Forum errors loading (Jan 30 2024)

Happening regularly for me: Canada West Coast, Chrome. Same on iPhone and iPad

This is still an issue for me nearly 24 hours later.

I notice that I seem to have more issues when I am logged in as opposed to when I am logged out.

I have no idea if this is coincidence or a factor in the issue.

I get this error message again and again… :face_with_diagonal_mouth::man_shrugging:t4:

Still seeing this:

and this:

Still broken. Feb-1-2024.

Same here.

Hi,
all in all it’s much better now but I still get the “Sorry, we couldn’t load that topic”-message now and then.

Regards,
Frank

Definitely still broken.
I find that if I keep clicking on the ‘Try Again’ button the page will load after maybe 10-15 clicks, but the page content is missing.

Thanks everybody for all of your feedback in regards to the issues loading the forums. This was escalated internally and the web team have been hard at work to ensure everything is back up and running as normal as soon as possible!

I have seen this frequently over last few days same error messages as everyone else.
If it’s any help, if I clear my browser’s (Firefox in my case on desktop, chrome on phone) cache then I can hit reload and an affected forum page will load fine again until it happens again on another thread. Seems like it’s related to caching either on server/client or both.

I logged out, and am able to navigate normally, including replying here.
Logging back in caused the same error.

ETA: I just logged out prior to posting this, and now the forum won’t load at all using Chrome, even after deleting my browser cache. I’m typing this while logged in using Edge.

ETA: Chrome didn’t work for a long time. Now it does. I still saw errors when using Edge, but it seemed less than with Chrome.

I am also still getting the “topic couldn’t be loaded” error followed after som time by the “oops can’t load forum” error.
This than stays for several minutes up to an hour, then returns to normal for and after clicking on a view different threads the problem is back again …

I can read most of the forum, but there are a few specific posts that keep returning an error, this is one of them:

I just clicked on the link for the FSR500 thread and it loaded fine.

It seems that there’s little rhyme or reason. I hope that all the feedback we’re providing helps them fix this.

I just also klicked on the FSReborn FSR500 topic and it loaded fine, but when I used the back button of my browser (latest Firefox on Mac) I again got the “could not load topic” error. When trying to refresh the page I got the “ooops error”. I than loaded www.flightsimulator.com and clicked there on community and forums and I was back, and I typed this response …
So the behaviour is really really strange…

Still happening.

It’s better now than it was some hours ago, but it’s still happening occasionally, it did it a few minutes ago to me.

Agreed. Much better at the moment. Still not 100%.

Just happened again, got both error types.

I’m still getting all the different errors.

I’m pretty amazed this is still happening 24+ hours later! IT in this era is usually a 24/7 operation, so it comes as a surprise to see a case where it isn’t.
