Hi Buzyizzy,

This can be triggered by your IP address. Can I ask you to use the Legacy Site (you can find a link to it in the footer of the website). Are you accessing Boards from outside of Ireland?

Does this happen regardless of the browser or device that you use?

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

Mark,are you saying you're deliberately falsifying a 503 back to certain IPs?

Why would we falsify an error? I've seen in some other instances that users are accessing Boards from outside of Ireland and that this can result in a 503 error.

Maybe you've worded it badly, but given that a 503 is a timeout on the server side, it shouldn't be related to specific IPs.
