503 Service Temporarily Unavailable


EpicBoss99

Question

Every time I try to post a reply or post a topic, I receive a blank white screen and the words "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable". After refreshing 5-6 times, there's a chance that I can post. Is this something that I can fix myself? If so, what can I do? Or is it a YCM server issue? I checked my internet connection, and every other website is just fine.

 

Thanks,

EpicBoss99 :D

It's been a recurring issue for a lot of members nowadays, so you're not alone. I've gotten it a few times.

 

Basically something to do with Cloudflare as a whole, which YCM is hosted on. There's not much you can do about it until that gets fixed; well, as far as I know. If Cloudflare gets fixed but YCM still has this problem, that'll require YCMaker to do something.

Tormey mentioned this fact in the News thread in greater detail.

It's a YCM issue that's being worked on as we speak. There's a lot of site politics to wade through before we can give the people who know what they're doing access to the code so that they can diagnose the problem. That's the simple explanation, and it might not be 100% correct, because I personally don't understand it.

It is not a site issue. It is an issue with the site hosting service. Even if YCMaker were active, this likely isn't something that would be under his control.

 

Cloudflare will likely be totally fine within a few days. In the mean time, just refresh until you get the page to properly load. It is tiring, but functional.

I'd like to add, if you're typing long posts, copy it before you press post. That way if CF fucks you, you can just post it again and not have to retype

I know I've gotten paranoid by now, but I've mostly been clicking the preview button at this point, and when it does come back, I haven't lost anything, oddly enough. Isn't like that hasn't stopped me from copying things out of even greater paranoia, tho.
