Random server glitches over the past week

Got a question? Can't figure out how to get that neat picture under your user name? Need any other tech tips? Post it here! Also, this is where I make important site related announcements.

This page is only occupying half the screen on my laptop with tons of random space in both margins. The font is substantially smaller, and I know it is just this page because ESPN shows up just fine.

Are you using Chrome? You may have accidentally adjusted the font size for this site. Chrome saves your font size adjustments per site. On a Mac use cmd +/-. On Windows use ctrl +/-.

Hopefully that solves your issue.

FYI I’ve been receiving lots of the following message in the past week or two:

Sorry but the board is temporarily unavailable, please try again in a few minutes.

It's happened to me a few times as well. I am changing some settings in an effort to prevent this.

Bot traffic is the culprit. Bing in particular has been brutal, so I just blocked that one moments ago. Fuck Microsoft.

Got a 502 server error shortly after 1pm that persisted for maybe 20 minutes.

I've got a 502 error off and on all day today. It's more common in the early minutes of an hour compared to the late minutes in an hour. It makes me wonder if bot traffic is more common during those times, causing the server to become unstable.

I get the occasional "not secure you are being redirected" message from my server when I try to reach the site via Microsoft Edge, but can access it without problems from Google Chrome. That's happened three times this evening.

I got the same 502 error a couple of additional times this evening too. Like the other poster it was early in the hour.

The issues are back unfortunately. I'll work on this over the next several days. I'm sure it is bot related.
