Error 503 Keeps Popping Up
I don't know if the problem is with the site or my computer, but I'll frequently get an "Error 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable" instead of the page I tried to open, and usually any pages that do open are super slow. Am I the only one having this problem? Also, I'm new to this, so I didn't know where to post this. If I'm in the wrong section, please tell me.

EDIT: I almost forgot, but this issue is ONLY with this website.

I can confirm this happens to me too. It mostly occurs, in my case, when I open a bunch of tabs in quick succession (for instance, when I want to explore a bunch of new images I've missed), and this is the only website that does this.

This isn't too problematic (for me at least) because a page refresh will generally take care of it - although not always, with the site requiring sometimes multiple refreshes to work, and it's still a bit of a pain.

On another note, I would suggest making the title clearer. As per the forum's rules, "Threads must have titles that some way express the topic of the thread. No vague clickbait titles."

I have had the same issue, and as TheMadPrince says, it is mostly after opening a bunch of tabs in quick succession. My theory is that this is some sort of bot-protection, and if you slowly refresh the pages, the problem will probably go away. Services like this one does not have unlimited budget, and therefore to make sure the service is open for as many people as possible, it is probably some anti bandwith/server hogging script.

I've been getting it too; was blaming it on the poor net in my area, but maybe it's the site, what with 4 people sharing the same issue

usually the 503s clear up with a refresh

I also agree with The MadPrince, it often happens when I open a good amount of tabs

Alright I'm passing this on to the rest of the team.

Maybe on of them will know, cause technical stuff like this is outside my abailty.

How do I change the title? And also, would "Pages not working" be more appropriate? Sorry, as I said, I'm new to this.

EDIT: I figured it out. Is that better?

I believe you just hit the little "edit" button under your very first comment in the post, and there should be a "Title" bar that you can edit (although having not done it myself, I'm not positive). As for the change, yeah, it's basically just to signify that your "problems" relate to the website and its workings itself. Something like what you said, or perhaps "Frequent 503 errors while navigating".

EDIT: Ohp, you changed it while I was answering :D yeah that seems better to me (although I guess mods will chime in if it's not).
