Is the forum running slow?

[Don Pedro Dinero]

It's been taking a while for the threads to load. At first I thought it was my connection, but I see that when I access other sites they load right away. Now I get this message.



When I tried to post this thread I got that message several times.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes, the forum is running extremely slow at the moment. I do not know what happened as when you click on any link, it takes a lot of time to open the page and sometimes it takes too long time that its timed out.
The same is the case, when I try to post it is too slow.

Initially, i also restarted my internet router but later I found that it is only that bitcoin talk is slow and the rest of the internet is working fine.

I can confirm this, as the browser tells me a security server certificate error, so it is not a DDoS, but rather a problem with the site’s server or in the connection between BTT server and the database.

[PX-Z]

Yep, i faced cf error page too while trying to reply here and refresh the page for several times. This usually happens on weekends like other downtime of the forum.

EDIT: Now it looks okay, i can access other posts/boards faster than earlier.

I am also facing the same issue, and I believe the forum is loading very slow for everyone. I think there is too much load on the server of the forum. This can mainly be an issue because of the web host. I haven't faced that certificate error but surely the forum is loading very slow for me. I confirm that it's taking minutes to load a page.

[MusaPk]

The forum has really slowed down. I am also getting this 504 error, perhaps the forum is under another DDoS attack. Perhaps it might be good idea to move the forum to some more powerful dedicated server or update the security arsenal around the forum. The current security mechanism has continuously been breached.  



Edit: Forum has resumed it's normal functionality now.

It seems like i'm not the only one experiencing this, i thought this was a problem with my internet network, it turns out the BitcoinTalk server was slow.  hopefully this can be finished quickly.

[shield132]

The problem is fixed right now, I don't experience issues but I confirm that today, even some minutes ago, Bitcointalk had a problem, it was loading very slowly and sometimes the server was shut down.
By the way, am I the only one who experiences problems on Bitcointalk very regularly? The server is shut down very often but gladly it's only for some minutes. I hope everything is okay with the forum, it will be good if theymos or forum moderators explain why this happens so often (probably once a week).

Same I also experience it, at first I experience this. The image above when I tried accessing the forum through my notifier, so actually thought may be was was having network issues then try using my webs to search and was working fine. Then I noticed that it was the forum serber that was slow.

yeah same with me , I experience exact thing after I was able to access the forum I try replying a thread but it keep on showing this exact thing  please try again. If you come to this error screen, report error to an administrator, but I guess is working fine now because if it was still on I'm not sure we would be able to create or reply this post.

[Churchillvv]

Its now a very regular experience with me.

when I open threads for some minutes may reading through it or trying to type, within that time if you want to post it appears and then I have to refresh the page or click the post button several times before it can finally go through.

Maybe that is what theymos has been working for some time now as a result of the increase in users of the forum.

[Marvelman]

I had no issues here, everything seems to be loading up at normal speed for me. If others are having trouble too, then maybe the forum is having a hiccup, but everything seems smooth on my end. Or maybe the admins have already fixed it?

Hmm, if you say so, but: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence".

He already mentioned it, but there is no solution to whatever causes it as he doesn't even know what's the reason

It was the same weird thing which caused a few hours of downtime 6-12 months ago, and I think it's what causes the few minutes of downtime people observe every few weeks. I've never been able to figure out what causes it. It looks like the network gets cut between the web server and the database for a while. It seems to always happen at around the same time, so I suppose it's probably some automated maintenance process messing something up, but I don't have anything running at this time, so I wonder if it's something in the web-host's networking infrastructure, or something like that. It's difficult to diagnose, since it happens rarely, and usually when I'm sleeping.

Anyhow, a few hours of downtime might be good once in a while, would make some understand to not take eveything for granted.

I also feel it's a bit slower than usual, although i don't see message "Database error" so far. Although when accessing this forum with Tor, Cloudflare occasionally show security check even though i don't click "All" page. I'd speculate bullish cryptocurrency market lead to more visitor and spammer.

[lovesmayfamilis]

It looks like the problem has been resolved. In any case, everything works fine for me. And yes, it is rightly said that we should not panic when we see some problems with loading. This has become a frequent occurrence, but I am glad that everything is resolved quickly.
The time when the forum makes us understand that there is an ordinary life besides the virtual one.

There is this network provider company in my country that have been experiencing network issues since last week but this week was better but when I tried to access the forum this morning, it was not going through and I assumed it was a network issue from my end until I opened another app on my phone and everything was like working perfectly, I could not have imagine that the error is from the forum until I am seeing this post now, thanks.

I am saying this because in past few months the forum has gone down several times. If theymos can just review the security apparatus of the forum, otherwise all good.

[Xal0lex]

There was a warning in the "news" line a few days ago that the forum would be closed for a few hours for maintenance and bug fixes. Maybe this event is the reason for such work of the forum. Although I had the forum as working fast and without problems, and it is working now.

Down for just a short time frame is not a reason for a valid concern such as security. As shared already by @xalolex, forum is undergoing maintenance and bug fixes which is totally normal for all services online.

I’m experiencing slow loading too but only when I click the “all” button on the thread page and not when regularly opening thread. I’m not sure if the “all” button is very slow to load in general or this issue just happening to my browser only.

[TryNinja]

My bot detected a downtime of ~13 minutes then ~22 minutes, plus a few missed heartbeats. Not a big of a deal.

[Crypto Library]

Oh! It is no only me who is facing this problem, I thought that the problem is only in my case, I thought that my ISP is cheating me, I complained to them. 
Although I am not facing the problem now, yesterday and the day before yesterday I faced a lot of loading, which became a disturbing to my work a lot. I think if you are still facing this problem then there is may an issue in your ISP network. Other wise I am now browsing the forum smoothly.
