Forum Issues / Re: Slow/Unstable Forum Connection Recently?

The intermittent nature of the problem definitely indicates a server-side issue.
Maybe there is a connection pool issue--some crusty old code not disposing of connections appropriately, perhaps?
Could be disk usage is being thrashed...though it seems that wouldn't be likely to give an immediate error response unless the problem has been bad for a long time.

Just read your post and clicked on another thread to read from the home page.  SMF not available page, multiple refreshes eventually worked.......

Forum Issues / Slow/Unstable Forum Connection Recently?
« Last post by nuclearslurpee on June 08, 2025, 05:22:40 PM »
Hi all,

In the past few weeks or so, I've noticed that the connection to the forums seems slow and/or unstable. I am often seeing the "SMF not available" page, which usually appears when the forum is actually down, but in this case I can often get back to the forum by refreshing the page a few times. It comes up seemingly randomly.

I am curious if this is affecting others, if this is a known issue, and/or if the problem is on my end and there are some steps I can take to fix this. N.B., I am seeing the same behavior on multiple devices that I use to browse these fine forums, so I doubt it is due to a device-specific issue in this case.

The "Please read the forum rules before you post" Links to the Help section of the forum which does not contain any rules, only how SMF works.

I guess I had run into this problem before and just reregistered under this handle. I found it on an old phone. Thanks for the help Garfunkle.

Ok, that is someone else. I just registered under a completely new handle with my current email. Same one I use over at paradox. I appreciate all the help guys but it seems a new handle is the best solution.  SoL. Or 0Fox now I guess.
