The new setup is really paranoid - try to browse the website with Chrome and the Developer Tools open, it won't work. Looks like a really pricey service by Cloudflare - only available for Enterprise customers and you only get a price tag when you ask for a quote.

I'm so tired of all of this. Can just Max explain what is happening? Does he even care? I mean... we all depend on his actions. Why not just say "Hello, here is why the site is broken, I'll fix it when I have time."

What a strange situation!! Confused

Yea, I even saw a captcha that I had to click to confirm my human nature on entering this site this afternoon.
I hoped we got rid of it forever after the period when forum members got flooded with it,so it recalled some bad memories.

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.

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

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.

I'd love to know more about what is going on on a technical level ... too bad that M@x is never participating in these discussions. None of our business, I guess.

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

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!
