While I’m in the forums, sometimes I get this error. I’ve gotten it twice in the past day. When I try to post and this error message is present, my post doesn’t… well… post, and I can’t save a draft, either. I’m wondering if this is only on my end or if other people are getting this error, too.
My browser is Chrome 81.0.4044.138 on Windows 10.
Hiya, we sometimes get outside bots crawling the forums which can lead to temporary errors like this. We’re working on a potential solution :)
This is happening again, except it’s much more severe. The forums (and wikiHow) are taking a long time to load, and I got this error message.
All other websites are loading in quickly.
I am using Chrome 81.0.4044.138 on Windows 10

wikiHow is taking more and more time to load, especially forums for me too. Chrome Windows 10.

Same here. I switch from router to router, and it seems to be making no difference. I also use Chrome.
Same here @WikiaWang
. wikiHow itself is only a bit slower, but the forums are lagging like crazy. Chromebook, using Chrome.

Though I’ve only gotten the error a couple of times.
I’ve seen that error yesterday. I’m using Safari on macOS Catalina (10.15.4)
Edit: I mean iPadOS 13.4.1, I’m not using mobile mode.
I was getting that late last night, when trying to send a sentence for a forum game I began about 4 years ago which is still going strong. However, after I tried the browser refresh button between the second and third times, I clicked the publish comment button and it finally posted, and the error stopped displaying. (Chromium Edge for Windows on Windows 10)

Yeah, it quite often seems to hit during the weekend for some reason. I haven’t noticed any delays or errors today so hopefully it’s gone!
It’s faster today, seems to have fixed itself.
