Arcadia Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I could read if I am not log in but I get a blank screen if I log in. Its a 500 error, probably server got overloaded with requests. That was for about four hours for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 It was down for me since around 7pm Tues. I've been checking frequently today to see if it's back up. It's running normally for me now that's it's back. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kassia Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Just came back for me. I wanted to wish @TexasProud good luck with her biopsy and I needed to see any updates from @Elizabeth86!

I lurk so much more than I post but something about seeing that error screen made me feel a little adrift myself!

Arcadia Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 5 minutes ago, kathyl said: What is Reddit? Is it like WTM or similar? Reddit is also a forum based website like WTM. You can read without an account. For examples the Costco subreddit would have posts on sales and new products by the general public. My son's college subreddit have posts on things like classes being switch to online due to flooding, airfare sales, housing deals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corraleno Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 11 minutes ago, kathyl said: What is Reddit? Is it like WTM or similar? There are subreddits for pretty much every topic you can think of, and they each have their own moderators, so the general "culture" of a subreddit can vary from really helpful and supportive to really mean and nasty and everything in between. But the good ones can be really useful sources of info on very specific topics. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corraleno Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 For me, it seemed to be related to the log in process. I could see it in an open tab in Safari while I was logged in, but when I went to refresh the page, I got a blank screen. I tried using FireFox, and again I could see the forum landing page, but when I tried to log in I got a weird "prove you're human" page with an image of a car in a maze and had to put a dot where the end of the route was, and after I did that it seemed to be logging me in, but again I just got a blank page. Tried a 3rd time on my phone, same issue — I could see the forum until I tried to log in, then it went blank. And once I'd tried to log in, the blank page meant there was no way to log out so I couldn't even read it as a guest and see if there was any discussion of the issue or a work-around.

EKS Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I was able (usually) to see the site using incognito mode but I couldn't log in and I couldn't use my normal bookmark that logs me in. What was disturbing was the number of times that I found myself at the error page without being conscious of having clicked on the bookmark to get me there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear your web browser cache. That was how I was able to read and realize people are probably having the same problem I had since the most recent threads were all “four hours ago” for example. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think it was likely a “clear your cache” issue since I couldn’t get in on multiple devices with different browsers, but I tried clearing my laptop just in case. But it didn’t help. I still got the same error message. On my phone I just got a blank screen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So she can view the forum as a guest. When I cleared my browser cache on my laptop and iPhone, I could read as a guest.

This morning I didn't clear my cache to check and then the website was back up for me later. If you or @MercyA are on FB messenger, I could text you. Anyway, you didn't miss anything because no one could post. I could only read what was already posted. around 1pm PST - blank screen appeared. cleared cache and could read threads as guest 5:28pm to 5:31pm yesterday - could log in and replied two posts before getting the blank screen again. cleared cache and read as guest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Blue Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If anything ever happens, I’m going to Google “welltrainedmind Reddit” to see if by chance someone made one. I don’t know how. Maybe someone will think of it and hope that at least some of us find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
