Weird error

Sporky

Query failed: connection to localhost:9312 failed (errno=111, msg=Connection refused).

At the top of the screen on Viz's "worn out" thread.

On every thread by the looks of things. Including this one. Mobile view

I noticed a lot of temporary outages over the last 24 hours too.

So it is. I'm on Brave on Android, set to desktop mode.

I'm getting the same error.

My (mobile view, firefox on android) phone is also loading threads 'funny'. Its like everything is very slightly scaled up.

I am getting the same error message today in Firefox 150.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro.

I've had an issue in Firefox for a while that seems to relate to DNS translation or something where the page doesn't load unless I refresh it a few times, and I thought this error message may have been related to that but it obviously isn't.

I had made a screenshot but no sense in posting as it's just as Sporky posted above.

I have noticed some very slow loading of the site and pages for 5 to 10 minute periods over the past couple of days, but it's all loading fine at the moment despite the error message at the top now being a persistent feature on every page I load.

I've had a few intermittent issues as well.

OK, on the intermittent issues - we've been getting hammered lately, from all over. Kind of feels like a DDoS, but I was struggling to narrow down the traffic patterns. Then it just kinda stopped this morning.

Regarding the error...I rebooted last night and forgot to restart the search server. It's sorted now, sorry all!

No worries chap. It's still by far the most reliable forum I know of.

Sadly, not at the moment. I'm fightin' the good fight, but...jeez, it's getting nuts out here.

We've been getting hammered by bots again. I've had to disable some single-sign-on functionality to bat them away, seems to have done the trick.

Cloudflare getting battered again too

I've turned registrations back on, seems to be fairly calm. So bloody frustrating.
