Why the traffic jam

[Eskie]

I know this should be in a different forum, and if I could actually do that I would. Unfortunately for the past several days this board is generally unavailable much of the morning, staring at least as early as 7 am to about 10 am EDT. 95% of the time I get a 404 error and the remaiming 5% slow as molasses loads. Attempts to post result in double or triple posts as the reply button does not properly update.

It appears I can get in through tapatalk which is where this post is coming from. But for a good chunk of the morning, browser based access is essentially impossible. I am wap sure it a problem from Cloudflare as there errors report as unable to reach would you like a cached page if the site on a Cloudflare page, not a blank 404.

Any idea when this will clear up?

Oh, and it's only through the tapatalk app on my phone. Doesn't work on a browser version

 

[puffon]

I'm getting the same 404 errors.

 

[sorrynomore]

Same here....Yesterday all morning. Today isn't as bad!

 

[Eskie]

All I'm getting now is "this site is currently offline" with an option for a pretty for a live version. I'm glad tapatalk works but I have using it when I have a perfectly good browser and keyboard in front of me. KHz and it's all three browsers, Chrome, FF, and IE. Oh and even Edge, so it's not a browser issue

 

[Imfallen_Angel]

No problem on my side...

 

[Frenchfry1942]

Is it the Tapatalk connection? I am just to busy during the day with work, so I don't Tapatalk anymore.

 

[Eskie]

No, I can get in by tapatalk, but not a browser to the site itself. Very odd.

 

[Asbestos4004]

Mine doesn't work on desktop either. Only works only phone....Not using Tapatalk. Thanks eskie....I thought it was just me.

 

[Eskie]

I'm back in my phone and that works. Just to add to stew, if I try to get in by tapatalk on my tablet I get a 404 not found error too. I hate reading these forums on the phone, mostly because I hate typing paragraphs on the touch keyboard.

Edit: just to add for troubleshooting I can ping the site just fine. The server is functioning, consistent with a 404 error

 

[ceeceeisme]

I've had no problems getting on here in the morning and I usually start around 6 am.

 

[Eskie]

Seems fine now. It would be nice to know why this keeps happening.

 

[Maytwin]

Mine's been OK today but I've had 404 errors a few times lately - and it seems like there are others too

 

[classwife]

Here too.
I have managed to get in for a few seconds then booted out since I woke up this morning.
Load balancer for the servers must have gone on vacation or something.

I "think" it is only bothering us East Coasters...(?) Not sure tho.

 

[Eskie]

It's back out for me again. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon. I know lots of folks use an like tapatalk, but when I'm sitting in front of my nice large monitor and a keyboard with actual keys, it's just not as pleasant an experience.

 

[ericbnc]

Same here 404, 404, etc. East coast.

 

[ericbnc]

And I'm a super member even!

 

[ENAUD]

Weird, can get on fine with my iPad, not using tap talk, but my PC just get 404 over and over.

 

[Eskie]

I can only get on with my phone but get a 404 on my tablet even with tapatalk.

 

[Train2]

It's probably the FDA.
Becuz, the internet is a tobacco product now.

 

[classwife]

just goofy.
I got booted again after my last post and was just now able to get back.

Let's see how long I stay
