Could you please state here if you receive errors with the forum loading please, as we've been getting '504 Gateway Timeout' on various days and I'd like to keep track of them.
Many thanks.
Was getting this yesterday evening, can't remember exactly what time, will make a note in future. It was running extremely slow at one point.
A few weeks ago I was informed that I was a robot and had to do some sums before I could access the forum. I was using an iPad but I'm not a robot, honest :D
I haven't had the gateway timeout notice but I did wonder about the robot ones.
Regards
Veronica.
I got the 504 gateway timeout yesterday at 12.29pm precisely.
I switched the computer off as I had other things to do, when I went online much later everything was fine again.
Agree with John.
Wasn't able to get on at work today due to IT issues, but it does seem to go down at around 12.30 every day :(

i had the same issue as Veronica about the same time :confused2:
i have not had the gateway timeout problem but i have noticed that the forum gets slow to load between about 12.00 to 13.00
works fine the rest of the time
dave :thumbsup:
I have no such error, but I do still have the problem that I can only log in from the Home Page after two or three attempts.
What never works is coming to the forum, reading a thread(s), deciding I want to reply, and then trying to log in through the top of that thread's page. That never works at all.
I don't know why! Cleared caches and all that stuff too!
Chris,
Had the dreaded 504 error today @12:25ish.
Ok now, obviously as I'm logged in writing this :-[ :-[
Cheers
Neal.
It is slow for me too today at the moment but not had the 504.
Around 12.25ish error 503 on my phone usimg mobile site
Thanks everyone.
13.21hrs today 503 error message.
Was just a little bit slow about 15-20 mins ago but going great now.

I've had this too when trying to access the forum on my phone. I used to get the mobile version of the site on it but now it's reverted back to the full site.
If you go right down to the bottom of the home page there is the word "mobile" click on it and you'll have the mobile version on your phone again. I find when using my mobile it is quite easy to inadvertantly get the full site when you don't need it and discovered the link back to the mobile site by accident. :)
Ground to a halt about 5 mins ago. Still painfully slow.
hi all :wave:
from 12.00 - 12.15 the forum for me was very slow
then from 12.25 until just now all i got was "SMF was unable to connect to database, server appears to be full please try later"
appears fine now
dave :thumbsup:
Chris,
I've had major dramas getting into the Forum since about 12:20ish, 502 - Bad Gateway errors, 504 - Gateway Timeout Errors and my Office Network timeout errors.
Obviously I'm in now, but it seems to be painfully slow at the moment.
I wonder if the Hosting Company are doing their Anti-Virus sweeps on their Hosting Servers at this time of the day??? depending on where the Servers are hosted of course!!!
Regards
Neal.
Getting the same here, could not get on around 12.30pm and have just tried so obviously back online again.
cheers John.
When I tried to log on for the first time today at 1401 (1301 GMT) I had the following:-
"Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later."
Error 503 on the mobile from around 12.20.
Just been able to log on for the first time since it started today.
Thanks very much everyone. Something has obviously happened in the past week. :hmmm: The hosting company are analysing the server now.

Same for me from Safari on the Mac. Got the front page, but timed out going to the actual forums around 12:45
I guess the server has to take its lunch break at some point ???

It has to stop for a blow up every now and again, especially if the fireman goes to sleep and forgets to add more coal.

And we're back again!
I think this will happen all week. We'll be on the new server by the weekend. :(
All from mobile phone.
12.50 site very slow and then timed out.
12.54 Tried again Error 503
13.06 Still Error 503
13.16 Timed out trying to load.
13.22 tried on laptop -I'm here now but pages very slow to load.
Bit frustrating as I use my lunch break to check things over :(
Still, hopefully the new server will sort it

