I'm getting a lot of "Something went wrong" and other generic maintenance pages. I'm sure there's something big going on causing it, but just in case you're not aware, there you go!

    Yeah, same except that I am getting exclusively "Down for Maintenence, try again in a few minutes" messages.

    Icy is making a monster in the lab and he's needing the electric power to raise it from the dead.

    One in three attempts to access the site over the last two hours has given me the unhappy "oops there is a problem" face.

    Yeah it's definitely increasing in frequency as the day is going on.

    Four in the last couple of minutes. Refreshing works, though.

    It is beyond Vanilla's control, but we're working on it. There is a bug in our hosting provider's virtualization layer the causes some newly provisioned instances to be unable to communicate with others. This has plagued us since migration to the new infrastructure.

    I have the ability to apply a workaround that fixes individual cases such as this one, but I'm leaving the problem in place while I get our hosting partners to investigate it so that they can properly debug the underlying cause. I appreciate all of your patience while we do that!

    We've applied the workaround so responses should be consistent now. Thanks again for your patience

    Got some connection issues just now (having to keep logging in as well as the overloaded server screen.).

    EDIT: Whoops, didn't catch the other thread because I had this post queue'd up to make sure it wasn't a temporary problem. My bad.
