For the past week or so I have had so many timeouts it drives me nuts. The dns is fine and tracert is fine with a couple of timeouts after 204.68.252.171 during an outage. That said, I believe this to be in your router (port forwarding) or hardware firewall, ssl/tls certificate, or the servers. Anyone else?

There is definitely something wrong on the Lawn Mower Forum end.

It called mot having enough bandwidth when you are trying to expand into other areas. They either got to pay more for more BW or stop expanding. Besides with all the ads they have they should have the funds.

I can't believe your hosting site, DigitalOcean, is unable to fix mesh and/or load balancing issues for such a long period of time. Your bandwidth is fine, extremely low load according to my testing. I was a CIO for a large company for years, and I would be calling DigitalOcean every 1/2 hour for a status and pushing to get it fixed. If they can't figure it out...get MS/Cisco in there to work on it with them. My test shows an MS server farm with a strong Linux-based security system in front of Cisco routing and switches.

I have been monitoring your network servers for an hour without issue. It is a database issue, IMO.

They need to move the site to Bluehost, SiteGround, DreamHost, or HostGator...or in-house...this is unacceptable. I am not seeing any timeouts; DNS is fine, and Tracert is fine; the issue appears to be with JS or SQL or a combination.

another outage: Strange, it shows connection closed at Lightspeed hosting, but that is not their hosting site.

Apparently The powers to be don't give a damn if it takes us 30 minutes to login just post. That how it took this morning.

I tried three or four times today to visit and it always just spins. Not worth my time coming - I hope the moderators see this and fix whatever is causing the problems.

Muhammad or Mohammad needs to shit and get off the pot, Taking a very long to get anything posted is not right. Since the site can't seem to get straighten out I am going to just avoid it for a while and save on the never pills.

it is still an ongoing problem. Some browsers do it worse than others. Occasionally code will come up instead of a page. Maybe that is why Google is laying off now - paying people to make others go in circles. DOGE is not at fault here. If anything just the opposite. X, Starlink, Tesla, and SpaceX all work. That is what pisses you off huh StarTech? But we do appreciate all your mower and engine suggestions anyway.
some days it take 6 attempts to even get into the site. And then when you do it may go to 500 error before you are able to post a reply, or in some cases I have to leave and come back later.
Well I got better things to do than Pussy Foot around with this forum especially during my business hours. It only took an hour to get in this morning. Then locked out after one or two posts. I got to where if the system don't let me in I just move on for most of the day. Although I do research items that is of interest to myself as update my database here if I happen get in on a read only mode.
I have taken a minimum post attitude lately due to site being such a pain to deal with. I get tire of cussing at the screen.
Being new to the group, ... It took a mind numbing time, over the weekend, to even register, cuz' it didn't appear to accept My Data, & I thought that I'd try it one more time this morning. When I typed in my "Group Name", it stated that the Name was already taken! LOL! I then tried logging in, & typing in my Password, & it worked.
Since this morning,.... I've gotten "Not available", "& "Can't be found", but,.... When I toggled the Java Script on, & off that would clear it up.
But in my case, ... "When it rains,... It Floods", which causes me to start singing "We shall Overcome", even Pray at times.

See you later if your site ever gets fixed. I tired of cussing the screen. No point getting my Afib stirred any more than it is already.
