today  in the fter noon  i hit  404 thing again... just a  few minutes  ago, i got  " can't reach the site"   thing.

 its back now?.. is there anyhting  going on we should know about?

Might be related to the issue that they are going to be working on later: link to a message in another game

thanks!..i never  saw the other one.

Been getting the 404 errors again lately. Half a dozen today alone.

Is there more maintenance going on we should sit tight through, or does someone's tail need to be tugged to tell them something is not working right at the server?

Same here, I thought it was just me. It lasts for a few minutes and then clears on its own, only to strike again a few minutes later.

I can confirm players in Norway, England, and Australia (as well as me in the US) having the problem simultaneously, so it's definitely not just a local thing.

at least 4  times today..i was 404...

Yeah, it's been doing it a lot today and yesterday.

i got hit a few times yesterday as well... I notcie it more, i suppose, ebcause   i spend alot of time here!

Just happened again at 6:40 local time in the middle of posting. I hit reply and got the 404 error. I tried again and it took forrreeevvverrr to post, finally did, and then right after, 404 error again and the main part of the site was slow.

More 404 messages - they didn’t last that long but it’s still happening.

I've been getting them off amd on too. It never affects the main rpol.net site, just every sub-page. Sometimes these 404s last only for a few seconds, other times they last for several minutes.

Is someone attacking the site or using it for like spamming purposes?

Anyone got an official response to what's going on?  Do they need more server donations to cover a repair/upgrade?

It's odd that I haven't had any trouble hitting the main page.  I only have been getting the error when I try to dive into a game or forum.  It makes me think that it is an authentication issue, because I think that the main page can be painted (even with highlighting games' post count in red, I bet, since that's done on the browser from cookies) without actually checking authentication.  Hmmm.  Except that it does need to access your list of games you participate in; I can't believe that's kept in cookies.

Well, it was a thought.  It is definitely consistent, though.  I've even tried a shift-refresh on the main page, and it works fine, but then trying to open a forum or a game gives me the 404.

someone told me last year, i believe, that the main page i have set to my Favs, brings me in, but there are new links  for the rest, and the 404  disrupts  that

The main page is easy to get to, but there have been a 404 errors on my end trying to go anywhere else, today. It happened to me once a few days ago, but today was pretty bad for a bit.

It has been happening for a couple days several times each day for stretches. Last time it happened this bad was disk space chewed up by log files, per message #14 in this thread but dunno if it's the same thing now. Same set up though, getting to the front page but not being able to reach the games themselves.

I noticed that, during last few weeks, various websites have similar issues that were really uncommon before, so I guess this depends on the much higher people working from home during last few weeks or months of quarantine restrictions, that are increasing a lot the traffic on the web.

Adding my name to the list of people with this issue. However I was chalking it up to the increase in people working from home or using the internet.

I believe everybody is having this issue, and we are aware of it.

now i got 502?

This means that Somebody is doing Something.

It may not be the Right Thing, but it's movement.  ^_^

::chuckles::  i just wish there was a  way to tell.. i finally   , just leave my posts up  until they 'take'

In reply to donsr (msg # 80):

Notepad is your friend! 502 is NOT!
