I only got 8 hops on a tracert before the requests started timing out.
Take that for what you will...

This morning I spoke too soon -
This evening -
Either the site is offline or an unhandled error occurred. We apologize and have logged the error. Please try your request again or if you know who your site administrator is let them know too.

Without putting a stopwatch on forum operations today (05/23/24)
The forum seems to respond faster - on par with other forums I participate in.
Last night I was only able to get 504 errors.
SO Irritating-- Todays the first time in a week that I have been able to see any Forum posts.
In railroad parlance - I suspect the Server is operating as a Single Track railroad.
If the single track is Clear of competing 'trains' one gets in and the Server responds to the request slowly but without incident.
If another user is having their requests handled, you get the 'We can't respond to your request' message right away and then we get our own request handled - eventually.
If two or more users are making requests of the Server, after dithering for very long seconds - we get the 504 Error.
Better today but needs to be quickly available to attract and retain members,
I got in the front door but after five tries.
Last night I gave up after ten tries with "no joy" as our communicators used to say in the Corps.
Front door.
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any
Still getting 504s but got to this posting by a back door!!
wjstixIt's been hit-and-miss for me today. Sometimes I can get in and post, then for awhile it's not working.

Looks like a slow death of frustration and dysfunctionslity.
Paraphrasing the Monty Python "Dead Parrot" sketch,
"This Forum is no more.'
Got a 504 trying to write a comment on News wire this morning around 0800.
EDIT got a unhandled error trying to post this comment after 37 seconds.
I get both the full screen 504 error and a pop-up window with buttons to "wait" or "exit the page."
It took over 15 minutes to scroll these three pages.
After 23 years, this is aggravating. This is the last railroad forum I actively participate, when it lets me log on, the two local ones have had server crashes that they never (so far) recovered from.
Same here, took a while for the site to come up, but was working when it finally did. Had one experiene over the weekend where the site would come up, but timed out when seecting a thread. Got a lot of 504's over the weekend.
Slow, but it's working...
Never had a problem before. But it's now happening to me. Took a couple of tries to get on the forum tonight.
By about 10:30 Central Sun 19 May things have progressed to what BaltACD observed last week: consistent 14-second-plus delays between pages, with the occasional 'forgot to load the request' issue. Notably not getting any white-page 504s or 'this site is temporarily available' messages, but the annoying delay between buffered text being typed on an iPhone keyboard and actually showing up on screen is getting ridiculous.
Me too, really frustrating.
blue streak 1Definiterly 504 is back as of Sunday 0600. hope IT can fix. This post just by luck!
More frequently I am getting a 'this site can't be reached' followed several seconds later with what I requested.

BaltACDMy son is coaching a girls soccer team for his daughter and others. They have a Facebook location and they stream the games from a semi-fixed cell phone camera. A lot of people use Facebook for a lot of activities.
On Facebook, there are many rail sites, such as Passenger Train Enthusiasts I and sites for specific railroads. Pictures are easy to post directly.
.
Sad to Hear.
Thank You.
This site may be going to another 504 incidents. Every slected posting is now giving a "HMM cannot reach site" for about 10 -14 seconds the finally connects.
tree68As much as some people hate Facebook - there are pages there for a variety of topics, including railroads. Come up with a suitable name, pick a couple of people to be mods/etc and let her rip.
