Xendarii Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Seems completely random for me. Happens quite often when I try to navigate through the forums or view a thread. However, using Chrome, I don't get a blank page but one with an error message (Internal Server Error, Code 500). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nichols Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Been getting the blank page randomly as well. It does seem pretty random. Happened just now when I used my bookmark to access the forum but it loaded on the second try. Before that it happened when I tried to reply to a post.

angeldelayette Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have been getting a lot of these here lately: The website cannot display the page HTTP 500 Most likely causes: •The website is under maintenance. •The website has a programming error.

Adam Ryland Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's been particularly bad for the past few hours Arlie, practically every other thread I've tried to access has required multiple reloads. It's been happening when opening threads to view, creating new ones, adding replies, closing threads....there's no pattern that I can see, and appears to be affecting everything site-related. EDIT - As if to prove a point, it took me 5+ attempts just to get this post to be accepted, then over 3 minutes to reopen it and do an edit.

D-Lyrium Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just to add to the pile, I've also been getting loads of these. As Adam said, it's taking several reloads to do anything that involves a page loading anywhere on the forum. Not EVERY time, it seems to happen in 'blocks'. It'll be fine for a while, and then start causing errors left, right and centre for a while, then be fine again for a bit, etc, etc. Although I have to say I've never got it while trying to post or edit a post (using Quick Reply, at least). Only when loading new pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think one of the ads from one of our providers is causing issues. I pulled that group of ads on the forum so let's see if it works better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justtxyank Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Still having issues. Took me three attempts to send a private message a few minutes ago. That was after I'd already shut the site down after getting frustrated trying to login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Is still happening about as much as it was before, at least for me. Must've got at least 10 blank screens while catching up on a few hours of posts just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 OK, I've cleaned out some additional stuff. See if it's better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xendarii Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Me too. It's still as bad as it was during the last days. There's something even worse than this, by the way. When you try to access these forums via mobile phone (I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2), sometimes a pop-up with sexualized content automatically opens, replacing the whole GDS forums. Don't like that at all. I'm not visiting this page to see naked girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using a Galaxy S2 as well and I've never had the pop-up appear, usually I just get a white screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xendarii Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 It does not happen frequently, only every now and then, but it's annoying. I'm using Chrome, not the standard browser, but that should not be a reason for nonserious advertising like this on these forums, especially 'cause they don't appear on any other site...

Brian Nichols Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 If anything its worse now for me. I've had it happen 10+ times in a few minutes tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 If anything its worse now for me. I've had it happen 10+ times in a few minutes tonight.

crayon Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'll just chime in and say that I'm getting a lot more work done at my job now, because whenever I go to see what's going on at GDS it appears as though everything is down. Typically the forum index loads fine (may be cached though), but going into any actual topic is a no-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justtxyank Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It's horrible this morning. Horrible. I hope that means you are working on it and it is freaking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 This is weird. I check every morning at about 8 AM my time and throughout the day until 4 PM and everything looks great. I'm going to check tonight and see if I can catch it when it's bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I just ran some additional cleanup. A few of you may have been booted from your posts. Sorry about that if that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xendarii Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Forums have run way more stable for me during the last days. Had only one loading error today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djthefunkchris Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 <p>I find if you hit reload a couple of times, everything comes up as if nothing is wrong.</p><p> </p><p> An observation. "Had only one loading error today." although obviously better then "Had error's galore today!", doesn't mean things are good. </p><p> </p><p> I do know that outside of a game being released, I don't recall having these forum problems before the advertisements were added, unless it was an actual host problem.</p><p> </p><p> I don't know if they have anything to do with it or not. I do know there are plenty of sights with advertisements that I don't get these errors with, so I know that it's possible to have a forum with ads and no errors. However, I can't help coming to the conclusion that some ads here must have something to do with the forum problems that didn't exist before they were in place. Find the bad one(s), and it might go away.... if that is even the problem. </p><p> </p><p> I've also noticed that when trying to post and getting an error, sometimes it's when someone else is posting at the approximate same time. Again, just an observation. Don't know if it would actually have anything to do with the problems or not.</p><p> </p><p> I do know that although these things can make it look obvious what the problem might be, that it could be something totally different, and perhaps is why it hasn't been actually "fixed" for good yet.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Arlie, it seems much more stable this morning - I've been on for about an hour and a half and haven't had any issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
