Slow Forums: PF Under DDOS Attack

[Borek]

I'm using Chrome.

MathJax is on different servers that PF is, so it may happen you can connect to PF without problems, while MathJax can't be reached. This part is not browser dependent, so it won't be surprising to see it on any computer.

Problem with Opera seems to be that for some reason it tries to contact MathJax servers each time PF pages are loading, instead of using cached version of the files. That means much more traffic and higher probability of problems. As far as I can tell Chrome uses cached version much more efficiently on my machine, but I didn't test it well enough to be sure - could be I was just lucky. For sure when Opera fails to load PF pages, I can switch to Chrome and browse the site without problems.

Bad Gateway after submitting a post, lost it, about 6:30 AM EDT.

I have the problem about once a day each day, around 11 GMT. It never lasts long and - as far I can tell - it can't be assigned to a specific time, more like +/- 1 hour of some point.

As it happens also in the morning - when AFAIK maintenance scripts are working, I wonder if it is not some other maintenance script?

Yes for me, every morning at 8:30 am exactly, PF is down for a few minutes. Maybe one year, I'll learn not to try to open PF exactly at that time.
