Does anyone feel the website is sluggish, or just me?

[davidvel]

Lots of spinning blue wheel and the waiting orange bars....

 

[dioxide45]

Yup, a tad slow at the moment.

 

[tiel]

Agree. Slow for me

 

[davidvel]

Funny part is all of us coming here and posting that it is slow, just slows it down even more (a miniscule amount)!

It it like my phone continually waking up and lighting up the screen to tell me my battery is at 2%.

 

[TUGBrian]

and another blocked ip bot.

 

[TUGBrian]

trying something new to be more proactive on blocking these given the number of requests they submit! fingers crossed.

if by chance any of you magically are unable to connect to the server anymore, please email me.

Well I have just logged in after a gap of quite a few months, and it seems better than last time to me! But I changed my internet providers and when things are slow my first port of call is to blame my internet not a website. But I am in UK, and maybe it's to do with time differences...

 

[TUGBrian]

havent seen any issues today, so it appears the new firewall rule to proactively block these is working!

But how will they see this post and know to email you if they cannot connect to the server? Chicken/Egg.

generally when folks get a server error message like that for a long time ill get an email or fb message!

appears the bots are back...see the number of online users was over 10,000 currently and it filled

Does the heat index over 105 degrees in the Southeastern states of the United States have any effective on the website?

I am getting this error message any time I try to reply to a thread. My reply does get posted and I see it if I refresh the page. Not sure what could be going on.

 

[Passepartout]

Looks like the Pro's are working on it

 

[TUGBrian]

whole new type of attack this time, though doesnt appear limited to just TUG.

 

[TUGBrian]

hopefully this final fix has cured the vast majority of these issues for all users (and fingers crossed we havent caused others to get blocked!)

TUG website has had errors several time today

It was completely down with an error earlier today. Now I am seeing multiple of the same posts, and I am getting an error trying to post. Could that be what is causing the duplicate posts? Any ideas @TUGBrian
