Forum is slow

[Mapantz]

It started last week, but it hasn't gotten any better. 

Coming to the forum can be very slow, or I get the invision page to say there's a temporary issue.

Clicking threads has gotten very slow and clunky at times as well. This is happening randomly through the day, but it's been happening since last week.

We have a ticket in with Invision about this. Getting them to investigate when they don't see it happening themselves is proving a challenge unfortunately, which is very frustrating. But, we'll get to the bottom of it one way or the other - even if that means moving back to hosting the community on our own servers again, rather than using their managed service.

Just for info, I've had that message come up a few times, but the forum it's self hasn't run slow.

[Deep Channel low]

I can only access forums on my phone, laptop says bad request, size of header field exceeds server limit 

[Paul]

That's unrelated and sounds like a corrupt cookie or similar - if you clear your cookies and cache it should it that out.

Oh i've had this too! Thought it was just me. It's random though.

[Paul]

I've put a notice up - if you've seen errors or have found the community slow on regular occasions of late, please let us know in here.

Hi Paul

I have found the forum a tad slow this morning,

Regards 

[alexisj9]

Had the message twice so far today.

[Bristawl Si]

I only access via my mobile phone and have had no issues

[Dreckly]

Yes, I get this randomly and also sometimes slow (Android 11) and very occasionally on my Android 8 phone.

[Day 10]

I had similar issues last night, took an age to get into my local thread.

[Shaunado]

It's fast for me, but i can occasionally get the "temporarily unavailable" message.

[Freeze]

I use my phone and have had no issues with speed.

I have had the temporary unavailable message on my android...mainly when i click on the community short cut icon ..if i then go back through the website to access the community it is usually ok...thought it was a problem with my phone...

Yes have had that display a few times lately but took no notice. !

[Metwatch]

Yes similar issues as posters have mentioned above, however the site is still completely useable to me!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

I've had it on phone and mobile. I thought it was my wifi on phone so kept swopping to use my data instead!

[noel]

i keep getting this notice on chrome, when i try to go to community tab ;

Bad Request

Clearing your cookies should solve that @noel

I've had this too... but only 3 or 4 times which I had put down to the VPN causing the issue or some site maintenance. Otherwise speedwise etc has been fine and no other issues to complain of.
