I am using the prosilver theme and the board now shows as if it has no stylesheets…
With some effort I could change to Canvas but it does not load completely OK either…
Maybe the forum software was re-installed for some reason?
Are there plans to fix that or do we continue in the downward spiral of less and less usable themes?
I have had to refresh a few times for it to work. Perhaps a cdn or some other issue.
Are there no others that have issues with the forum?
With prosilver theme I get a different page layout for every reload, usually without any CSS but sometimes OK.
With Canvas theme I get a lot of missing graphics.
I already tried disabling IPv6 (because when the problem would occur only on IPv6 lots of people would not notice it), but nu difference.
Same here.
I noticed some issues since earlier this week with general accessibility and missing images.
FWIW, I noticed yesterday 5000+ active Guest users listed on the home page – don’t follow it closely but normally its dozen or hundreds. Maybe that just some crawler.
But I have seen it hang more than usual.
When you open the forum page, it looks like this…
It doesn’t matter which internet browser you open it with
Yes, that is the problem I have as well.
At first it was only a white page with text and links (i.e. no CSS at all), now it is a partly correct and partly incorrect page.
(so probably some CSS files load and others do not)
Also a lot of the small images that are used in the layout are failing to load.
Just tried to post on the forum, and post was lost with “can’t connect to site” or something to that affect..
The issue still exist.
Maybe the forum server is the victim of a DDoS attack?
is the forum ever going to work OK again? Or is it just the new situation that we need to refresh 3-4 times before the page is shown OK?
We fixed it a few days ago, for me it is working flawlessly now. Try and clear cookies, cache, etc.
I still get a bit of this happening…
Edit Added: I’ve cleared all my cache, now trying ctrl+shift+k disable cache in my browser. Just a side note I use private browsing on at all times.
It appears that MikroTik have implemented a more aggressive request rate limit on the forum, so when loading it for the first time (or with clean cache) the browser’s requests (the page, icons, images, css, js etc) exceed the rate limit set so it returns a 503 for those requests, breaking the forum’s UI.

568 Guests (at time I write)
Many do something that Guests shouldn’t be allowed to do…
“Viewing member profile”
"Replying to message in "
“Viewing user control panel”
So they could be unidentified spiders or they could be attacks…
All these suspicious requests could limit the bandwidth available to real users and guests.
For me it switches between old looking phpbb and the new forum frequently. New look when logged out, old look when logged in.
I was still having stylesheet issues yesterday, thought it was just me
Makes sense. Thanks
See if there is an improvement starting now
Still the same for me!
Still this 11:30 through 11:31 UK time
