It was playing up this morning again (UK time) but is better this evening, but still slow though.Our apologies about these issues. We made a few tweaks, hopefully it's improved on our end.Now is nearly back to normal. Nothing has changed my end.Yes getting beyond a joke now, just been timed out 4 times, in a row.Yes, DPReview is becoming pretty much unusable as a web site. I have never seen so many problems by CloudFare as I do with DPReview. I'd say 80% of the time I get the stall and then the CloudFare page.This is still happening, it has been bad the last few hours, getting timed out again. The site is too slow loading every post.Sorry about that. Maybe for the next couple of days, just in case, if it's a long post I would write it in another app and then post it.

Same here in the UK. Slow at best for the last couple of days and getting Gateway timeouts today.
I am seeing that same error page in the past week or so.Again, very slow loading pages yesterday and this morning, and today I gave up after getting a gateway timeout after repeatedly trying to load a discussion thread but only getting blank pages. Now three hours later pages are loading properly.
Articles and forum pages open fine. When I click on any post/thread, it takes a long time. Sometimes it ends in this error page.
I don't have this issue with any other sites. So, it's not my internet connection.
Thanks.
Edit: After I wrote my message above and clicked 'Post' button, the page was spinning for a minute and ended on that error page. However, when I opened in another browser tab and came to this forum, I could see my name as the last post on the thread.

It has really been bad tonight. About 10 times in a row, l got timed out.I am seeing that same error page in the past week or so.Again, very slow loading pages yesterday and this morning, and today I gave up after getting a gateway timeout after repeatedly trying to load a discussion thread but only getting blank pages.

Yes, the forums seemed to be effectively offline for 20 minutes or more. No actual forum content could be accessed other than the top-level list of threads.
What's especially annoying is that information is lost with these "gateway timeouts".
If you click on one of your notifications about a reply in a thread, the mere act of clicking the notification clears it. When you then get the gateway timeout error before the forum page actually displays, you lose the notification can't try again later.
If these timeouts are going to be a perpetual feature of the site, the admins should update the notification code so that the notification is cleared only when you have actually read the post (a valid, complete page render) instead of when clicking on it.
This has happened to me many times now and it's becoming annoying.
The main (top-level) forum page always displays fine. It's only if you try and look at a particular thread or post that you get the timeout.

Yes getting timed out most the time in the last 12 hours, lost several posts. Yes notifications l agree, they disappear before you can read them.
This is not normal, l don't know of any other sites, that has this problem. If it persists then traffic will decrease and so will advertising revenue.

Another Gateway timeout this morning. Ironically, trying to read this thread!
Only one? You are lucky, l had about 10, now it is almost back to normal.
What is going on? Do DPR know. Maybe they need different type of staff?
Your post was four days ago, but I didn't notice a difference until today - the first time in ages that I've encountered no delays or failures at all. Sure feels like something got fixed!

Yes it is working normally today, on my system.
this is almost funny.
I was about to post "for me too" after having had a look at several other posts working away at a good speed, then it took 15 seconds for this window to appear...but it is much better than it has been,
It is still working normally this end. Do you see adverts?
After I reply and click the "post" button, it brings me back the screen below, when I expect to see the actual message posted, in flat view.

I ran into the gateway time-out page shown in the screenshot below, few minutes ago, when trying to post my reply in a thread.
My post did go through. So, the error is confusing.

There was a big AWS outage today, which is where DPReview is hosted. I can see some spottiness in server connectivity happened here and there over the course of a few hours, but it looks like we came through relatively unscathed compared to other sites hosted in AWS.
But this happens all the time with dpr. Question, will it be any better with the forum moving to different source? My plain old every day laptops simply can't handle the amount of data that dpr outputs. No other site is this way.
