    Not knowing anything about computers I must be doing something wrong as everytime I click on a topic or thread it states user error 503 backend server not responding. Does anyone know wtf that even means and if so as I am new to this what I do about it.
    Thanks in advance
    Simon

    Hi Simon,

    Unfortunately this seems to be linked to your IP address and seems to be more prevalent if accessing Boards from outside of Ireland. Does this occur on a specific thread or forum or is it across the board?

    Some people have had some luck browsing in incognito mode or using a different browser. If at all possible, a change of IP address will hopefully do the job...

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

    Given that a 503 normally indicates a back end timeout, how is it linked to his IP or being outside of Ireland?
