What is happening to Gransnet

I blame China/Trump/Elon Musk/Brexit 🤣

Fairly sure it's Brexit!

Maybe not paid their electric bill.

I always think I must have done something!

I am the same if I see a police car.

Probably doing maintenance. All websites have to be cleaned up for security and performance.

Yes, me too

If it is entertainment you're after.......have a look at MN occasionally.

I’m the same when I’m out & about & see a fire engine, I always think I’ve probably left the iron on or something.

I'm the same too.

Even the lifesize cardboard cut out of a policeman in our local Home Bargains window makes me feel guilty.

I blame Putin.

My Gransnet was down for half a day one day this week. Trump, Vance, Musk and Putin don't like what we say about them.

Good!

In answer to the op;
Yes, GN is often hard to log on to, and even then it’s really ‘sticky’ - it’s been like this for weeks.
Mumsnet is the same.

I always check on downforeveryone

It would be odd if there wasn't an onscreen message for maintenance but unless I'm imagining it, it always seems to be early mornings (in the UK) at the weekend.

There have been several long outtages in the past week - reported on the site you link to, ferry23.

If there is ongoing site maintenance, I am also curious why no blue messages have appeared.

Going to report own post to ask HQ to comment.

Thanks for posting. Could you let us know what issues you're experiencing - e.g., is the site completely inaccessible, slow, or showing an error message? Also, what device and browser are you using? We’ll look into it ASAP. Thank you.

I use Chrome - mostly my laptop sometimes phone.

I get an error message - I can't remember exactly which one it is maybe Bad Gateway/Timed Out?

Bad gateway message.
Using safari on ipad.

I use Edge on the laptop and Safari on my ipad.
The error message came up on both.
Can't remember exactly but something like gateway error 500.

Error message. Bad gateway. Using chrome on my phone.

It was completely down this morning for a few hours
Gateway message

I use Safari and Ipad

It was out for half a day last week and has had a lot of periods of being very slow and very sticky over the last few weeks

I just realised that I hadn’t had my Gransnet Daily email since the middle of February! It just hadn’t dawned on me - time does fly so fast when you’re enjoying (🤪) yourself. Hopefully by coming here and checking My Gransnet, it’ll start up again. 🤞🏻

No message for me this morning. GN simply didnt load when I clicked on the icon.

Macbook, Sequoia 15.3.1, Firefox.

Site has been down several times this week for extended periods.

I always check with downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ Says not just me, the site is down for everyone.

Occasional bad gateway cloudflare error - sorry didn't jot down error code. Mostly browser just doesn't connect.

On some occasions site comes back up with bits of code in place of site elements.
