    314. Who else would be experiencing completely inexplicable issues?

    Brief Description:
    Attempting to load any forum page causes major issues.

    Edge or Internet Explorer 10:
    The page is blank for about 60 seconds, then a timeout occurs.​
    Firefox 54:
    The background image loads, then an endless loading cycle (tested for 30+ minutes) begins.​
    Google Chrome 60:
    The page slowly appears - <div> by <div> - over the course of several minutes, but there's a chance (of about 80%) that it stops loading and freezes.​

    Instructions:
    Go to www.ecocitycraft.com, www.ecocitycraft.com/forum or any forum thread.

    How many times did you recreate this bug?:
    Probably a hundred times by now; I [try to] check the forum pretty often. This is my fifth attempt at filing a bug report.

    Result:
    Either a timeout, permanent freezing or seeing the forum page after multiple minutes.

    Expected Result:
    Seeing the forum page within seconds.

    Evidence:
    N/A.

    Additional information:
    This issue began appearing shortly after the forum hardware upgrade's 500/502 errors stopped.

    I tested with chrome/firefox/safari on my phone and it loads without any problems, although maybe it's just a desktop thing :p

    I hate to say it 314, but I can't replicate it at all.

    I hate to say it Jamie, but that's exactly what I expected.
    I'll add it to my worryingly long list of completely insane/irrational bugs that have never been and probably won't ever be replicated by anyone else.

    I'll probably conduct a few more experiments regarding that issue within the next few days.

    Actually, I have a question-Is something asposed to scan my device if I go onto the ECC forum? Because it always says wait 5 seconds. Maybe your computer is firewalling the scan, which is why you can't get on the server.

    That's just CloudFlare's 'Under Attack Mode'. It checks your browser every time your network changes.

    Stop using a vpn and get a static ip and this will stop.
    314 - as always ... you have proven yourself as the master breaker :p

    So... apparently a fresh OS install on my laptop fixed the problem. I guess I'm going to classify this as another "314 exclusive; please disregard" report. .-.

    @314 we recently made some changes regarding our databases. It should be much quicker now... is it better for you?

    I haven't noticed any difference as this issue hasn't reappeared since my second to last OS wipe/reinstallation. I'm relatively sure that the problem was caused by me and not by the server.


    314-bugs are wonderful, right?
