Same as @WickedWolfie for me, and I’m no longer able to view Giantwolf’s thread on the PPG without things freezing up

Obviously a select group lol....
Any idea what the issue is @bod101?

 

[Ginger Chimp]

@bod101 I got these messages, yesterday.


I tried Google Chrome and Safari and neither worked. Sorted itself out after about 40 mins or so. Had similar issues on Sunday but they lasted for much longer.

 

[bod101]

thanks, these will be helpful

 

[jrpb-3]

site working but seems very slow at the moment and has done since I first came on 10-15 mins ago.
will post again when it sorts itself out

15:10 now, seems to have sorted itself out and responding OK now

Couldn’t get on yesterday afternoon or evening. Even tried with different Browser, Brave.

Like others I've been having real problems with @giantwolf PPG thread for a few weeks. I used to be able to view it but not post or like as it would lock up and then not let me access the Mix for 20 minutes or so but last night I could view the first page but, upon trying to view page 2, it locked me out on both my phone and laptop until I gave up trying 2 hours later. It's a real shame as it's one of my favourite threads.

Yup, still exactly the same for me. My fav thread too so I keep trying, but I then have to close the window and come back after about ten mins as it locks up everything for me.

I’m the same, tried again today and same result albeit only locked out for 15 minutes this time.

“Free the @giantwolf PPG thread!”

 

[Berkswolf]

Strangely I can now get to page two, but can’t get to the latest page 3. So, it seems it is a “last page in the thread” issue. I am using safari on both an iPad and iPhone X. Not using a vpn.

@bod101

Interestingly, been using the site all morning with no issues. (iPhone and wi-fi). Clicked on the gianteolf PPG Thread (first time in weeks) and the site and thread froze completely. Tried chrome and safari on iPhone - no good. Tried chrome and Edge on laptop - no good. Then tried chrome on iPhone on 4G and could access the site again.

These photos reflect the messages I was getting.

yes there are massive issues with something in that page.

 

[giantwolf]

shall I start a new one next week? I suspect the probably might reoccur but at least short term it'll help?

Or if you'd prefer I can refrain from posting a thread like that at all if absolutely your preference?

Back on wi-if now ... appears to be back to normal.

I won't open the thread because of these problems, does it happen to everyone who views that thread ?

Doesn’t seem to be everyone. I’ve had issues uploading and creating the posts previously but seem to be ok at the moment. However even this morning I went straight to page 3 on the thread and it was fine, went back to page 2 to get the previous post text and that’s when issues started again. Had to then come back on later to post on page 3.

Have you got anther computer you can use to see if its the pc.

Are you using a software when you create the thread (posts) (I don't know what is on it ) which could be causing the problem?

I get problems now and again but so intermittent it's impossible to find.

same on home and work laptops and mobile

I just looked at it and viewed ok, scrolled down to the first graphic then down to a photo put up by Lupo I think, then tried to go back to MM index page and bingo the whole thing went kaput.

It even stopped me quiting Safari so I tried to restart the Mac and it couldn't because safari was open, used force quit in the end and restarted.

No entry to MM though everything freezing all the same error messages you have put up. Other sites accessed OK.

Mac, safari, chrome and Firefox all the same.

I'm surprised the thread has been left up to be honest.

Something I would try is a fresh thread and enter a graphic one by one and allow it to be accessed so many times to see if it fails and then add the next .

No images to be put up by any posters not even doing a reply which would include your graphic.

It took about 15 mins or so before it recovered all by itself, wasn't timing it so could have been longer.

That makes me think their is a cycle going on and until MM or servers complete the cycle you are locked out ?"

Still getting this after an iOS update (iPhone/Safari). Have fixed it by deleting the website data, but this is the only site that it happens to.

I simply don't know the fix for this, I can't replicate it (using iPhone and ipads) and if it ever does happen (very rarely) on an my android phone a quick refresh fixes it.

Yeah it’s a weird one, it’s only ever after an iOS update. I’d assume it’s got to be something to do with the cookies. If it happened elsewhere I’d say it was apple, but only noticed it for here.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Mix is very slow at loading......actually, everything.
Couldn’t get on since last night........just hung there.
Once this morning got a ...site is being updated or something......but only once.

ok....just venting

No need to be sorry, it always helps if any issues arise

I'm sure this has happened before to someone else and they fixed it, I'll have to have a look back to see if I can find what they did!
