Boards undergoing service? 503 error constant.

503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.

I suspect the servers are being tweaked
any one else having this happen?
Happening everywhere on the board.

Same. It's like trying to wade through setting concrete.

Its happening to me to. Sometimes without the 503, when the page finished loading, all the words are messed up and misplaced, and sometimes the colors are out of whack to.

HAHA! Me too. I even rebooted my laptop and unplugged and replugged my router!

I guess we're all in the same bathtub!

maybe anonymous has taken aim at ATS...

Me too.
I was trying to post a UFO story from the news and kept getting error messages.
Maybe Berry is shutting ATS down.
Ironically, many of the posters that I have read, are very recent members.
(except you guys)

yes, 503 & 504.....

I clicked on a thread about military movements and got the 503 error
Then came back and got it again several times.

Freaked me out at first.
Not the first time this has happened to me on ATS.

Lets not jump the guns quite yet folks
hopefully not obama the govern or anonymous
although i did read a thread that anonymous
DOS attacked ATS those dirty SOB!!

Maybe hopefully it is just the servers
being upgraded or something benign like that
if you post right now people copy it just in case
you get 503'd you don't loose your info

Me too. I'm glad it isn't just me.

Anyone know what the problem is?

This happens every now and then. Just grab another cup of coffee or whatever and ride it out. If you're in my neck of the woods it's actually a nice day, I may go out for a bit.

Ah, good to see a Mod.
Any ideas on what is happening G.E.L.?

Sure, some unannounced, random maintenance in the middle of the day,

I bet on load balancer probs or DDOS...

Me also. I was going to fuss at the wife (what did you download???)

Glad I saw this first!

Lets hope it is not the last one...
Why would anonymous attack
a place that freely posts
there messages? Like biting
the hand that feeds you and counter
productive it would seem...

I have gotten 503, 504, and 502 errors

though they seem to be fewer and fewer, pages still take a long time to load.
