Anyone also experiences problems with Fluther?

Asked by Mimishu1995 (23796points) 1 month ago

I can no longer use the desktop version of the site. Even with the mobile site it can be slow and sometimes even crashes. I posted this question using the mobile site.

Anyone has the same problem?

Yes. My Fluther is going between fast and slow.
I have to reload between pages.

I had a lot of problems yesterday (Sunday). It’s better today, so far.

Yesterday, it wouldn’t load, I was getting error messages, or it would load but then I couldn’t see my new activity, or couldn’t click on the new activity.

jca2's avatar

I should add that it’s still slow today (Monday).

This is the first time since Sunday morning that the site has been able to load for me. I keep getting a white screen. It took me several attempts to just get on this question.

I just clicked on Next Activity for me under the answer box on this Q and my screen went white again. I was able to hit the back button and return to this Q.

@all try right clicking on whatever it is you want to open – new activity, social, etc. It worked for me although sometimes it took 2–3 tries.

I couldn’t edit an answer yesterday, and it took ages to load a new question.

Mimishu1995's avatar

It’s normal for me now.

filmfann's avatar

Normal now (9:45pm PDT)

Thanks Ben! (I assume!)

LuckyGuy's avatar

It’s normal for me, too. 7:14 am EDT
Thanks!

Still problematic for me, Tuesday morning. Slow and I am getting error messages.

Tuesday 10/1, 12 Noon PT. Still very slow loading pages, some links show a blank page and nothing loads even after a minute or two.

[mod says] Ugh.

Weirdly, Fluther is working perfectly for me. Thanks for the reports, especially if those reports came in via PM. We’ve notified Ben again. Last time we talked, he said he’s got a plan for more long-term stability. Fingers crossed we’ll experience much-needed tranquility in this lagoon very soon.

smudges's avatar

10/1 4:00pm cdt still slow at times, and sometimes still get that error page.

Poor Ben and bless him for sticking with it. Don’t know what I’d do without fluther. Don’t want to use other forums.

jca2's avatar

I’m still getting error messages and it’s slow, Tuesday night.

jca2's avatar

Occasional error messages, Wednesday afternoon.

zenvelo's avatar

The pages did not load for me at 9 a.m PT time on Wednesday, but now, 11:30 a.m. PT, it seems all back to normal.

10/2 earlier this morning, I could not access the site. Now, I can.

jca2's avatar

Periodically, throughout the day, I get a bunch of error messages, and then for periods, it’s fine.

jca2's avatar

Still getting error messages, Wednesday night. Anybody else?

jonsblond's avatar

^Yes, I am.

snowberry's avatar

I have been waiting for 2 days to post this because it wouldn’t load. But it’s working fine at the moment.

KNOWITALL's avatar

I couldnt reach the site due to the Verizon outage. Also keep in mind that the sun outage season is always in October.

jca2's avatar

It was fine for me Thursday morning but now, Thursday afternoon I’m getting a lot of error messages again. I’m using the phone now, was on the laptop this morning. If i click on a question about 6 or 7 times, it lets me see it.

jonsblond's avatar

^same for me

smudges's avatar

I’m still right-clicking and more often than not that works.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Reload and move forward . . . no bueno!

jca2's avatar

Still getting error messages, Thursday night, 11 pm EST.

longgone's avatar

[mod says] How’s everyone’s Fluthering going now? If you’re still experiencing issues, can you post a description of what you’re seeing on this thread?

jca2's avatar

It’s been fine for me all day, today Friday, so far.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Okay here . . .

Sometimes have to hit GA extra times to have it take.

chyna's avatar

I’m still having problems, off and on.

jca2's avatar

I had one time with one error message, this afternoon, but other than that, fingers crossed and still leery and traumatized lol, it’s been ok.

longgone's avatar

@jca2 Interesting. Do you remember which error message you got?

Brian1946's avatar

@jca2

You may be able to see the error message if you look at your browsing history.

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

I get error 504, and 503.

jca2's avatar

It’s been fine for me for the past 24 hours.

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

Mine has been fine for a day now.

jca2's avatar

100% fine since the weekend.

longgone's avatar

Nice! I think we’re okay for now.

@RedDeerGuy1 Appreciate that information, I’ve passed it on.

Mimishu1995's avatar

It’s not fine again. I’m still getting error messages. The desktop site is unusable now. I’m using the mobile site, and even then it’s still hit and miss.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

10/9 evening. The site won’t come up sometimes. When I do get in, it’s fine.

jca2's avatar

Last night, (Tuesday night), I got an error message a few times (503).

Mimishu1995's avatar

Fluther has been unpredictable lately, just like my work ~

longgone's avatar

[mod says] Ben did some (more) magic. If you’re still seeing problems, please let us know here or via PM.

Mimishu1995's avatar

@longgone thank you mods. I will watch out for it.
