Issues accessing GS main forum page

[yelyoh]

Happening now. On IMac desktop using Safari. And on cell. But it's on and off for the past few weeks.

I'm getting it right now, too. I'm using Chrome.

It's happening now for me too, blank screen, no error message.
I had this issue before and it came back few hours later (with any troubleshooting from me).
I'm using Mac laptop with Chrome.

It's happening to me, now too. I use Chrome. Using shortcuts I can access the edge but it is frustrating when I get that blank page on the home page of the Forum. Yes I am logged in when this has been happening.

It doesn't matter if you're logged in or out. I tried opening the page on a device I don't use all the time, so I wasn't logged in.

I just got it back, it was off with a blank page instead of the forum home page for a couple of hours

If you're encountering issues, please can you post a screenshot in this thread of what you're seeing exactly? Thanks!

I had the issue this afternoon about four hours ago. I am not good with screenshots.

On my MacBook Pro, Safari and Chrome. On my iPhone, Safari. On my iPad (brand new as of February) Safari and Chrome.

A blank page with the URL "Goldenskate.com/forum" at top. All other sections of the website (clubs, events, etc.) worked. The Forum brought up only a totally blank screen.

Clearly it is working now.

That's all I got, too. A blank screen. I wouldn't have been able to send a screenshot because I couldn't sign in to begin with.

So to be clear, it's only happening on the forum? The main site is OK?

Also, if this happens to you, please note down the date / time it happened and pop it in this thread when you're able. Thanks!

Yes, in my experience it was/is only affecting the forums.

And, no more blank page/slow loading issues for me either yesterday or today, hooray. I'll report the time if it occurs again.

I've had the blank page start happening to me now on the What's New page and the main forum page around 7:50 AM Central time. I've attached a screenshot of it.

Are any of the above using a VPN?

No VPN, I was on cellular data.

Well, the break didn't last long, it's happening to me again. No forum page visible, just a blank page below the bookmark bar... Time 16:39 CET, no VPN, Chrome, laptop, Win10.
Edit - past 19 PM CET (daylight savings time), and the forum's back to normal...

It happened to me on September 16, between 1 and 2 pm EDT. A completely blank page.

No VPNs. Just using my standard cable based Wifi with an ISP that shows my real location. With my phone, I used my phone carrier.

Only for the forum. The "main page" and other pages loaded.

I tried again at 6 EDT on Sept 16 and was able to load the forum. I do not know if I would have been able to load it earlier.

I'm not sure in my case, not being too techie-talented. I have GS Sign In bookmarked on both Firefox and Chrome (I only have one access to the internet, on a MacBook Air laptop, no smart phone or other device). When I clicked on that bookmark, I got a blank screen in both places, just with the URL at the top. Not even a whirly thingy indicating it was trying to reach that address. I wasn't able to sign in. This was for several hours on Sep 16, but I only use the computer when I'm at home and don't keep checking it, so I don't know exactly how long GS was out of commission.

It's currently started again for me at around 12:30pm EST today.

Very minor point, sadly I think we are still on Daylight Savings Time

I am one of three people in the US who doesn't like DST, so I am eagerly awaiting "fall back".

In my brain, I just default to EST no matter where we are in the Daylight Savings Time cycle, so make of that what you will.
