Chrome Issues?

[mgil]

We’ve been seeing a few folks have issues with the site glitching recently. This may be limited to Chrome users? On iOS Safari looks to be stable. On a Windows machine, Firefox (or Edge) might be a viable workaround.

We will do some checking on this end soon when time allows.

I'm experiencing this with iOS Safari. Can send screenshots and user data if helpful.

You can slip them into my DMs. It's likely going to have to wait until the weekend to see what can be done if it is a phpbb update issue.

Maybe its an issue with an extension that people use? I use vanilla chrome at work and chrome at home that has a bunch of extensions - no issues on either.

Got "bad gateway" last night, then that shifted to a wall of text.
Thought i was locked out, as it was the same this morning.
Oddly, when i thought to refresh the glitched page, it let me in, and i'm back to normal loading from a new window.

Using chrome with some extensions on my PC w/Windows 7

You can have my windows 7 when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

Bad Gateway has nothing to do with the browser, it's an issue on the server side of things. Probably just a spike in traffic that's caused the hosting to suspend or reject things for a bit.

Yeah, i get those fairly often.
The part where it then changed to a wall of text/code of the phpBB template or exodus forum code is what was weird.

that'd be javascript and/or stylesheets not loading - so your main request for the page went through, but some of the other resource requests still returned 500 while whatever the issue was was resolving.

The number of ways internet stuff can go wrong is pretty expansive. It's a real testament to the design of TCP/IP that this stuff works at all.

I'm just glad to be here.


Thanks for the explanation, btw

** I will say it's odd this has never happened before now(the wall of text part) , and it happened again this morning.
Refresh fixed it, but with other people having issues, it makes me wonder if it's all related.

Now unusable today on Chrome due to wall of text/ code on white screen, having to load the forum up on FireFox.

I've run into the problem on every browser now. It isn't the site code, it's the server. Sucks.

As mgil said, that's a server issue, not generally a browser one. One possibility is that Chrome cached a bad response from the server at some point. You can force a full refresh with ctrl+shift+R (cmd+shift+R on mac). That will force it to go to the server for everything rather than loading from cache. It could help, although if the server is still being funky it might not.

Think you're right mate as your idea worked. Cheers!

Ya. I was able to load the site in incognito mode in chrome and in internet explorer to read your reply. CRTL + SHIFT + R worked to load the site in normal chrome. Thanks!

Super helpful.

Thank you, @cgeorg!

Recently I get a wall of code instead of the site when going to: index.php

If I just go to: https://www.exodus-strength.com, it's fine.

This is on Firefox and Windows 10.
