What is happening to Gransnet

I use Chrome on a PC and when GN goes down I just can't get in, no error messages.

Gransnet used to come through into my emails regularly which I really enjoyed. For some reason this has stopped and now I have to go hunting for it through Google. Would anybody know why this has happened?

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

Yes, I did realise they've probably been busy cobwebbing with a feather duster.

When checking if Gransnet is down a message comes up saying it's not just me, it's down for everyone.
There must be a lot of cobwebs around lately.

Hi all, apologies for the outages this week. We are going to do an update tomorrow which should put a stop to them we hope.

The errors you see are from "Cloudflare" telling you that they can't reach Gransnet. In general, when you request a page the request goes you -> Cloudflare -> us. If our site is unreachable they show that error message.

Again, apologies for this. We are working on fixing it.

Can I ask, are you not aware of problems, until GNetters report them?
I had always assumed that things showed up your end, in some way.

I didn’t actually note the times but think it’s was something like 6am till 8 ish this morning

Down this morning at 7.30am, could not access via laptop and tablet, both Google.

Ok in Australia just now.

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.

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.

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

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. 🤞🏻

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

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

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.

Bad gateway message.
Using safari on ipad.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Good!

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.

I blame Putin.
