That awkward moment when you come to Feedback to post about 503 errors...

...but you can't, because of the 503 errors.

That awkward moment when you miss the existing thread that you can't see due to 503 errors 😅

All those... moments... will be lost in time... like... pages... to 503 errors...

The site is nearly impossible to use at the moment

Server hamster on it's last legs?

If I'm not mistaken, a while back Dav mentioned that there were major changes in the pipeline for the whole site... so maybe they're in the middle of replacing those hamsters... A hamster hand-over, if you will. Pure speculation on my part, of course.

Maybe we need to stick Dav and Gordon on the wheel to replace them. Though they won't quiet encourage that cute cuddly feeling that the hamsters give us.

Yes, I've heard of the "version 2" that some of the devs have remarked on, but I'd doubt the switchover would be done at the weekend, but rather during the week. Also, it'd be a planned switchover with notice to the users, to ensure that it's Twitter and Facebook accounts aren't plagued with people moaning about downtime.

Getting 503 errors constantly now.

Testing, perhaps? Ok, I'm clutching at straws, now... but it's better than the alternative, another hacker, like a few years back! :eek:

Maybe the old hamsters have gone on strike...

Still getting a 503.
I'm cancelling my subscription and want a refund ....:)...or I would if I paid a subscription.

Maybe that's what happens when Boards.ie installs Windows 10... :eek:

Can we sue Microsoft for disrupting our service?

New Home

It's your god-given right as an American citizen to sue whomever you like... Oh... wait...

Thanks for your patience folks. As you may have noticed, things are back to normal now. We'll have a more detailed update about what happened for you tomorrow.

Just to clarify it had nothing to do with the new version of the site, that is being tested at the moment without any issues to the current site and you will be given PLENTY of notice when we are switching over, don't worry about that.

So much awkward in here...

Let me guess it was Dav trying to help the IS team again? :P

MRW i get a 503 error

pickarooney

This is still happening today.

Boards.ie: Niamh

It shouldn't be. Can you clear the cookies and cache from your browser and see if you are still getting errors? Thanks.

pickarooney

It happens every time I reply to a post. I'm not actually sure how to clear cache and cookies on android stock browser but I'll give it a go and if not test from the desktop

Edit: didn't happen just now but four times in the last 30 mins.

r93kaey5p2izun

Was grand since last night but happening constantly now the past half hour.

suicide_circus

503 back in force today. If I were paying for this service I'd see so darn mad right now

ibarelycare

Yeah happening again for me. Literally just paid my subscription too :mad::P

New Home

Yep, it's just happened to me too, less than 5 minutes ago. It worked fine all morning, though - and this time, although the error is the same, it 'looked' slightly different.

ibarelycare

Yeah I got the above screen first, but then it went back to the regular 503 one.

Ah Jaysus. Here we go again.

seamus

Damn kids don't know how good they have it. A few blips and everyone loses their mind.

Back in my day the site ran like an ant through a wet turd and was sometimes more than it was up.

New Home

Did they actually have the interweb, back in your day?
