We apologise for any inconvenience.















For the love of all that is holy is there no way to get this site to function more reliably?


Nearly every time I am on Bladeforums I get this message so often I just give up, and go to other sites.


It has been an on going, long time problem that seems to be getting no better.
 
I've been getting that the last few days as well. I'm curious if the problem is simply server load, or there are actual database problems.
 
I get those, and cloudflare errors a couple times a week, but since I'm in Aussieland I figured it was just a routing problem.

Is there anything we can do to help track the drops to improve it?
 
I've had them for the last 5 evenings...could one of the mods please respond to this thread and let us know what is going on? Thanks.
 
Me too, it's been going on for months and months for me. Late evening, and Saturdays/Sundays seem to cause me more trouble.
 
I seem to get these around 11pm central time -

I suspect that the database backup is running at that time every night - or there is some other IO intensive job in one of the slices on the host.

Interesting, I'm not getting alarms from the host on it, but we just changed firewall settings to try to mitigate some of the cloudflare issues. We'll dig into it further!
 
It happens pretty regularly just after 11:00 pm central time zone. Usually just lasts 5 minutes or so.
 
Had an error around 5:15 AM Eastern Standard Time, lasted about 5 mins.

Same deal.

Error 524 Ray ID: 27f50c406ee923a8 • 2016-03-06 10:17:21 UTC
A timeout occurred

Yes, every morning lately in the 5 - 5:30 AM ET time frame.
 
It is a daily occurance. I just had to take an hour break.

Just about very single night. 9pm or so, the site quits. I just go to other sites. But it is right during the time I actually have free to actually relax.
 
Just got the error screen for another 15 minutes, after about an hour off before that.
 
Been trying to respond to a thread, the website times out and will not post my response. 10 page thread.

This is the time it seems to always happen to me.
I have clicked on the "report" button so many times and nothing changes.
I just give up and come back later to see the site working properly again.
 
I experienced this problem several times already. I don't think I will be getting a paid membership here if bladeforums has such problems on a daily basis.
