Is the forum slow for anyone else on desktop?

[Arathol]

Seems like its getting slower by the week. Sometimes it takes a minute or so before anything happens, lots of 522 errors, sometimes it just stops for a while. I thought going to the new platform was supposed to make things better.......somebody dropped the ball and forgot to pick it up......

Very slow, hope it's fixed soon.

Slow!!

Clearly the upgrade . . . was not. I don't want to pile on Spark but I wonder if the issue is being investigated?

Same here, getting this error page and loading pages takes forever.

Lately I've started opening a new window to read some news while waiting for BF to load.

What is going on?

I've been doing that for a while now.

Kind of a bummer, in addition to the broken search function.

I've found it slow most days, but today is just really bad. Lots of errors.

Took me three tries and five minutes just to get to the end of this post,timed out twice. I realize these are first world problems but this is ridiculous

Very slow lately and even more so today with the dreaded “Error 522: Connection timed out”!

It happens on both of my separate Internet connections (Spectrum Cable hardwired & Wi-Fi and AT&T 5G) and iOS and Windows devices with Safari & Chrome browsers.

Hopefully, this gets resolved in a speedy manner. Last time we had slowness and issues from February 2020 to April 2021 (14+ months) which is way too long!

I got a Cloudflare 522 error when trying to click on this thread to complain about the crazy amount of Cloudflare 522 errors I've been getting in the last couple days.

Loading this page, ironically enough...

 

[Zulus]

Slower - yes
Stuck time to time - yes

Actually lapdesktop :^D

 

[wouter1967]

Yes very slow, unresponsive and lots of errors.
Feels like it's become worse the last few weeks.

 

[Lesknife]

This is not fun anymore.
I don’t get on here as much because after 5 minutes trying to load a page I want to read or respond to, I say screw it !
All the other places I visit everything works great. Why is B F having so much trouble ?

It has never been this slow since I've been a member. Makers must be milling their teeth over this.

Not thrilled...that's for sure.

Its definitely a hosting issue and not a cloudflare one.

Unless this place is getting ddos attacked around the clock.
