having connection problems still

Postby lingua » Sun Oct 28, 2018 6:23 pm

I am still seeing problems. On a post I just made, it took two attempts before it worked. I will load and it will show the unable to connect error below. Then I went back and resubmitted but it didn't post because of the message someone else had just posted so I tried again and it finally posted.
The same thing happened when I looked at Notifications. Or just going to links to new pages often takes two attempts.

When this happens, the browser bar reloads without the http:// (so it will just show forum.language-learners.org).
Is anyone else seeing this?

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at forum.language-learners.org.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I think you might need to type in the https:// prefix.

It could be that your web browser has a old cache or bookmark that gets referenced. If you create a new bookmark using the https:// prefix you could test with that.

EDIT
Ignore that! When I hit post I got the same error, but the post had registered. So it's not just you, but I don't think it's anything to worry about.

I'm having similar problems. After logging in my account automatically logs out after a few minutes (maybe 5 or 10?). This has never happened before so I think it might be related to this weekend's issues.

The connection issues seemed to have disappeared. Maybe the site really was too busy with everyone trying to catchup. :mrgreen:
