Firefox and Edge on Windows, both logged in and not logged in.

Update for convenience: mobile site appears to work fully on the same internet connection.

    This seems to be linked to the full version of the site. The posts load in mobile, but I get the same behavior as PC when I view the full site on my phone

    Same with me for desktop chrome.

    Can still browse the forums themselves, but attempting to click on and view any thread gives the error.

    Also getting errors on desktop when attempting to view any user profile, it partially loads some info as text only but no background or GUI elements at all.

    Mobile website is working completely fine though, can browse threads and user profiles just fine by emulating an android device in chrome dev tools

    Same. Works fine on safari on my iPhone, but the desktop site fails to load any thread I go to in any subforum.

    Happening here too, desktop Firefox doesn't load. Deleting cookies didn't belp. Mobile site on same network works fine.

    As above, but also noting that accessing a thread on desktop/full site appears to update the #latest tag, so the request seemingly fails after generating the page and the updating the last read post marker.

    It may be irrelevant but I found it to be interesting: to test the desktop site I clicked on some threads I’d never viewed before.

    Upon doing so, it errored out, as expected, but when I return to the sub forum main page, those threads are now greyed out instead of showing the orange dot.

    So while something is preventing desktop chrome from seeing the thread itself, something is updating to say “yup, you’ve seen this thread, nothing new to show you here.”

    Might not be pertinent, but I thought I’d share all the same.

    Same here. Mobile works fine. But anytime I click on a thread on desktop, it's a 500 error.

    Firefox (desktop), Chrome (mobile). Attempted to bookmark this very thread so I could actually view it on mobile. Clicking the little bookmark icon gave the "There has been an error, please try again" message, and the icon didn't change status, but... here I am. :/

    For shits and giggles I went into a thread in mobile, waited for it to completely load, then switched my mobile browser to request the full site version of the currently loaded page.

    Surpring precisely nobody, this also resulted in a 500 server exception.

    Nothing on browsers on desktop but posting this on iPhone in safari is going through. We live in a society.

    Obvious workaround is to pull up the mobile site on your phone, but for those of you who, like me, fumble the fuck out of on-screen keyboards, here's a workaround to pull up the mobile site on desktop:

    Firefox: Just hit Ctrl+Shift+M, then where it says "Responsive", switch it to a mobile device, then refresh the page.

    Chrome-based browsers:
    On the main forum page, pull up the developer console (usually Ctrl+Shift+J or just right click on the webpage and "Inspect")

    Then click on the "Toggle Device Toolbar"

    Resolved for me - entering this from the desktop site.

    I can see threads again!

    Yep, they had an issue with their new site update, but we should be good to go now. Thanks for your patience!
