Global Scale Modeller

Over the last week I keep getting this message. Somethings 4 or 5 times when I try to post or change section/topic, I often have to log out and sign back in, it then it loads as normal.

Got it today, waited 3 min tried again and it loaded. 2 days ago I had to try 3 or 4 times then it loaded.

I'm glad it's not just me then, was beginning to wonder.

Same here that's why I've got a double post above took 15mins to post then did it twice. Something wrong does anyone know what?

Seems to be improving. TC mentioned it may be to do with bots. We seem to be getting botted a fair bit at the mo. They must have picked up on all the submarine builds and think we're spies or something.

If a post doesn't load the first time and it gets stuck tapping the back button will often recover it, then try again is all we can do.

I just keep trying for 6-8 times and I get on.

I am aware of the problem. I am currently looking into an effective way to solve it.

I've been unable to get on all day, nothing but error page. I hope you can sort it out soon Matthew, the site is currently unusable for me!

I am hoping that it has gotten better in the last hour or so. Trying to block the offending sites is like playing whack-a-mole. I block one and another comes right back up. I promise I am working on a better solution. I will let the forum know once I have a firm plan in place.

Please keep being patient, a major change is coming as soon as I can make it happen!

Beats me why someone is even bothering with our little site. I mean all that effort and there isn't a huge data base to rob.

Everybody hold on, we are in for it
Grab hold of something tight, it will all turn out ok in the end

Sadly it's been the same all day today. Oddly it appears to get better in the later afternoon, but it still takes 5 or more attempts. I know you're doing all you can Matthew and that is greatly appreciated.

I am terribly absent but the one day, yesterday, I was going to post, the same error message appeared. Glad someone noticed as I was worried ISM had closed down in my absence.
