This has happened to me three times today. . Not sure if it is a cloudflare problem or something else

 

[pjmburns]

Yes Lyn
Several times today I have had an "error 521" come up saying Forum server is not responding.
If I go back to my home page and try again I usually get on. So whatever is happening doesn't last long.

Just reading a thread and went to change the page
This popped up

I refreshed the page and all was fine again.
As I said before whatever is going on is very short lived but frustrating.

I have not seen at all on either of my devices….

Me neither, whatever I pick up to access the site on. However, I do sometimes see a few seconds delay when I do something, such as appreciate a post, or pick up a quote to use. Never an error message though.

[pjmburns]

I've been on and off the Forum most of the day with no problem until just

 

[Richard Dye]

[Astoness]

Not seeing any of that............

richard its not happening all the time its intermittent so it all depends how often you are on the forum as to if you are unlucky to be on when it plays up...

Thanks but I am on frequently, at least multiple times daily. I notice that Andrew (France) does not seem to have that problem.

 

[mikejee]

I have had it a couple of times today. As before, if you delete the message and try again immediately it works ok. This would suggest to me that it is something on Cloudflare in the UK that is doing it, THOUGH this could be because of some alteration on settings of the forum that clash with how Cloudflare works in UK

 

[Keith R]

Had it earlier on PC....but tried now on tablet and OK.

 

[Astoness]

same here forum went down 3 times within a few mins...i have now alerted warren to take a look at this thread

[mw0njm.]

ditto Lyn

 

[warren]

its not the site its cloudflare, cloudflare has been having issues, we use this as a go between and it protects us from certain cyber attacks.

 

[A Sparks]

I've had it happen about 3 times but, as others have said, it's fine when I try again.
I just thought it might be my phone connection as I don't have WiFi and it's a bit slow sometimes.

See Warrens response. It seems to be cloudfire UK wherein lies the problem.

Is there anything we can do?
