Keep getting this error message

[Soubriquet]

iPhone 5 on safari

Yep. iPad using the desktop site via safari.

Me too. Regular weekend thing.

Me too - last hour

Me too. LOADs of times this evening

I'm getting it too
It's bloody annoying!

Literally every time I click on a thread.

Yy every couple of minutes tonight. I've spent more time looking at that bad gateway screen than I've spent on pages.

Same here. Really bad tonight

every single thread from about five ish this evening, this is the first one that has loaded tonight without an error mesage....I guess the hackers have all been sent to bed.?

I love how the message clearly states it's a Host problem and every single time we all have to explain ourselves before it turns out that it actually is "something" at MNHQ. 3)

And me using Google on an android phone and the same on an ipad
Are MN being targeted?

And me on safari
Same on chrome

Same here, chrome on an android phone. Happens most evenings. I'm going to end up reading tattle at this rate.

Isn't it because of DDOS attacks its not MNs fault

It’s the menz again isn’t it? Because of all the attention Sarah’s death has brought?

I can't quite decide if there's no response on any of the threads regarding this issue as once again this is happening at a weekend or if there is no response because this is now such a regular occurrence MN doesn't think it noteworthy of a response.

That's a very good question.

Yes as well as the 404 error message every so often.
It just seems to be how it is now

I used to be part of two other forums where this same error message started cropping up with increasing frequency.

With one forum it happened over relatively long time period, at least 1-2 years and the site closed down overnight with no warning to users. There was only a message stating they had too many unpaid server/hosting fees.

The other forum displaying the same error also shut down abruptly some time after these messages started cropping up.

Well I hope that doesn’t happen here! I wouldn’t know where else to go!

Same here - been n here for years and this only started happening a couple of weeks ago.

Getting the same thing too. I thought it was just me!

@AllTheCakes

Getting the same thing too. I thought it was just me!

Nope it's not you, it's a site issue.

The last 3 weekends have been continuous error messages. First it was attributed to a DDoS attack, last week it was apparently new code / testing issues. No idea what the reason for this weeks is as MNHQ haven't responded yet.

Hi all

We're really sorry about the issues with the site last night.

We resolved these as quickly as we could, and all should be working as normal now. Please can you let us know if this isn't the case?

Sure, it’s working right now, but why does it keep happening?

@SmidgenofaPigeon

Sure, it’s working right now, but why does it keep happening?

Exactly what I was about to ask. It's fine now but this is happening weekly and as a PP said sure once was DDOS attack but that doesn't explain why every week the site is going down.
