Probably a DNS issue.
It's an IT joke that it always is and it quite possibly is in this case. I think it's a load balancing issue with one server being faulty.
Serious Amount Of Server Down Time These Last Two Days.

Likewise.
Since I joined this forum there has always been issues with the connection/hosting it's just that this time it's terrible
If it's the hosting change it please!!!!!

Every other click for me over the last 24hrs. There is a performance difference between a pc and a mobile though. Noticed this yesterday as on the pc you could open a page that in the mobile you couldn't. Regardless, it's a bit annoying at present.

Now it seams every click is answered with an Error 521 No Reason Phrase. Refresh twice seams to help most of the time but now sometimes it's try really long to refresh and ends on a Error 504 Gateway Time-out.

Same, it’s really bad!
Would actually say the forum is currently unusable.
I’m sure the admins are all over it, but it’s frustrating!

It does seem like requests to the server are being bounced back for some reason. Trying again, rapidly & multiple times, probably doesn't help.
I did wonder if it could be because of a browser update, but Firefox does it as well as Chrome.

Been down a lot, and for long periods, today, in London.
Not just in London and over the past 2-3 days. CloudFlare issues??

Like I’ve mentioned on the Mk1-forum, there seems to be an excessive amount of guest users on both the forums. Right now it’s +2000 guest users on TMF
The admin over at Mk1-forum did some geo-blocking and timeout restrictions which seems to be helping reduce the guest users
Who knows if it’s something malicious or just a whole bunch of AI bots out searching for “knowledge”
