I wasn't able to find a 'something not working' thread, so I'm reporting this way. As of today, I'm unable to view the main forum page (Forums / Main Arena), though I'm able to access the smaller forums like fanfests through shortcuts, and this one via thread search. GS non-forum page is working fine. Just the main forum page doesn't load, and shows a blank page. This is happening both on my smartphone and my laptop. Anyone else with this issue?

I have the same problem too, at least from my office. Several weeks ago I had this problem at home but at the end it started to work again. I have deleted cookies that time but today it did not help.
 
Update: It seems it works again.
Not for me though. For instance, when I'm in this thread and click 'Office' or 'Forums', a blank page appears. Post response notifications are taking a long time to click open in my account; the first two attempts ended in a 'server took a long time to respond' message.
I've had a similar issue recently, with GS forums simply never loading for an hour or so, citing being redirected too many times or taking a long time to respond, I don't remember which it was. But it's different today because my blank page doesn't have any fault message.
I wonder what's causing this.

Yes, it is obviously widespread and recurring. I would suggest to try to delete cookies anyway and hope that it will start working after some time again.
 
Some "negative" feedback: I am using chrome on a Chromebook and haven't had this problem.
 
Can those of you who are having issues respond with what device you are using as well as the browser?

Also, are you logged in or out when it happens?

Thanks!
It seems to be running smoothly now, thanks!
I was logged in (I cannot really compare as I usually stay logged in), my devices were my laptop and my phone, and I had Chrome on both.

I've had the blank page issue happen when I'm on my phone (Android) and using Chrome on it.

I'm logged in when it happens, most of the time the blank page shows up on the What's New page for me.

I haven't had this happen in the past 2-3 weeks, when mentioned via PM. When it did, it was on both devices

Phone Android Chrome not logged in
MacBook, Firefox, logged in.

I hope this info is useful.

Thank you for your help !
 
Logged in or out, but it does not really matter as when it happens GS is gone on all devices (laptop, phone) regardless whether they are logged in or not. When it comes back, it comes back on all of them, again regardless of being logged in or not.
 
If you're encountering issues, please can you post a screenshot in this thread of what you're seeing exactly? Thanks!

When it happened to me a couple weeks ago

The whole page was blank on my Mac.
On my phone it said " Error : Too many attempts at redirecting" or something like that.

If it happens to me, I will provide a screen shot, but I thought this may be helpful.
 
I had it start happening now when I tried the main forum page. I've attached a screenshot, I did get an error message this time.

I have had this problem on and off for about 3 weeks. I would click on golden skate forum on my laptop, windows 10, chrome browser and I would get a blank page with nothing on the screen except the search bar and my bookmarks across the top of the screen. Last week I took my laptop in and had it upgraded to Windows 11 and everything has been working ok since then. I have to admit that I have the forum bookmarked now but every time I click on the bookmark I hope it works.
The first couple of times I got an error message about being redirected too many times and I should clear cookies and cache. I cleared cookies and cache but the next day I could not get to GS. GS sent me a link to my email and that worked for a day or so and then it didn't work.

Right now everything seems fine......
