Thanks Novian. Things should be returning to normal now. The issues earlier today with the deliverability of the site were external to ProZ.com itself, but it did take longer than it could have to detect and react, something to work on. Let me know if you happen to notice further problems accessing any part of the site.

Thanks, Jared. The issue seems to have been resolved. 👍
By the way, any updates on the new website?

Yes, for a while reloading or just jumping from one page to another was nearly impossible without getting an error screen.
I would like to say that I'm getting used to all the (returning) bugs, but I'm not. I think it's a disgrace that paying members have to continue experiencing this with ultimately very little info about why these things keep on happening and with "a new website" as a carrot on a stick.

I'm sure "soon" (ha!) we'll receive another message that "we are working hard... bla bla bla", but the thing is that after all this time I don't think these people are working hard at all, for reasons I can only guess about (lack of competent staff? Lack of money to pay for competent staff or a competent website developer?). Imagine wanting to develop a new or even merely improved website and not having resultats after what? 2 years? This new or improved website thing seems to be a side project of someone with a fulltime week job and 2 additional weekend jobs.
I'm speculating, and that's against the rules, but being paid for a crappy website should also be against the rules.
End of rant. ▲ Collapse

Okay, you are saying this was something external to Proz.com. I can understand it.
Also, it's not unusual for websites to have occasional bugs, especially during active development, but it’s uncommon for significant issues to persist over several years without being addressed for good.
IMHO a well-managed website would typically stabilize within a few months after introducing new features or a major redesign.
We've been used to these bugs for over a year now. It would be good to know when the new site is going live.... so that we can all use the site in a pleasant way, without mishaps and without jeopardising our communication, particularly with potential clients and regular ones.
Thank you.

Can confirm. I experienced the same a few minutes ago, along with an HTTPS error. But they seem to have been resolved now.

Is it possible that Proz.com is under attack?
The stupid thing is that you cannot post about outages on their backup forum at Face Puke because the posts there are heavily moderated.

Maybe. Claude AI has been on a rampage scrapping websites and flooding their bandwidth. Effectively causing DDoS attacks.

Hi Henry,
I see that you've decided to drop by. May we get some clarification, so we're not making wild assumptions about the state of this website?
Cheers.

3 out of 5 times I get 503 error. I don't know what's happening, but it's happening more often.

Same here. Notifications do not seem to work either.

Hmm, I got email notifications for new posts made in this thread. But job notifications have been dead for a while on my end.
Addendum:
The training section threw me a DNS lookup failure. What's even happening anymore?

On a side-note, I had a brief look at the new test site Proz is working on and it looks horrendous. Please, for the love of god, don't make it any worse than it already is.

On a side-note, I had a brief look at the new test site Proz is working on and it looks horrendous. Please, for the love of god, don't make it any worse than it already is. It doesn't have to look snazzy, it just needs to be functional. I use Proz to find work, ask terminology questions, and occasionally chat in the forums, I don't give a damn what the site looks like, and neither do companies looking for translators, IYAM. In the new site, there was tons of wasted space, and it was just a mess. I much prefer the more old-school website we currently have. I actually preferred the even older version, as it was visually clearer. I don't want giant, colourful buttons: I want clear text and boring colurs. If you ask me, visually, everything went downhill fast after Proz.com bought TM-Town and took on their developer (sorry, Kevin!).

Just now:
If I go to this page, and try to log in:
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/dutch-to-english/law-patents/185850-schadebeding.html (I can't log in)
I CAN log in from this page: https://www.proz.com/
but if I then click on this page: https://www.proz.com/search/ I get automatically logged out again!
also, this only happens in Chrome. Firefox still works
