much increased amount of dreaded double taps... This seems to be worsening over all, but there are times when it isn't bad, then others where I just walk away because everything becomes very sluggish. This is happening on both my laptop (Win07, Chrome/Firefox/IE8) & phone (Android, stock browser).

Problems come and go for me over last three days.

Have been having problems with page loads/reloads for about a week. Widows 7.

It's been pretty slow for me in last week on my iPad as well.

We're trying to track this down. The problems are ongoing and happening across multiple servers.

Turns out there was a coordinated bot attack that hit most of our servers and was eating up CPU & swap file space. Fun! Firewall has been updated

 

[RevDevil]

Much better now.

 

[Jaxx]

Thanks, Spark! Definitely improved performance today. :thumbup:

 

[Ken44]

Thanks, Spark. Working great today.

 

[roughedges]

Thanks, Spark. Working great today.

Same here. It was getting pretty bad but no problems today. It is nice to see that Spark takes site security and such seriously.

Not here. I just spent all day. Atleast the past 4 hours doing one of best sales threads ever. I hit preview which worked. went to edit and when i hit backspace instead of backing up. it took me back in pages to where I sent a pm earlier this morning. all lost

somebody shoot me

 

[Ken44]

Yesterday was better, but today the loads/reloads are very slow again.

 

[jill jackson]

Locked out for about ten hours until about an hour ago.

Locked out for about ten hours until about an hour ago.

Yeah we had a little outage there.......Maybe Spark was doing some site DIY?
