503, 403 and 401 errors: But why?

[Scepticalscribe]

Just received a "403 Error" message in the private section of the forum - "Let's Have A Drunk" - where they often, very frequently, do appear.

However, was most surprised to receive a "503 Error" message while in the middle of composing a reply in the "community section" of the forum, specifically, the "what are you listening to today?" thread.

I haven't seen one of these errors in months. I'm not too knowledgable on XenForo but I wonder if these errors are coming up are frequently in those image heavy threads.

Possibly, but the "Let's Have A Drunk" thread - where a great many error messages tend to put in an appearance - rarely - despite the thread title - features any images.

Granted, there are image heavy threads, some of which are slow to load, but - in my experience - they are not the major culprits when the matter under discussion is - or are - the error messages.

"403 Error" showing up again in the "private" section of the forum, the "Let's Have A Drunk" when I attempted to edit a post.

More "403 Error" messages appearing in the "Let's Have A Drunk" thread of the private section of the forum.

More "403 Error" messages appearing in the "Let's Have A Drunk" thread of the private section of the forum.

This again, as it has appeared a number of times in the "Let's Have A Drunk" thread in the private section of the forum.

For some reason, this is where the Error 403 message appears - or seems to appear - most frequently.

I see it most when accessing my notifications.

Yes, I see it then, too, but especially when I am accessing my notifications in the "privates" section.

Again, the "403 Error" message has appeared at least twice today in that particular thread - "Let's Have A Drunk" in the private section of the forum.

Just received my first 503 notification since we crossed over to the new version. I was hoping they would be a thing of the past.

It was whilst selecting new posts from the what are you listening to thread.

I, too, would have hoped that they might have been an element, or feature, or the previous system; they were especially prevalent in the "What Have You Drunk Today?" in the private section of the forum.

Very well; I shall keep my eyes open, and shall report them when I come across them.

Just received an "403 Error message" when I attempted to access the forums, telling me that the server was busy and to try again.

[Scepticalscribe]

Just received - across the full screen - a "503 Server Busy - Try Again Later" message when I attempted to access the "Community Forums" section of the forum.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Another "503 Error Service Unavailable - Try Again Later as We're Busy" just now, when I attempted to access the private section of the forum.

thanks for the reports. looking into it

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Just now, having started a new thread, (in the "current affairs" section), I have received a notification that read: "503 Service Unavailable" and, in letters of in a smaller font, it continued "The server is temporarily busy, try again, later!"

Trying to post this for 2 minutes. Having same issues.

 

[Scepticalscribe]

Actually, the forums then went completely down for a few minutes - the server couldn't be reached at all; I checked my internet connection - and shut it down once - but that wasn't the issue; it was MR.

So, it is not only me who has this experience.

You know, I was going to poke fun at you and ask why you keep breaking MR, but I didn’t know how you’d take it.

What is considered humour doesn't always travel well online, because context and culture matter..

Having said that, my suspicion is that MR breaks me, not the other way around.

Just saw two more '503' errors in the last few minutes just reading through new threads...#grrr
