We did some site maintenance

cstanton

As announced here:  Site Maintenance: 13th Jan 2023 

Let me know here if you have any problems this weekend - since weekends are usually when we see the site go down the most.

Thanks for your patience. 

Edit:

We're observing that there are regular problems approximately every 12 hours, such as at 9:30AM GMT each day the site is unresponsive. The development team and server admins are aware, fortunately the site comes back up without intervention, but we don't want it to happen at all.

Further edit:

Thanks to the fixes that went in on Friday, we've been able to identify what's contributing to the 12-hour frequency problems - the development team are implementing security measures to prevent it.

  • All times GMT.

    • On my iPad: at 9:49 clicked on the link in the notification and, eventually, the browser page responded with a cannot open page because server stopped responding.
    • On my iPad: just after that, tried from a separate tab which was open on the home page; the thread opened ok and I tried typing this response but realise I couldn’t because the editor controls were missing, including the submit button
    • On my iPhone: tried accessing the email link which resulted in a partially loaded page - no real content at all.
    • On my iMac: booted this up (around 9:56 now) and clicked the notification link.  Page eventually opened after 2 minutes or so.  Also tried from the home page, and the page eventually opened after a couple of minutes.
    • On my iMac: clicked on the reply button and an editor box opened with controls but pretty much straightaway the blue “An error occurred…” box started opening.  3 times in all.
    • On my iMac: clicked refresh and the main message plus Top Replies were refreshed, but nothing else except the 3 grey dots.  10:03 by this time.  Took around 2 mins to display the responses.
    • On my iMac: clicked on the “Reply” button and the editor box loaded without controls or submit button.  This was on the page opened by clicking the email notification.
    • On my iMac: after a minute or so, the editor control appeared.

    At 10:22 on my iPad, clicking reply results in a fully loaded editor control.
