It's on a Linux machine and a Mac, Firefox browser. At work I have pretty much the same Linux configuration and it works as you can see here.

I'm also on a Linux system and generally using Firefox. Other than the occasional server time-outs (last weekend/early this week) I didn't have any issues with the forums, however the PA main page, and in a very random way also the band and album pages return blank for me since the end of last week in Firefox, sometimes only showing the page in a flash before turning blank/empty. I don't have this problem with the Chromium browser. Again, this seems to be rather random: sometimes band or album pages (following a direct link) show up without a problem, when at other moments it returns a blank page. The PA home page systematically returns a blank page, and this since the end of last week.

Besides, it seems the numbers of people on the site have been dropping steadily ever since this has all been happening
The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow.

The last 48 hours or so I haven't experienced any problems - seems to be stabilizing, and the pages are loading quite fast. Had to adjust my code substantially though, the archive pages are now actively resisting any attempt to crawl them. Apparently these days enterprise websites have a way to get their pages into the Google index without being open to conventional crawling. Brave new world indeed ... there goes the open internet Smile

I can load charts but artist and album pages just give me a white page.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Well I suppose that if M@x still intends to sell this site for 0.5M USD, he'd better do some serious investing in terms of reliability >> this means time & money.

Right now, he won't even get 1/500 of that amount.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Saw that as well. She seems to be purring like a kitten, at least for now.
DAMN...spoke WAAAAY too soon. The site is running more like my old 1970's Pontiac Ventura than the 2023 Jaguar we all hope for.

What a strange situation!! Confused


Hear hear. I realise i spoke too soon, as I struggle and fail to add an album.

Really slow today for me, took about 3 minutes to load the index page, and then another 3 minutes for opening a release page.

Interestingly, the main page is running super smoothly for me today, but I seem to have an invariably hard time reaching my main profile page, which ends in a time-out.
