StrandedonEarth Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I know. Bizarre, ain't it? Okay, I see. Using Chrome on PC, I get the Error 500 message when I try to access S&SS, but it works fine using the Edge browser. @JoeSchmuckatelli, @JoeSchmuckateli, have you tried other browsers? I tried Safari, Chrome, and Edge on iOS, and they all give a blank white screen for S&SS. The I started clicking around and discovered KSP1 Discussion is also giving the a white screen. Chrome on PC gives Error 500 for those two subforums, but Edge on PC is working fine. Tried Chrome and Firefox on my wife's laptop, with the same issue; Firefox was a blank white screen. So the only way I can access those two subforums is Edge on PC. Or be logged out. Weird. Tried different themes, no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrandedonEarth Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Okay, weird, now S&SS Is working but KSP1 discussion still does not. Dunno if someone has been tinkering, but it seems to be working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried multiple browsers and platforms to no avail. Even the Alt doesn't work on edge, but does on Firefox. The problem with the primary was intermittent and sometimes shifting - where I would have access on mobile but not PC or on PC but not mobile... Until one day I had no access from either for weeks. The Alt is a workaround but I can only use it on Firefox / PC... But at least I have access again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSchmuckatelli Posted November 14, 2023 Author Share Posted November 14, 2023 Oh - and something really weird - I think I just posted on S & Sf from my regular account on my phone (Chrome) @Dakota @Gargamel... Did you guys flip a switch or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you guys flip a switch or something? Yeah, it is weird. When S&Sf wasn't working for me, I was able to back into the SpaceX thread through notifications and post there. Now S&SF is working in Safari (iOS) and Chrome (PC), but KSP1 discussion still does not work on either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, yeah. Yesterday S&SF started giving me the white screen, but a refresh would load the page nromally. Today it's back to white screen no matter how much I refresh. Oh, and BTW, while S&SF did go back to working until today, KSP1 discussion never did get back to working order, but I rarely go there so I didn't keep squeaking about it. The above is what happens on my phone. However, on PC these days I've been surfing with the Edge browser, and it still works in those forums, while other browsers do not. None of the browsers on my phone will load those forums, nor do the other browsers on PC work. Unless I sign out, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Yeah - sorry. Just checked Edge (previous report was phone). I'm back to Error 500 on the primary (Alt is defunct). I don't know what you guys did - but once I created the Alt I had access only on the Alt (for the first few days), and then suddenly it was working on both accounts (hence the shout-out I sent you) on SpaceX. Whatever you guys did - I really appreciate your turning on the lights so I could participate in the excitement of IFT-2. Where I am at now is back to being limited to going into sub-subs where I've got a notification link (someone liked/quoted a post) - which will only take me to that particular thread. Thus, if you see me posting on SX or Science News - it's because those are the only threads where I've got notification-assisted access. So - back to multi-platform, multi-browser 500 errors whenever attempting to access the main S&SF sub from my Main - which, is the only account I actually have now since the merge. Good luck!

StrandedonEarth Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I should add that I can “back-door” my way into the S&SF threads through notifications and the “next unread topic” button, but can’t see the subforum itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrandedonEarth Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) OMG it works again! At least Science and Spaceflight does.

(One in 3-5 attempts gets 500, but sometimes I get through) Ofc - I also got this interesting thing trying to hit the BO sub: Website blocked due to a suspicious download Website Blocked: tpforum.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com v2.6.15 | Heuristics: a suspicious download Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocked this page because it may contain malicious activity.

StrandedonEarth Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Aaaaand it’s back to goobered. Sometimes I wonder if it’s a last-post avatar or something silly that the browsers don’t like.

StrandedonEarth Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 When it was back to working I had dug down a few pages to see if I could get it to bork again, but that wasn’t it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrandedonEarth Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Well, imagine that, S&SF is working on my phone again, although KSP1 Discussion still gives me a white screen. Scrolling back, I'm seeing a pattern where it starts working on Monday or Tuesday then craps out on/by Thursday., repeat next week. Maybe coincidence, I don't know. It's... Spoiler I totally believe the IT team still hasn't actually done anything. I'm reminded of the old joke about a woman in a restaurant (who would probably be labeled a Karen in modern jokes) who tells the waiter it's too hot, please turn up the AC, soon followed by it's too cold, please turn down the AC, rinse, repeat. When a nearby customer comments to the waiter how aggravating it must be, the waiter replies "The joke is on her, we do not have air conditioning."
