Been getting reports of blank pages showing up on the site (browser independent). It happened to me last night on the last page of a thread but not the previous pages. As well, I seem to not be getting email notifications to PM replies.

I have contacted the grand pooba. Likely the server is getting the winter blahs.

If you are getting some issues, please post here (if you can see this :biggrin: )

I had the same blank pages earlier this evening. It felt like a DNS error without the usual 404 error. Looking fine at the moment (if you can see this :biggrin: ).

I'm getting a "page isn't redirecting properly" error on the main forum page. But I can go to any links I already have as bookmarks, like new posts.

I’ve had a few reports of blank pages today, but after I performed some maintenance actions, they were reported as resolved.

When is the last time someone saw blank pages?

I’ll get the email issue figured out.

i had blank pages this afternoon and early evening, it's tough to put an exact time on it though. It seems to have stopped after 6pm in the east. I actually thought it was my tablet causing the problem and switched to a laptop.

I reported to you guys when I had those problems, they had been going on for about 15 minutes prior to that.

Still have issues with the GMTNation.com with a redirect. Everything else seems to be working at the moment.

Edit: Had not had other issues prior to that all day, or yesterday. I also never go to the gmtnation.com main page, as I operate off bookmarks.

it still is happening, at least to me.
edit: to add more info
from my google browsers main page, I have short cut icon, just below the google search bar, that goes to gmtnation.com/forums... produces a blank page
when i type gmtnation follow by ctrl+enter in the address bar, that produces a blank page
when i click on the forums link at the top of this page, that produces a blank page

I cannot access the "forums" page specifically. To get to the site I had to do a google search then select something other than "forums".

I suspect @Beacon has some sort of Voodoo doll and is using it against the site.

I'm researching Voodoo countermeasures and I'm hoping for a swift resolution.

...further adding mystery to a problem that existed yesterday, then self-resolved, and reappeared today :compu-punch:

Just tried it too, main forum page is just blank. No error or redirect issue. Just a white page. Same with FF and Edge.

The problem is again resolved. (you may need to do a Shift+F5).

Once again, though, I'm suspicous of both the cause and the resolution.

Please report back if you encounter the problem again.

Correction.. Getting it now on random pages, specifically my thread asking for help on my Aztek. No other pages... which is weird.

Refresh, and hard refresh does not help.

Edit: I can also say that this only happened AFTER I replied to the thread..

I was able to view the thread, then reply to the thread, and view it again without any blank pages or redirect errors.

Is there something different I can try to help reproduce what you’re seeing?

It seems to be random for me. What works one minute, doesnt seem to work the next.. Tonight, so far, it has only been that thread.
