Forum's down—can anyone help?

I just set up my account and I’m still figuring out how everything works, but I can't seem to open anyone's posts or even see the threads they've started. Did I miss a step somewhere? Maybe I haven't fully activated my profile yet? Back when I had an account a few years ago, I could always just click a profile and dive right into their posts without any issues.

Michelle Cox61, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account might not have enough privileges to view this page. Are you attempting to edit another user's post, access admin tools, or use some other restricted feature?
If you're just trying to post, the site admin might have disabled your account, or it could still be waiting to be activated.

The forum has gone downhill. It’s basically broken for everyone. Expect a fix sometime around the year 2110.

If I were in charge, I’d be archiving threads like this one in a heartbeat!

Why bother? My girlfriend set up an account and can already tell something's off. It’s like buying a car only to realize it can't even handle a steep hill—you don't need a lecture to know something is broken.

She really should have taken a moment to browse through other threads on this topic first. And honestly, someone needs to teach her some manners regarding that all-caps title; it’s incredibly obnoxious.

The headline is way too loud—it’s actually hard to read because it’s just so massive. 😵

I’m posting this purely so you have some actual data regarding the quality of this forum... logging in is becoming an absolute chore. It keeps kicking me out, and I just spent an hour trying to register again with zero luck.
Forum dying

Maybe try clearing out your cookies and temporary cache in whatever browser you're running. I’ve been logged in via Chrome on my desktop all morning without a single hiccup.
It occasionally happens that I get kicked off Tapatalk and forced to log back in, but that's clearly just due to server instability.

Thanks northernpilot2, you're probably right. It's been ages since I actually cleared my cookies... I'll go ahead and run CCleaner right now 🙂.
I was honestly convinced the issue was on their server side 😛

🤷 cleared everything out, but the issue is still hanging around. It’s like the site doesn't even recognize me when I try to log in... it's a struggle almost every single time.

Hello. I am having some trouble accessing the pregnancy subforum. I just barely managed to log in.

Hey, look, just give it another shot. Maybe try clearing out your cookies first and then see if that does the trick.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve been having an absolute nightmare trying to log into the forum for the last few days. It feels almost impossible at this point. Can someone please help me out and explain what on earth is going on? Thanks!

It seems I’ve been running into these same frustrating issues over the last couple of days myself;
while Chrome appears to be functioning quite well at first, it inevitably freezes up after just five or six clicks, whereas both Internet Explorer and Opera feel sluggish right from the moment I launch them.

What is actually going on? I’ve never seen this many issues at once. This heat is killing me and I just wanted to cool off by scrolling through the boards, but I can't even get access to the forum.🤔

I’ve been running into some pretty massive issues with the forum over the last few days; while I can get the homepage to load just fine, I can't seem to open a single subforum to save my life.
Sometimes, if I’m incredibly lucky and try about a hundred times, one might actually load, and even then, I can only access specific threads if I click them directly from the main landing page. As for getting into the
subforums, it's basically impossible 🙂 🙂 because the loading icon just spins endlessly without ever actually showing me anything—though, in a weird twist of fate, I can occasionally manage to open a PDF file, which feels like a minor miracle. ^^
Of course, if one thing works, half of everything else breaks, which is just great... everything was working perfectly fine just a few days ago. ☕

Maybe all those billion ads are why this popped up?🤔

I ran into that exact same issue—honestly, just using AdBlock on Chrome fixed everything for me.👍

Been having the exact same issue for the last few days.
The homepage loads just fine, but I can't get into any of the other PDFs.