I had the 12.30 break! pleased to note things will soon be OK :thumbsup:
At 1225 , 29 Nov. Browser could not find forum, then okay when I tried again at 1237.
For the last couple of days the forum has been accusing me of being a spambot (couldn't see any questions to answer to prove I wasn't) whenever I log in on the work laptop over my home broadband with VPN connected. I can access the forum as normal if I disconnect VPN so I am linking directly rather than via the office. I don't know if this means someone at work has been sending spam - certainly the IT people seem to behave like zombies so that could be it.
assuming you have a dynamic ip address, it is possible someone used that ip address for spam and you got caught by the forums anti-spam measures, i have disabled it on your account so it should not cause issues in the future.
Seems to be working this morning - thanks for the prompt out of hours response. Very unlike the IT people I normally have to deal with, but that's another story!
Glad it's worked out OK. Thanks Illori!
Hi I could not get on today from 12.20 -12.45 Timed out error

Hi I could not get on today from 12.20 -12.45 Timed out error
Similar sort of time I got message that could not connect to the database...
Hopefully today was the last day and we'll be changing servers over the weekend.
Thank you for all of your help everyone. :beers:
Does that mean there will be a down time over the weekend?
Was ok at lunchtime today, but impossible to get into the forum at 9pm. Fingers crossed for the new server :)
hi all :wave:
tonight between 8.20 and 9.00 i also had problems with the forum running very slowly :doh:
seems to have cleared up now :claphappy:
dave :thumbsup:
Had problems with VERY slow performance last evening but now all seems fine.
Had various difficulties between 1225 and 1245 today. Managed to log on at about 1235 but then couldnt access anthing until 1245. Several code 504 timeouts occured.

Thanks for letting me know. I've only just got back on here myself. Very annoying. :veryangry: I haven't had a reply from the owner of the server yet.
Hi
Had trouble logging in at 13:30 today Sunday 2nd Dec, message read
"safari could not open page because server stopped responding" however could get into other web sites without any trouble.
Tried Forum again about an hour later and got in without any problem.

on 3rd Dec. from around 13.30 to 14.00 repeatedly
"504 Gateway Time-out nginx"
or
"Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later."
I got this message at about 12:30 today;
"Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later. "
I had just finished reading a topic and was trying to read another. Tried refreshing the screen but got the same message.
Certainly a lot quicker today.

Had the same problem lunchtime (12.30ish) today too.
Have been getting the same message for some time now.
I don't suppose that the hosts are for some weird reason doing backups at that time?
Nobody knows what's causing it! All we know if that it's not our fault. Thanks for letting me know.
13:27, the old Connection Problems screen ...
Same again!
13:35
Chrome:
504 Gateway Time-out
nginx
IE
Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
Had same problem from 12:19 was still not working at 13:40, seems OK now
I quite often get 'cannot connect to server', but it's usually back up after a few minutes or an hour or two, depending on when I try again.
Thanks all.
Although promised that we would change servers at the weekend, hopefully it will be tomorrow now. ::)
Am having problems accessing forum, sometimes lets me in (have posted on facebook), sometimes looks for me to clear cache, this worked earlier, then stopped, now working again etc :doh:
Wasn't sure where to stick this, but decided on this thread.
Since the Server Move, I seem to have 2098 unseen photos in the Media section according to the front page, even though I've no Unseen photos when I select the Unseen link from the Media menu!!!
If that makes sense :confused1: :confused1:

you dont seem to be the only one http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=9867.0 (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=9867.0) and i dont know of any way to fix it. it may just end up like that forever at this rate.
Having problems since the upgrade, mobile network problems aside keep getting errors on the mobile phone saying access denied. (Wap)
Pictures in posts do not seen to show and sometimes I cannot even open posts.
Going to delete the forum from my laptop and 2 Android devices that I link via Wi Fi.
I shall delete all cookies,clear caches and start all over again in a couple of days time.
Those that need to contact me and know my email, I can still access and answer them.
Was it my system, or was response quite slow about 1:30 this afternoon ?
The forum slowed up for roughly an hour from around 12.30 but later in the afternoon it was pretty slick
